I have an AMD 64 3000+ with a MS-6702 mobo, 2 512MB chips of Mushkin
Blue RAM, 480w power supply, SATA WD HD, and a Lite On DVD burner.
I've had it for almost 2 months and it will not remain stable. My RAM
settings are 2-3-3-11 with 2.5 volts. I've tried all sorts of
different settings and nothing seems to work. My current setting has
the CPU FSB down to 190 from 200. The Core Center program that came
with the board shows the CPU going above the 2000 range from time to
time and I thought maybe it was outperforming the RAM speeds so I
limited it to 190 and set the RAM to max at 200 (400 DDR). It works
fine for days and sometimes weeks, then all of a sudden it starts
freezing. Then if I reboot it continues to freeze until I make some
RAM setting change in the BIOS or power down completely first. It'll
freeze anywhere from POST to BIOS to Windows. It's gotta be hardware
related. What gives? Thanks!
