Callsignvoper,

"DIMMs with more than 18 chips are not supported" and "DIMMs with more than
8 devices on each side of the module are not supported."


The DIMS have only 8 chips per side. I have no idea what you mean
about DIMS with 18 chips.

If neither applies to your situation you might try raising the DDR Reference
Voltage in BIOS to see if that helps to stabilize your system.


I do not see any option in the BIOS about DDR reference voltage?

BTW: What brand and wattage is your power supply?

ITEK - 350W.

Help!
Amy

My A7N8X was having problems with Page Faults when I added a 3rd Stick
of RAM. See this thread -

System
A7N8X (PCB 2.0) w/ AMD XP 2700 (Barton)
166MHZ FSB
3 x 512MB Kingston KVR333X64C25/512 CHIPS

Since I have flashed the bios from 1006 to 1007 the system will not
boot when I add *ANY* of the three sticks of RAM into the second slot.
Remove the RAM in SLOT 2, it boots. Hopefully, this should be easier
to troubleshoot since its not the "random" page faults and this occurs
right on post.

I am wondering if this is power supply related. Running the probe
with just 2 sticks of memory in the +5V dips to around ~4.7V. The 12V
runs around ~12.8V.

Any thoughts on anything else it could be?

From my previous post in regards to your questions.

There are 2 notes about DIMMs on Page 13 of your motherboard manual that may
or may not apply to your situation.

From Page 13:

"DIMMs with more than 18 chips are not supported" and "DIMMs with more than
8 devices on each side of the module are not supported."

If neither applies to your situation you might try raising the DDR Reference
Voltage in BIOS to see if that helps to stabilize your system.
