first off, Sorry if this isn't the right forum, or if these kind of questions should even be posted on this site. But i'm hoping you dudes and dudets can help me out.

You Tube

Go watch that, and look at the description for my info and what I have tried.

Ignore my build at the bottom of the page, that is not entierely correct anymore. (update it, i know) The proper and current build is in the description on youtube..... well, Just the essentials anyways.

anywho, after you're done reading all that mumbo-jumbo and watching the YT video AND reading the description, Read on.

I have now also tried:

Prime95 V25.11

Ran ith 6 workers, on blend mode.

Results:

Apparently, at the end of the testing peiod, 2 of 6 workers had failed.

And that really didnt tell me much. Can you make something of it?????

Memtest86:

(see video)

Odly enough though, when I ran the test in V4.0, i had 1.03 Million Errors, but when i ran the test in V3.5B, i had no errors, and the test completed succesfully. But in v3.5 it only stayed on core 0, not the other 5. Will test on other cores soon.

Tried MANY different combinations of ram, video cards, and hard drives to try and provide different test results, but all were the same. A million errors on V4, and a clean sweep on v 3.5b. ***? Anybody got any Ideas as to why this may be?

Western Digital Data lifeguard Diagnostics:
Currently running appx. 22 minutes left. No errors yet?

Im currently on XP 32 bit here, although I have tried all the things I said in the description of the video on windows 7 64 bit and Xp 32 bit as well.

I am Mc. stumpped. Don't know what to do now. Surprisingly, It hasnt crashed yet as of me writing this, but i expect it soon. Any help is greatly Appreciated. Thanks - Sarix.

Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his Memtest errors?
IT'S OVER 9,000!

Anyways, have you tried a different motherboard or putting the RAM in different slots? Could be an issue with one/some of the dimm slots.

Haha, thanks for the comedy. It helps after something like this happened. I have not been able to try a different motherboard, except with the Hard drive. I have tried every signle slot with every single piece of drr3 ram I have.

Make sure you have the correct voltage for the RAM. if its older ram like mine, I actually need 1.9v.

Also increase the voltage slightly for the CPU/NB

Can we get a CPU-Z link?

 

[KillingTheSilence]

Make sure your RAM is running at the right timings/speed/voltages. Leaving it at auto won't always use the right settings.
If everything is as it should be, then the issue is likely with the motherboard or maybe the CPU.

 

[ffejrxx]

i had very similar problems with my htpc, used ram that had worked fine for over a year in another build, put it in there and had all kinds of errors, bsod/freeze/crash ect..

set the timings and voltage to 1.7 and all of the problems went away
look up your ram and see what its supposed to be set to

 

[sarix0]

I have ensured all Memory timings, speeds,and volatges are set properly, and that thy are supported by my motherboard. Even called ASUS to verify.

Here is my CPU-Z info: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1768447

I have new news as well. When i run memtest86 with both v4.0 and 3.5B I still get a ton of errors when it reaches CPU 3. Does this mean thats it's not my ram, but my CPU?

Please let me know, thanks! -Sarix

 

[sarix0]

Also, The memory type has been changed as well as the video cards since the description in the video. This was just to test if it was the video cards/ram, of course.

 

[ffejrxx]

do you have a kingston dimm and a patriot dimm?

try with one at a time to see if one is bad

Yes, I have tried that already, again with no success. Based on what I've written down so far, do you think it could my cpu?

 

[ffejrxx]

can you post a screenshot of your bios fsb/voltage and ram timings pages

 

[sarix0]

*UPDATE* I have sent the cpu and motherboard in for testing and RMA if necessary. Hopefully this will solve the problem. I am mostly suspecting my cpu, do to the crashes on core 3. Anybody else have any suggestions if the problem persists?
