    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit freezing up and other problems...

    Oh and I've disabled the Receive Side Scaling on the NICs too that was also causing Windows to freeze up.

    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit freezing up and other problems...

    Hello guys, I cannot accurately diagnose this problem so I thought I'd post it in the OS forum as all my problems started when I moved to Windows 7. Let's see if you guys can help me again :D. I've had numerous problem along the road with Windows 7 since I installed it and have never got to...

    Btw as a happy ending to this problem I have got my PC built up again using the new Striker Extreme I was sent by OcUK and it's solid as a rock, not a single hang, crash or blue screen. I'm only using crappy standard 512GB RAM nabbed from a machine in work, as my Corsair stuff is still in...

    I used to buy Crucial RAM, always been nice and solid for me and I've never really been one for overclocking that far but I thought with this machine I'd go for the top end stuff and everyone raves about Corsair. What's the appeal of OCZ? I see a lot of people using their RAM these days.

    Ha ha ha, excellent, trust me to pick Corsair :rolleyes: . I still I think it was that bad RAM stick that killed my mobo.

    Right, my RAM used to default to 1T when set to AUTO too. I shall bear that in mind with the sli memory. Btw, I contacted RAM GUY on the official Corsair forums, owned up to what I had done but stressed that I it was underclocked and he just said to obtain and RMA number and they'd replace...

    I think it was bad RAM, I just tried testing the RAM on a workstation at work and fried the RAM slot. If one of the sticks of RAM was faulty and ruined the RAM slots on this machine then it might have been responsible for damaging the RAM slots on my Striker. The thing is that when I first...

    I ednded up sending my mobo back to the supplier for testing and I have accidentally ended up burning two pins off one of my DIMMS testing it in another machine so the saga continues. Am I incompetent or just unlucky?

    Striker Extreme Voltage Advice

    I've checked all the connectors a few times as I've had problems like that in the past, everything is in as tightly as I dare to push. I'll keep an eye on that PSU though as Dan already said that the 3.3V, 5V and 12V voltages seemed low. That said though I don't think it would explain why...

    Scratch that, I'm getting some odd results. Using slot B1 stick 1 gets 250000 errors on test 5, but now stick 2 gets 600+ errors on test 8. Another interesting point seems to be that I can't seem to get it to boot using slots A1 or A2 anymore. That probably explains why it only sees 1GB...

    For arguments sake let's call them stick 1 and stick 2. Stick 1 errored in slot B2 with the error detailed above, I just left stick 2 doing the same full set of tests for 3 hours and had 14 successful passes. I think it's fair to say one of those sticks of RAM is to blame. Hopefully...

    With one of the sticks of RAM I seem to get errors on test 5 of MemTest86+ 'Block move, 64 moves'. Not always in the same place but the entry under the 'Err-bits' column is almost always '000000ff'. I've just started the next stick and it's had two complete passes through test 5 with no...

    Striker Extreme Voltage Advice

    Yes I have and sometimes it works fine and other times I get LOTS of errors. Once I've had my RAM settings right the RAM seems to test fine but I shall do some more conclusive testing and come back to you. If I just test one stick at a time which slot do you suggest I use it in? Or should...

    This is the weirdest problem I've ever faced. Now it'll boot up in to windows but only recognises 1 of the 2 gig sticks of RAM regardless of which slots I put them in!? BIOS reports only 1GB and Windows reports only 1GB.

    The Galaxy 850W has an 8-pin connector and the 2 4-pin connectors which can be used as an 8pin too, there is a slight difference in that one of the pins on the 8-pin plug is square not rounded (which it is if the put the two 4-pin plugs together) which matches with the socket on the mobo so I...
