Hello, Since I built my PC last year I have not been able to use two sticks of ram (in the proper DIMM slots) when I place both sticks in the respected slots (1-3 or 2-4) I get a BSOD before I can get to my desktop (sometimes I get to my desktop but, you can tell there are issues going on. My color sceme changes to default and applications will crash)
Now I have RMA'd my MOBO and the RAM sticks, so I don't believe they are the culprit. Recently I realized that since I built this machine myself I should have tweaked the memory timings for my RAM. I am thinking that this will solve my problems since, when I look at my memory timing (using programs like CPU-Z and CPU-Tweaker.) They are way off of the recommended settings.
So my problem, now is that I cannot seem to change the memory timings. I read through the manual that came with my MOBO, there doesn't seem to be a way to change the timings in the MOBO BIOS. (I have been looking for HOURS, and just flashed my BIOS to the most recent) I Downloaded CPU-Tweaker to change the timings from my desktop however the CAS latency is greyed out and cannot seem to be changed.
Currently my RAM is timed at 7-7-7-20 when it is recommended to be 9-9-9-24 can anyone tell me if this is a big deal? If this may cause BSOD and terrible application errors?
The link to my mother board shows a utility called Motherboard Intelligent BIOS II (M.I.B II) for ECS boards. However as I said I just flashed the BIOS and the option is simply, not there. I tried to use CTRL+F1, no use.
Please if anyone has any insight at all I would really appreciate it.
