Memory Timings Problem

courage659 · 10-12-2007, 12:16 PM

Recently I've only just noticed on my BIOS screen that my memory was running at 5-5-5-31 2T rather than 5-5-5-15 1T which it was on by default a few weeks earlier. I thought this to be rather strange so I changed the last timing to 15. Unfortunately I end up with a lot of BSODs with this setting (PAGE_FAULT).

Is the memory damaged? Or am I doing something wrong?

dont set it to 1T you must set it to 2T is the voltage for the memory at 2.2 volt ?????

Oh right, seemed to work on 1T before... oh well. No, the default voltage is 1.8V and I've left it there...

best to check the specs for the model number of your ram, most of them are suppose to be set at 2.1 or 2.2 volt ?????

I "think" only 2 x 512mb sticks will run at 1T / 2 x 1 gig sticks will want to run at 2T
