ABIT NF7-M & random reboots

[dlittlebear]

Yes default settings, save for the 2 power changes.

stick 1, 512mb
42 errors, 56.7mb address, test 4 [moving inv, 32 bit pattern, cached]

stick 2, 128mb
16 errors, 90.0mb address, test 4 [moving inv, 32 bit pattern, cached]
1 errors, 51.8mb address, test 6 [modulo 20, ones & zeros, cached]

stick 3, 512mb
0 errors

 

[dlittlebear]

did that, still got the same reboot probs.

 

[dlittlebear]

I had just registered there myself to pose this question also.

 

[dlittlebear]

the 1 stick of RAM I thought was good, was not. ran the test on it again and it errors out like the other 2.

 

[dlittlebear]

well with the 1 stick alone, that I thought was good, I get reboots alot. So I put the other 2 back in and it seems semi-stable again. as of this post it has been running for 2 days strait with me playing games like everquest, and UT2k3 on it.


ordered a 420PSU this morning, when it comes in I am going to do some more testing, after that I have asked a friend if I could borrow a stick of his RAM to do even more testing.

 

[dlittlebear]

also ment to say going to test my ram in his PC to see if it is truly bad or if the mainboard is just bad.

 

[dlittlebear]

new PSU in, doing some testing here is the prelim data I have finished collecting on 1 stick of ram. the info I have makes me think it is not the ram but the Mainboard due to the way the errors occure. If bad ram I would imigin that the errors would be more consistant. If I am wrong please let me know.

doing 2 more runs in DDR 2 then upping the DDR voltage like you had said before up a notch and running again.

 

[dlittlebear]

here is the completed results with differing power settings. From this I can only assume the board has some really messed up power probs.

I ran 3 tests of each, after each full test I escaped memtest86 and it rebooted the PC. Also 128mb of the 512mb stick was allocated for the onboard video.

aye I noticed that, that is why I was thinking that this board has some power problems. I would get more RAM but this set cost me about 168$ and ram prices are a little higher atm so would rather just see about fixing this =)

Why would crutial be different than micron, they are the same company? Moreso crutial is a division of micron. So I would think the ram would be the same.

Dont know what the CAS is, anyway to find out?

 

[dlittlebear]

I have it left on the 2.9v setting atm. I have UT2k3 running on it, before after like 30min it would reboot, it stayed up throughout the night.
