Thanks for the quick reply, cheers for that !
That would explain why I got these bluescreen
I did tried to put 2 X 2 only on the yellow socket, not as much bluescreen @1066 but some errors on MemTest.
Do you reckon i'd be better off having 4GB instead of 8GB, as from 4GB, for what I do (only videos games...) it shouldn't really make any differences.
Thanks again

Still aiming for 1066 ! But unfortunately, never reached it yet.
I've updated to your modded BIOS p5qpm FINAL
Still errors in memtest within minutes.
I'm only using 2 x 2GB kit, in order to make sure the 4 sticks doest not generate more problems.
NB is @ 1,4 (tried a bit higher)
DRAM @ 2,2 (tried a bit higher)
I've tried :
- FSB strap 333
- set up manually 1066
- set up the timings to 5 -5 - 5 - 15 and then 6 -6 - 6 - 16 like you proposed.
- fiddle around with
Static dram : disabled / enabled
OC charger : enabled / disabled
Perf lvl 8/10
Still these errors. I've tried to swap to another kit I got on a second computer that I've hardly used, same issue.
Do you have any config / parameters ? I don't really know what to do now, even after all I read on the net...

Try the 400 strap and perf levels 11-14. If that doesn't work, try the sticks on a system they are actually compatible with to rule out bad RAM sticks or bad DRAM slots.

Good but a bit of an odd news this morning.
I passed Memtest 86+...
by changing memtest version ?
Was using Memtest86_4.0a and got a lot of errors (cf previous posts)
Whereas now I'm using memtest86+-4.20 and I did not get any errors after 24hours of testing (17 passes).
Is that reliable, why in the world would I get errors with 4.0 and not with 4.20 ?
Cheers for your expertise Ket, happy with my modded BIOS.

Always a good idea using the latest version of memtest, updated routies etc. You'll want to run HCI memtest though, memtest 86+ isn't reliable enough.

Thanks I've started it,
How long shall I leave is ? 24h ?
The "test unused memory" is the good setting ?
Cheers.

The free version of HCI can only test up to 1024MB per instance, so if you are using 8GB RAM you will need to run 8 instances of HCI all at the same time, setting each instance of HCI to test 1024.

Right, I must have go the wrong one, here's what mine looks like. http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/3402/37743624.jpg
Do you have a link for me Tek ? This his what I found, but it tests all your RAM, does not sound like the one you described. (http://hcidesign.com/memtest/)
thanks for your patience.

http://hcidesign.com/memtest/download.html The free version doesn't test all of your RAM at the same time, only up to 1024MB. You can open windows task manager to see that

Good point, I bought the software.
I presume you have to wait till 100% ? Then what ? Do you need to wait a bit more to confirm it is stable ?
Cheers for your help, I really appreciate .
By the way, you told me about the severals instances with the free versions, with the pro one that I've got, there is no need to do that ?

Hello again Kek,
Glad to let you know that I had no errors in your memest HCI, nor with memtest 86+, on top of that, memory @ 1066 5-5-5-15
I tried to increase the FSB to get a little more frequency out of it.
I'm starting slowy, at the moment I'm a 378 x 9 (3,4 ghz) Memory @ 1007.
It is stable on Prime95 24h, OCCT 24h and no errors on memtests as well as video games, so I assume it is good.
The only problem I've got is that I discovered that my computer is not able to restart.
When you restart from windows, the screen stays black, nothing happens.
I need to unplug the lead for 15 seconds to restart my computer normally (still OCed then). Then it is absolutely fine.
Cold boot in morning does work as well.
I went back to FSB 333 and stock settings, I am still experiencing this problem. I've just not realised before.
My PSU is brand new (RMA the other one 2 months ago, was dead), it's a Seasonic X780 GOLD.
The cable lead is new, changed it again though.
Everything is plugged where it should be (CPU... MB... ) it's easy to check for it's a modular.
I really fiddle around in the BIOS on various different settings, i'm a bit lost :
These are the settings I am rock stable with, but the same problem occurs @ stock frequency.

Any ideas ?

If you can't restart its a software issue, either format or run tools like tuneup utilities, pc doc pro 4.3, regcleaner and diskeeper.

Hi Kek, i haven't been clear enough, sorry about this.
In fact that the all computer that would not start (fans on, black screen nothing happens at all). There is no POST from BIOS whatsoever.

Hi kek,
Just a quick edit to tell you that i got rid off the problem by making a proper CMOS reset.
All fine here.

Sorry for reviving old thread, but how to replace memory tables in BIOS? Can somebody, please, add how to? I downloaded latest Maximus II Formula 2302 BIOS from ASUS site, extracted with MMTool 3.26 both ID15 Memory Sizing modules in uncompressed form and I can't add/replace them to P5Q-EM 2203 BIOS. Tried export/replace memory tables from modded P5Q BIOSes, same thing.

Any modded bios for the P5Q3? (Not deluxe)
