Hi all,
I have been having issues with my new PC for a few months and have been slowly ( as time permits ) eliminating hardware pieces as the problem.
The issue is:
While gaming at random intervals the PC will freeze with a low buzzing noise being emitted from the speakers, the keyboard is unresponsive and the system requires a hard boot to become responsive again.
The memory question:
I was using memtest86 (iso version) to test my memory (4 sticks of 2gb/1333 Corsair XMS3 ) typically memtest reported that the sticks were running at 565Mhz (or something similar) but one slot reports 365Mhz.
I emailed asus tech support and explained the same situation to them, I thought I would ask the community. To me this screams bad slot, RMA the board.
Your thoughts?
Asus M4a78t-E mobo
Phenom x2 555 (not oc'd)
8GB corsair XMS3 1333 RAM
Nvidia GTS-450
Ultra 750Watt psu
Seagate hard drives
Windows 7 pro 64bit
