Well, I've been having problems for the past few days and I'm hoping someone can help me out!
I switched on the PC the other night and my system wouldn't boot. It powered on for a few seconds then powered off again....and kept doing this until I switched it off. I turned off the power at the PSU for several minutes and it then booted.
Upon booting into windows, I was greeted with a blue screen. This then happened several times after this, so my thought was memory. I ran memtest86 and it failed instantly. So I thought that prity much confirmed it, however, I rebooted again and tried the test again. Only this time it passed. Several times.
Completely stumped, I booted again into windows and it worked fine. I tried the memtest for windows, and that passed as well. I tried prime95 on blend, that passed. I updated the BIOS to the latest I could find. I thought the problem was over.
Fast forward to this morning and it blue screened again. I tried memtest86 and again, this passed several times. The only thing I can think of is when I run CPUz it says my memory timings are the following:
CAS: 5
RAS to CAS: 5
RAS PreCharge: 5
Cycle Time: 15
Now the default for my memory is suppost to be 4-4-4-12. Could this be the problem?
Everything at stock:
E6600 Conroe
Gigabyte DS4 (F6 BIOS)
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-5400C4
X1900XT
