A7N8X Reports errors
Using the following
A7N8X MB AMD 2800+ 2 x 256 Corsair PC3200 2 IDE Hard Drives CD\DVD-Rom CD\CD-RW Zip Drive Ti4200 Video I'm not over clocking and memory is set to 100% System runs great and appears to be very stable. I can run the mem86 test for 12 hours with no errors, but the voice reporter on boot up says "System Failed memory test" about half the time. Anyboby got any clues? Is this voice reporter evn reliable? Thanks Bax |

Hi,
When I was building my machine (2400+ XP, 2x512MB PC2700 Infineon), I was also getting the same problem (more often at 133MHz than at 166MHz ???). Memory tests also never found any actual problems with the RAM. When I removed one stick of memory, the error came only infrequently, then usually only when I restarted from Windows (during installation of XP and software). Once the system was installed, I then left 2nd stick out. It ran for over a week week without one occurance of the problem. I then noted that I had left a CD in my old CD-writer. I plugged the CD into power and switched the PC on and I received the error message again! I thought of power supply immediately. Especially as I was running on a 300W PSU (a bit low for this board, I know, but all power lines were running stable and within tolerances and when WinXP was up and running it was rock solid). I then bought a 460W Enermax PSU. It seems to have improved things considerably. I have both 512MB sticks running now and I have had the message just once since then and this was after I hadn't used the PC for almost a week. I read somewhere that a stick of 128MB needs 10W, if this is scalable then 1GB would need 100W, which would tend to make sense of everthing. What PSU are you using?
