Athlon 64 locking up.

[randalldaigle]

Hey my system seems to lock on my every now and then and I'm having trouble with the diagnosis. At first I thought it was the vid card temp as I was locking during benchmarks(mainly 3Dmark03 and 01 SE), but I got a couple locks just after boot and using Explorer. Ideas??

Thanks

Trying to figure out what it all does.

- Edit: Install the memory modules based on manual suggestion.

- Set "DRAM voltage adjust" (in BIOS) to say 2.75V.

- Not sure if it's the case here but may have to set tRCD (in BIOS) to 3 if it's currently at 2.

Done and done. That mistake was made already. I just got a BIOS update and it seems to have stabilized, we'll see over the next few days though. The BIOS seems to have lowered my aquamark by 2000 roughly. Is this a ussual possibility??

- Refer to the manual on the memory slot config. May have made an error there.

- And BIOS update can have a big effect on the system and how it operates.

Oh well the stability is more important I guess anyway.

Have you ran a memtest?
