Hi, and hope that someone can explain this for me.
I have an old motherboard and cpu.
The motherboard is a gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L
775, with a FSB up to 1333mhz
Radeon HD 6570 in there, not overclocked.
Also had 2 gig of DDR2 800mhz ram. (1x2 sticks of 1 gig ram)
Intel core2duo E4400 @ 2ghz
I had used the bios to up the frequency of the cpu to 250 from 200 (this made the clock run from 2ghz to 2.5 ghz
when i installed 2x2gb ram to go to 4 gigs and rebooted, i had a very slow boot, then a bsod when i loaded a 720p mp4 file.
Used cpu-z and got the timing that the memory read (6-6-6-18) and went into the bios, changed that and got a much faster boot.
Then another BSOD.
These were all different codes, at different points, very arbitraty
Restarted, another BSOD.
All different.
-0X00000070
-0x0000006D
and others.
So, frustrated i went back in and changed the last intiger that cpu-z told me (command rate) to 2T, then started the pc again and ran the prime95 program, got another freeze and not a dump screen, and just rebooted. this was frustrating.
I went in and reset the defaults to the optimal settings, then ran memtest86 for the entirety of the program (no errors on the ram) and rebooted with a stock cpu and things are again rock solid.
What am I doing wrong. I did not change voltages, just the frequency of the cpu, and then those timing numbers for the ram.
The ram was running at 500mhz as opposed to 800mhz when i upped the frequency of the cpu, I read this is what happens, but the ram can usually be rated to at least 1066 so it should be fine.
any ideas?
