I just got this board for Christmas and have been setting everything up. So far I've had a couple of headaches, but one is really irritating me.
I have my E2180 running stock (2GHZ) at 1.325v, and my memory is strapped 1:2.00 to run at DDR2-800 (stock) speeds. I am continually failing Prime95--one thread--after about an hour. I flashed 12.B06, and it hasn't seemed to have helped.
Since I am having problems with Prime95, I decided to go ahead and do some memtest86+ testing. I ran both sticks of ram with memtest86+ for four passes and no errors were found. Later, I ran the test again and found 1 error on a third pass, so I ran each stick individually in the same slot (slot 1), and they each passed four passes. All of this was done on the shipped BIOS, and I have not run memtest86+ yet with 12.B06.
My question is: since each stick of RAM passed individually, is it some sort of memory controller issue or what? Also, I know some people run memtest86+ all night or whatever, but I figure in four passes you have what you have, is this wrong?
My memory: Patriot 2 x 2GB PDC24G6400ELK. I have set all of the timings manually (5-5-5-12 [stock]), and have the voltage set to 2.0v--at which they are rated.
I am running a fresh install of XP Pro 32-bit, my CPU temps are around 30-32*C, and I have C1E and EIST disabled. I am testing with Super PI right now, so far so good.
The rest of my rig in sig. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
