Hello Everyone!
I am quite baffled at this build for my buddy. Maybe you guys can help me out..
So here is the build:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban
RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Motherboard: MSI 890GXM-G65 AM3 AMD 890GX
PSU: OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS 500W
I put it together, ran Memtest .. got to 50% on the first test and restarted. Did it a couple more times with the same result, though it was probably the RAM and RMA'd it. New RAM came in a week later, installed it and achieved the same result from memtest86+. Thought it was the motherboard, so without time to RMA it (my buddy is now breathing down my back for it), I purchased a NEW motherboard:
New Motherboard: ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890GX
Put everything back together, booted up, ran Memtest86+ again, and the system rebooted itself at 50% on the first test. Aggravated, I decided to test each stick individually. To my surprise, each stick ran fine if it were run by itself. I tried putting both RAM in dual channel mode and single channel mode. I get the same result either way.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
