Need help setting up bios
GA-P45T-DS3R Rev 1.0 - Bios F3 Intel Core2Quad 9400 2.66 MHz Zalman cnps9700 XFX geforce 9800gt 2 x 2GB Crucial Ballistix ddr3 1333 (6-6-6-20 listed on sticks ) Antec True Power Trio 550 W WD esata 1T I have been reading various posts to try to set up my bios simply for stability at present, not even trying to oc I am at the point of getting only one failure in memtest, but for some strange reason, I am trying for no errors. Here in brief is my bios M I T Robust - Auto CPU clock ratio - 7.0 Fine CPU clock - 0 CPU Frequency - 2.33 GHz ( 7 x 333 ) Clock Chip Control No change from default Advanced Clock Control CPU Clock Drive 800 mV PCI Express 900 mV CPU Clock Skew 0ps MCH Clock Skew 0ps DRAM Performance Performance - Standard (G)MCH Freq Latch - 333 MHz Syst Mem Mult - 4.00B Mem Freq - 1333 [1333] DRAM Timing - Manual Std Timing Control CAS Latch - 9 [9] tRCD - 9 [9] tRP - 9 [9] tRAS - 9 [9] Adv Timing Control tRDD - 4 [Auto] tWTR - 5 [Auto] tWR - 10 [Auto] tRFC - 74 [Auto] tRTP - 5 [Auto] Cmd - 0 [Auto] everything else is at default or I can get specific info if needed. So before I even try to oc I need to get this puppy to run stable and close to spec Are there any suggestions on what my next step should be? Thanks, Dan

Re: Need help setting up bios
I would suggest you reset the comos then load optimized defaults. After loading optimized defaults you should save and exit, then enter the BIOS again. Then set your drives to either IDE, ACHI or Raid and any other changes you want to make. Reboot into Vista. One error in memtest is probably nothing to worry about at this point. But thats jut my opin.

Re: Need help setting up bios
Thanks for the suggestion.
I actually reloaded the fail safe bios. When I did that the DRAM Performance Enhance defaulted to Turbo and when I ran memtest the screen turned red with continuous errors, failing in test 5. I then went back into the bios and the only changes I made were to lower the CPU ratio from 8x to 7x, lowered Performance enhance from turbo to standard, kept (G)MCH at 333 MHz with the system memory multiplier at 4.00B, (giving the memory frequency 1333 MHz), DRAM timing to manual and left Cas 9 [Auto], tRCD 9 [Auto], tRP 9 [Auto], tRAS 9 [Auto], and left all the voltages at the defaults from fail safe. Now when I run memtest I get no errors ( with only one pass so far ) BUT with the 7 x multiplier I'm only getting 2.33 GHz from my 2.66 GHz CPU ( Q9400 ) I would sure like to at least get the "advertised" speed of 2.66 GHZ. Any ideas on what I should do next?? D

Re: Need help setting up bios
Can you post your current bios settings? There is a template somewhere on here just search for your motherboard specs and template...

Re: Need help setting up bios
I don't know much about the Q9400 stock settings so please fill out this template with optimized defaults loaded. Also If your running sata drives and want to run them in AHCI you would have had to select AHCI in the bios when installing the OS. Not that running in IDE mode is bad.
Also include more detailed information on your memory such as stock timings and voltage. Code:

Re: Need help setting up bios
I will show the differences in my Optimized Settings in Red
The Crucial Ballistix DDR3 are a 4 GB Kit each 2 GB DDR3 PC3-10600 CL6, 1.8V and each is marked 6-6-6-20 1.8V The only cmos settings so far that is stable is the one I show in the photos I took of the cmos. That is, I've been running two days ( LOL ) without a bsod Quote:

Re: Need help setting up bios
From my brief viewing of your template I see there are alot of settings on auto. Also, note that your RAM needs 1.8V to be able to perform at 1333 with 6-6-6-20, you have it on auto which will default to 1.5V. Below I've included an amended template for you to try. Don't worry just yet if it fails, it can be tweaked.
Code:

Re: Need help setting up bios
Mine is pretty much like psycho101 suggestions. One thing I did notice is that your ram (if I guessed right on the model) is not supported by your motherboard. In fact it doesn't list any Crucial ram. Does that matter? Not sure.
