I have recently built my computer which is Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L and 2 GB of Crucial Ballistix memory (2 x 1 GB). Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
I didn't overclock or change any setting in BIOS. I left them all at default, I saw that in BIOS default, it is set as 5-5-5-23 timing (instead of 5-5-5-15 of RAM manufacture default), and the RAM voltage is around ~ 2.0 - 2.1 Volt. (While the RAM manufacture voltage is 2.2 V).
Right after install Windows and boot up, I experienced a lot of BSOD which is related to memory error, later, I replaced them with a pair of G.Skill memory and the BSOD problem go away.
Is the RAM defective? Or I have to manually set the BIOS to make it work?
One more thing, I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. My hard drive is SATA Seagate 750 GB. I have enabled AHCI and Native mode in BIOS, do I need to do anything else to make my hard drive work in SATA mode perfectly?
Thanks
