Here is my system:
Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Asus P5W-DH Deluxe mobo
EVGA 8800GTX GPU
Core 2 Duo Conroe 2.4
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
Just upgraded from 2GB of patriot memory to 4GB of Corsair. The Corsair I bought is:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145194
I went into BIOS upon installing (took the patriot memory out completely).
I set the SPD to 4-4-4-12-4. Gave it a shot and everything worked nicely. Slower boot but I figured thats because I had my CPU OC from 2.4 to 3.3 before with patriot. From what I can tell, the settings I have the RAM at are what is recc by Corsair.
Now, if I even try to take the CPU past 2.9 the machine is incredibly unstable. Didnt have any issues OC with the patriot. In fact, I even got the CPU to 3.6 but didnt like the temp so I kicked it back. CPU voltage is at 1.475 (Max is 1.5) and memory voltage is at 2.1. When I do OC I take it slow and try to maintain the RAM around 800MHz. With Patriot I was able to get it to around 900MHz, so a little OC but I took it back to 800.
Issues I have had:
-Sometimes the vista loading bar will just go on forever.
-Sometimes I get BSOD immediately upon entering windows. Last one was a BAD_POOL_HEADER error.
-Sometimes I get into windows and everything is just drastically slower.
Maybe I am just missing something? Please assist and thank you.
