  • new PC133 SD-RAM is creating stability problems...

    i have recently bought a 128 meg stick of Athlon grade PC133 SD-RAM, and it seems that now, after about 2 hours of running anything (IE, Quake2, Half-Life, etc.), i get those white Win3.x-style error boxes. i can't figure it out! i have the speed set to By SPD in my BIOS, but i still have the problems. i've tried manually setting everything to 3T, 2T, 2T, and 3T, 3T, 3T, and 2T, 2T, 2T, but nothing really helps. i still have those really annyoing errors. also, after a while, my sound control panel becomes an empty gray box and i can't click anything, but i can get out of it. same thing happens to the start menu... i can open it with the Win key, but i can't click on it. should i return this RAM? i used to be running 96 megs of PC66 SD-RAM, and i never had a problem. right now i'm running a 115-MHz bus. PLEASE help... thanks

      believe me... i've tried EVERYTHING, including setting the bus speed back to 95 MHz, 100 MHz... also i tried raising the I/O voltage. but the really wierd thing is that with the P5A, the lowest 3.3v I/O voltage setting available is 3.5v! kinda strange if you ask me... i tried all 4 settings (3.5, 3.7, 3.9, 4.1) and still, no luck... very frustrating indeed

        I have also experiensed this fenomena.
        But my machine is not overklocked at all.
        I think it had to do with my 128 cas3 and 64 cas2 memorystick not liking each other!
        I have replaced those today and hopefully i wont get any of those problems again.
        I dident replace them because of this particular problem but of all those damn BSOD's!
