Hi, i have an asus m3a32-mvp deluxe MB with a Phenom 9600 and 4 x 1gb 1066 DDR2.
a while back I started to get on boot "dimm checksum error" press f1 etc. Windows however hasn't complained, or at least not until recently.
I had one issue which revolved around firefox and 'something stuck in a cache' which caused repeated bsod's every time i opened firefox. but i found what that was, deleted it & all was well again.
Then i get myself a shiny new HTC phone. all is well for a day or two, then when i press various buttons in the HTC software i get bsod. slightly miffed i removed (i beleve) all traces of the HTC software and just transferred files to it manually. that was fine until today, i plug the phone in, the 'what do you want to do with' window popped up, followed immediately by a 0x0000007f bsod (all other parameters were just zeros).
I just ran memtest86 and all 4gb checks of fine? no errors??
naturally i have done a whole suite of tests on the OS & hdd all are fine
I know an easy thing to do would be to bin the mem & buy some more but this system has been running now a number of years just fine, even with the bios error. so any ideas appreciated.
The only thing i haven't mentioned is that this error 1st occurred after a water cooling power failure incident, whereby it over heated and reset itself. If i remember correctly the memory controller is embedded in the Phenom CPU so, maybe i fricassee'd my cpu? but why does memtest work?
also, The Mem is 1066 but the MB has never clocked it over 800 (memtest was running at 667)
in desperation today i even flashed the bios - always a last resort. no change
