I have a ECS (elite group) KN extreme, an AMD 64 3200+ and a gig of ram.....
I found that my computer was crashing every 17 hours and I was getting BSOD messages
sayin that either a driver or memory was bad, I updated every posible driver and
checked my memory with memtest 86, to my dismay nothing was conclusive, IT was also
annoying that every time I tryed to open UT2003 or UT2004 or most other video games
my computer locked up and the only solution was to reset it, then I red that my memory
(2 512 sticks of corsair value ram) worked better if the voltage was slightly raised......
then I also read about ram timings,
this error was caused by ram timings, while that ram was still good apperntly when
I had messed around with settings earlyer, by switching ram related stuff to manuel
it changed the timmings with out me knowing about it,
so I changed the voltage from defult to 1.71 (the closest i could get to 1.7) volts
and then changed the ram timings to auto (I mean like the precash timing and other
stuff like it, here is an example of ram timing "3-3-3-8"
and as if magicly my pc worked perfect, never had a random crash sence, now UT and
other games work, I would sugesst finding your correct ram timing or use auto if
you have it and if you have corsair memory raising the voltage to 1.7,
I hope this helps, this thread helped me solve my problem and their was no specific
info for my situation, so I figured I would make some........:)
