Hi,
Got the gigabyte motherboard listed below, along with 4gb of ram from OCUK
Ga-p35c-ds3r rev. 1.1
OCUK (m-ram/ elixir sourced own brand) PC8500 1066MHz CAS 5-5-5-15 ddr2
The motherboard only allows 800mhz ram speed native, so I am technically trying to overclock to allow 1066 ram to work to proper speed, i suppose. I have 4x 1gb sticks and I am using a core 2 duo e6850 processor at the stock speed 333fsb, 9x multiplier, everything set to auto/ normal in bios (version f2).
The computer runs fine with the 4gb at vanilla 800 ram speed (1.9v ram), and even works fine with 2gb at 1066 (1.9v ram). The problem I am having is that the computer will not boot past the windows vista start up screen (gets stuck at this point) with the bios set so that I am running 1066 ram speed with 4gb of ram. In order for the system to work (and be stable) I have to set it to 1000 and leave it at that (2.1v ram). This is ok as far as I am concerned but it would be nice to get the ram up to spec if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help?
Advice appreciated,
Chris
