ok.. in the last 24 hours i have had a post on hte OS board, the memory board and i believe the AMD board and i have narrowed the problem down to.... RAM
I was getting errors, memory errors, and missing file errors with a clean install of winxp aftter upgrading to a x2 4400+
the temp solution to my problem was to throw in some old 333 RAM and everything was solid, got a good install, got updates and NO reboots like it was doing with my otehr memory
I also took all memory out and put in my primary memory (corsair XMS twinx1024-3200xl)
that i was having problems with, 1 stick at a time and everything seemed fine after 10 minutes of running windows. I repeated this with both sticks and was fine.
I then combined them and BOOM same problem about a minute after boot it would just reboot(random reboots) so.. i had a memtes run and the memory checked out.. so I bough (I had credit) two new sticks of memory and have just installed them and the new memory is rock solid
i have no idea what would cause this.. I have looked at all my bios settings and see nothing out of hte ordinary and everything seems right. I am about to install my corsair with the new memory to see what happens with a bootup
Here is the system in question and i would really like to get this resolved
gigabyte ga-k8u-939 bios revision f3 the most current that i seen
amd x2 4400+
corsair twinx1024-3200xl dual channel DDR400 2-2-2-5
and the new memory i just got is 3-3-3-8 @201 mhz
it HAS to be somehting in hte bios or setings that i am missing but i have went over it for like 15 hours now.. can't wait to hear from you guys on this one!
