invisible rep +1 =)

sorry to revive an old thread but i just RMA'ed my old ram and i am still getting BSOD. BSOD code is 0x1000008e. I did memtest on these rams too but no errors shows up. What else could the problem be?

thlnk3r

Krazieaznboi, just out of curiosity but did these problems also start showing up after the installation of SP3 or any Windows updates? I think we've determined hardware is not the issue. Are you able to run a stability test with OCCT/Orthos?

Good luck

i'll run orthos right now.

i wish i didn't RMA my old rams. they ran at 2.6v(stock), stock timing, 1t, and 250mhz. these new rams run at 2.8v(stock), stock timing,1t, and only gets 225mhz....

EDIT: this is weird. if it is an not a hardware issue how come reseating the RAMs help?

also, i cant run orthos at all. I get a BSOD right away

the BSOD when using orthos is 0x1000000a

krazieaznboi

orthos fails and gives me a hardware failure message

thlnk3r

Krazieaznboi, doesn't sound like your machine is stable. Does it crash/lockup at default clocks?

Good luck

im running on default clocks right now.

i think i just found something. it might be my psu. my cpu voltage isnt stable.. its jumps between 1.28v to 1.30v

its odd though. because reseating the RAM also fixes the problem temporarily.

krazieaznboi

awwww geeze.... it is my CPU voltage.

thlnk3r, want to lend me a shoulder to cry on? i just sent away my best set of ram and got a set of crappy ones.. =( its going to be hard to find another set of ddr that can do 250mhz @ CL 2-3-2-5 and stock voltage(2.6v)

thlnk3r

Krazieaznboi, my Vcore will does that as well. Did you set it to 1.35volts? Hopefully it's more stable at that voltage. That might also explain why it was locking up at stock clocks. My BIOS is a bit finicky too. If I set the Vcore to 1.375, all applications including the BIOS will report 1.34 - 1.35 volts

Good luck

krazieaznboi

yea yea yea. mines does that too. it i set it to 1.375, all apps reports 1.34-1.5v.

apparently, it wasn't the vcore, i still get bsods. i guess its time to move on to quad. i already ordered a q6600, gigabyte ep45-ds3r, 2x1gb Patriot ram, zotac 8800gt AMP!, and the corsair 520hx. im just too fed up with this PC. i haven't gamed for nearly 2 months because of this. thats like my whole summer but luckily i go school in JAN.

thank you for helping me all this time thlnk3r
