Changing Memory Timing Causes Windows XP Bluescreen
I have the Asus P4P800 motherboard and Corsair Twinx1024-3200C2. This
memory has a supported timing of 2-3-3-6. If I have the SPD Auto set to enabled, the system post and Windows XP starts up without any issues. If I disable SPD and set the memory timing to 2-3-3-6, the system post correctly; however, Windows XP gives me the bluescreen of death. The system is not overclocked and Windows XP was installed with SPD enabled. This doesn't seem like an issue with the hardware, just windows quarkiness. Has anyone else seen this or found a solution? ~Randy |

With it set to Auto, what does Aida32 or any other suitable program report the timings as? What is VDimm? The system is not overclocked and Windows XP was installed with SPD enabled. This doesn't seem like an issue with the hardware, just windows quarkiness. Has anyone else seen this or found a solution? It sounds exactly like a hardware issue, and not at all like Windows quirkiness.

I flashed the BIOS to the newest version, which was only a month older than the one I had installed. This corrected the problem. Randy |

Hi,
I've read somewhere that Corsair was aware of that SPD issue. They just advise to switch to manual and adjust the expected values. New sticks will be corrected but no aftersales exchange just for that. Mike "Randy Snyder" a écrit dans le message de news: ... I have the Asus P4P800 motherboard and Corsair Twinx1024-3200C2.
