IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

[COD42008]

Hi
I recently purchased a computer for gaming, here are the spec's..



I have had a bout 10 Blue Screens of Death in the past 2 weeks sometimes idle, but mainly during a game such as Call Of Duty 4 etc.
I have ran a Memtest 2 times for about 1-2hours each and both came up with 1 error saying.
"Memory error detected! Copying between xxxxxxx and xxxxxxx did not result in accurate copy. MemTest has detected that your computer cannot accurately store data in RAM"
I have also ran the CPUZ to post screenshots for you guys to see incase it holds some vital information that could help me not have to go through the effort of getting replacement RAM. I have read that the Motherboards may effect the RAM voltage and might have to be changed manually to fix them.

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Err I just noticed in the screenshots on the SPD that one of the RAM things are a bit different? ie 266,400,400 with 5.0, 5, 5, 18, 23, then on the second the thing is 266,333,400, with 4.0 5, 5, 15, 20.

Is that the problem? if so how would I fix it.

Update # 2

I switched my 2 sticks from DIMM slots 1 and 3 to 2 and 4, the DRAM frequency in timings on the CPU-Z program went from 408Mhz to 319.2Mhz. I am currently running MemTest and it's at 26% coverage so far without any errors, the 2 other tests I did in Slot 1/3 error'd at 6% then at 16% or so.

Would the RAM have been slightly unstable at DRAM frequency at 408Mhz in the 1/3 slots? my motherboard supports 800Mhz DDR2, does 408Mhz frequency mean 816mhz meaning it was a bit over my motherboards cap?

I assume if 408x4 since DDR2 would mean 1632mhz?

Oh my god I have no idea what I am talking about, someone help lol...how come the DRAM frequency changed to 319.2Mhz from 408Mhz from just swapping slots to 2/4? I'd lol hard if I actually did fix it by doing this.

Update # 3

The Memtest with the RAM in DIMM slots 2/4 has been running for 12.5 hours so far at 260% coverage. Yet it still shows the DRAM frequency as being 319.2mhz as opposed to 408mhz when the RAM was on DIMM slots 1/3.

Could it be that one or both of my DIMM slots 1/3 are broken or "stock over-tuned"

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Ok I tested for 20 hours total at 401% coverage with 0 errors...I decided to stop the test there. The DRAM frequency is back at 408mhz now by the way.

I have yet to have a BSOD memdump since putting the ram in slots 2/4 but still can anyone shed some light on this.

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Sorry, but I do not know your BIOS. But you should manually set your ram timings and ram voltage to what you see on the ram sticker. And add a bit of MCH or NB voltage for 2x2.

The above SPD values are just "Stock" for DDR2 ram, may or may not be what your ram needs to run stable. Can you post a link to your ram, and some images of your BIOS overclocking page and I will try to help

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Hey thanks for the reply

I don't know where to find my BIOS overclocking page sorry lol, by the way I still have yet to have a BSOD memdump!

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Go in your BIOS and look around, you will find it. It would be the page that has voltage and CPU Settings and all that type of stuff in it

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

I put it at 2.1v with 4-4-4-12 timings and the computer didn't wanna get past loading screen and just kept reseting itself...It even kept freezing at the BIOS screen.

I took the RAM out of slots 2/4 and put it back into 1/3 and it let me change the options back to default on the BIOS.

**** myself :X

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

This is the Mini-Dump file for the latest BSOD since I cannot open it properly.

Mini110908-01.dmp - FileFront.com - I was playing COD4 online and suddenly the game froze for 3 or so seconds then the BSOD memory dump appeared and the computer reset.

I really don't want to cause a fuss a bout getting the RAM replaced so hopefully it's just another program or driver or something besides faulty RAM.

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

I just got another BSOD during Call of Duty 4 and I managed to get a look at the first line and it was...

"DRIVER_EQUAL_OR_NOT_LESS EQUAL" or something....does that mean it's a driver causing it?

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Drivers or Ram settings normally

It is likely your settings. With 2x2GB of ram you need to set several things, MCH or NB voltage must be added, trfc must be set to 52-62 and ram voltage must be set.

If this counts I did memory test both of the RAM sticks on their own. The first stick passed with flying colours. The 2nd stick stalled and finally froze. (It seemed to freeze around the same point it did when I was testing both RAM together at the same time)


I am just going to go and buy completely new RAM brand, choices are...

4GB kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800mhz --- OCZ Platinum << = $115 AUD

4GB kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800mhz --- Kingston-HyperX << = $103 AUD

Which suit the IP35-E motherboard best? I notice the RAM timings and voltages are different from the PNY compared to the OCZ Platinum...can the IP35-E support these 2 brands without having to modify the BIOS?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->




Again how would I get you a screenshot of my bios? I'm stuck? should I just go buy 4GB of a different brand and chuck that in?



P.S I got another BSOD this time instead of that DRIVER_ one I got one saying "MEMORY MANAGEMENT"

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Btw

PNY Technologies Europe manufactures and provides computer memory upgrades

Is the only link I can find that gives info about my PNY ram....looking at the screenshots on the first page...Isn't the RAM set-up properly? I think I read somewhere that PNY 2x2GB RAM is supposed to run at 1.8v as it says on my CPUz and the timings look right?

ps I ****ing hate computers.

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

I would get the OCZ, you should be fine with that. Ya, it does sound like that "Stick Two" is bad, you will have to RMA the set

To post images of your BIOS you will have to take them with a camera and then upload And post it here.

Ya, your ram may be SPD programmed for 555-18 at 1.8V, but it may also have other settings allowed. Did you not buy it online? I just wanted to check the warrantied voltage amount incase you needed to maybe be using 1.9-2.0 or something. I would need the exact model # off your ram sticker if you did not buy it online so I can look it up

You will need to set somethings manually still no matter what 4gb set you get, NB ro MCH voltages, ram voltages and possibly at least trfc (Refresh To Act Delay)
