hello all.. :) *waves*
xs noobie here..I'm not really sure if this is the correct forum, but it seemed the most appropriate.
i just recently bought one of the IP35-Pro boards last week, along with an entirely new system, that seems to be running fine; cept for one major problem.. I'm not really sure if it is the motherboard, but it's either that or the RAM (i'm leaning towards the former)
my specs are:
CPU: e6750 running 3.84ghz (480x8) @ 1.475v
Motherboard: aBit IP35-pro (the newer BIOS, 11 i think it was)
Optical Drives: pioneer 212D
Hard Drives: WD 320gb
Power Supply: corsair HX-620w
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB DDR2-1066
Video Card: ASUS 8600GT 256MB
Cooling setup: Tuniq 120 on the CPU, with the 2 rear fans that came with my P182.
OS: WinXP Pro w/sp2 + updated to May 07
i've run orthos for 6 hours on the CPU stress test, and it was fine, however, if I run the RAM test.. it will take no more than 10 seconds for the to error. Even if i reduce the dividers to 1:1 (960mhz.. lower than stock!) it'll run for about 3 minutes before it errors up...
Even with the default divider of 1:1.2 (1152mhz), i tried boosting the dimm voltage to 2.25v, and that still didn't help it erroring...
i tried to use only one stick (single channel mode), and try all the dimm slots, in case it was a faulty slot.. however they all managed to get to 4minutes on the orthos ram test (i know it's not alot, but that was on default clock of 1152mhz already)
i know i should run memtest, but before I do i'm just kind of baffled as to pinpointing what would be the cause of this?
thanks in advance, and apologies if i didn't provide enough information; just ask!
