Hey i have the Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066 2x2GB Kit and a Gigabyte EP45 UD3P mobo and i'm having some frustrating issues. The ram defaults to 2.1v and 5-5-5-15 and was that way for weeks, but then i attempted to overclock it and it failed to boot a few times.
Now the memory will only run at 5-7-7-24, much slower than it's suppose to. When i go into my bios and attempt to set it back to 5-5-5-15 with 2.1v like it should be able to, it won't boot. Sometimes it'll start to post and hang, one time it got to windows and BSOD, other times not even as far as post.
I've tried reseting my bios (taking battery out and back in)
reinstalling my old bios (i had updated from f8f to f8 when i tried overclocking)
and letting it just sit for a few hours and trying again
nothing works.
have i damaged my ram? am i stuck with it at this slower timing and instability?
