Configure Bios and Errors

[jojo68]

I have been trying to get this PC together for over a month now and all I been with is problems one after another.



When I first tried to install windows , I was coming up with "Pool Errors". I contacted the ram support (GSkill) and finally windows installed on slots 2 and 4 of the Mobo ,(vista would not install on in slots 1 and 3.
But when windows booted-up I was getting "Blue Screen Dump Errors". I ran memtest86 on the ram and came up with many errors.. When I tried to change setting according to the GSkill support, It would boot to vista and then the blue screen dump. Finally I got the blue screen errors to stop using by another gskill forum members "suggested settings".

Right now I am getting Blue Screen"Memory Management Errors" When I try to install some programs and update my drivers etc.
Yesterday I ran memtest86 on all 4 sticks for about 3 hrs. and then on each seperate stick in its own slot..with no errors
These are the PROBLEMS:

1 As soon as I go into my system config in vista to disable my start-up programs , up comes the Memory Manage Errors" and the blue screen shutdown ( I can only edit this in safe mode)

So far I tried to update my audo drivers,( Real-Tech , which came on the MoBo),Adobe Flash ,scanner drivers ,bios updates, lan updates. These won't install and Memory and still the memory management errors
Anything I try to download to check my drivers fail.

Things I could Install:

Printer and drivers(which I now uninstalled the drivers and have disconnected)
Programs downloaded from the internet, and programs like word, quicken etc.
Nvida Drivers and all my windows updates except for the realtech audio drivers

My device manager shows no errors on any of the drivers.

I was building this PC for my grandson for his games, but it has became a problem

I listed my present bios settings and specs below. These were all entered after I entered and saved my "Optimized Defaults"

Can I please get some help on solving this with my bios settings and the errors I am getting
I really don't care about overclocking right now, just to get it up and running without errors!!

With 8GB of memory you are going to need to change a few things. First set Performance Enhance to Standard (not in your listed settings, which is why I suggested first)

Then change, for now, tRD (Static tRead value) to 9-10. Set tRFC to 82 for now as well

Then try less MCH 1.4 is A LOT and not likely needed, try 1.26-1.32

All of the memory management errors I think came from my antivirus, firewall .

As soon as they were removed, everything worked fine and no errors....

I reinstalled a different antivirus

[Lsdmeasap]

Ahh, well still you should change a few things for 8GB, as suggested above.

But if you want to leave it and you are error free then that is fine, I just would not personally so I could not move on without making those suggestions again.

What AV was it anyway, so others can know later on if they have issues and find this thread.

Hi
I took suggestions from other members on your forum. I am only using 4gb memory and sent the other 4gb back to newegg for a refund..

Thanks
