SK22G2 Memory trouble

Air Marshal · 12 Sep 2006 at 11:30

I built the SK22G2 over the weekend, and get random copy and STOP errors while attempting to install Windows. Running Memtestindicates this seems to be a memory issue, and OCZ tell me the memory I used (PC6400 Gold Series) is undervolted. With no way to alter the voltage in the Shuttle BIOS, can anyone suggest 2GB of RAM that will actually work?

Edit: Don't want to drop more than £140 exc. VAT on it.

Can you run the OCZ with slacker timings, thus reducing its power requirement?

I thought it was only the fast quoted latencies that required 2.0+ volts.

Still getting errors at 6-6-6-18, although I'm going to try and install anyway to see if I can use the XPC tools to raise the voltage once I'm into Windows.

Install failed, IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error.

I give up; I'll replace it with less intensive sticks. Any ideas?

Shuttle have a compatible list, if able to find any of the modules from that, for the SK22G2.

Can also use memory select tools from companies like Crucial and Kingston. Althought I don't think you'll be able to get PC6400 2GB for the price range you listed.

Don't know if the value ranges from the big makes like Corsair are likely to work.

I was thinking of 2GB of Kingston PC5300 Value. Would it be safe to assume that will work given Kingston memory tends to work with the SK22G2? The compatibility list is not very helpful since there are only five (obscure) 1GB modules listed.

*Hopes he can sort this out and install XP by Saturday.*

Alright, I've replaced it with 2GB of Corsair Value 5300. Should arrive tomorrow.
