Bios settings Help Needed.
I am having problems getting the ram to pass memtest. The ram came back yesterday from Crucial RMA. Here's a post I posted elsewhere to save me rewriting,
Any help about these here parts I think I've had my head in this Bios to long & am missing something obvious, Please point it out to me & have a laugh as a reward. I put this system together from 2nd hand parts last week & need some experienced eyes to look over my settings as although the system runs 3D 06 perfectly it locks up whenever I run memtest. With the settings below the system runs memtest Perfectly using some Corsair that I have but no matter what I try I cannot get it to complete memtest using my Crucial. The Crucial is RMA got back Saturday after the last set failed memtest, Is it me or the ram ? I have upped the Volts by 0.40 with the Crucial taking it to 2.21v to try to help but still it locks up within 5 seconds of starting memtest. Being honest building this system has pushed me but I have had my head stuck in & out of the Bios so much recently that I think I am missing something obvious. Any help/advice would be Greatly appreciated, thanks for reading. JSB. Xeon 3210 2.13GHz with AC Freezer 64 running @ 2.66GHz @ Below 60c under load Gigabyte-P35-DQ6 Mobo.
