Linkinfamous Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Ok. So I picked up a DFI Lanparty UT SLI-DR. Neat looking board. I have a 3200+ Athlon64 (Venice core.), and a gig of OCZ ddr400 dual chanell, gold edition, etc. etc. ram. Picked up a Seagate 160gb SATA HDD, and shoved it all together. The system seems unstable. Both Windows XP and Windows XP x64 crash during installation. If the installer gets far enough (I presume the kernel gets loaded when it says 'Setup is starting windows' before you pick the partition to install onto), It'll BSOD. Otherwise, it just restarts. the BSOD it gives is 0x0000000A, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. The nice thing about this board is the fact that memtest is built into the BIOS, but it doesn't seem to reveal anything. I could let it run longer, in fact, that's what its doing right now, but I am so confused. I tried different RAM and got the same results. Typical.

Novaoblivion Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have the same board and had the same problems. Try this: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...67&postcount=15 If that doesnt help try posting at that site they were very helpful to me. Hope that helps :) Edit: Link to the whole thread it has some more useful info: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1541 Watching Stargate Atlantis right now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensayshun Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 ^Havn't checked the links but you might do well to reinstall your heatsink and thermal paste. I had the exact same problem caused by overheating due to badly installed heatsink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkinfamous Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Watching Stargate Atlantis right now :) 586184251[/snapback] I started from Stargate a few months ago, and have been watching them in order. All 194 episodes + the movie. I just have Moebius and The Seige left to finish. I plan to watch them next week ;) My temps are fine. But I've discovered something interesting. The machine runs perfectly fine in single channel mode. Dual channel mode, even with known good RAM, causes errors. Since the memory controller is on the processor, could the processor be bad? Edit, Actually, just read line one. Well, tried to anyone, of that link: 1. Those that cannot get but one stick going and it in slot #2 which is the first Orange slot in the from edge of board and where a single stick should be. Poor grammar, but it seems to relate to my problem :D. I'll read the rest and inform you of what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaoblivion Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) Yeah I started watching Stargate and Atlantis a few months ago and keep watching the reruns on my satalite to catch up lol. I dont think they say it in that thread but after you have changed the bios settings and get it working you may need to reinstall Windows. I still had some random problems afterwards untill I reinstalled Windows. I had some problems with the bios my board came with too so you may need to flash it to a newer version. Hope you get it working :) Edited July 8, 2005 by Novaoblivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkinfamous Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Ok. By bumping the DDR Voltage to 3.2, I managed to get it stable. I'm pretty sure 3.2 is what I was SUPPOSED to be running it at :blush: I checked the RAM twice, the sticker doesn't mention voltage, nor is it anywhere on the package.

Linkinfamous Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 do you have OCZ gold VX? if not PUT THE VOLTAGE BACK DOWN before you kill something. 586212977[/snapback] Yes, its the gold VX. :) I still don't see any mention of the proper voltage on the package or the heatsink though.

+dave164 Subscriber¹ Posted July 15, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yes, its the gold VX. :) I still don't see any mention of the proper voltage on the package or the heatsink though. 586217250[/snapback] The PC3200 requires 3.2v at 2-2-2-6 and the PC4000 needs 3.3v at 2-2-2-8 i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same problem, ram was faulty got it rmaed and got new ram sent from california to the uk in two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkinfamous Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 yep thats the one that I was told was in the show 586221208[/snapback] I'm relatively certain that she played a member of the Atlantean Council. Stargate Atlantis. She was the holographic message lady in 'Rising', and was a council member in 'Before I Sleep' Heres a picture of the hologram. Either thats her, Or I need a new monitor. :) (Probably both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
