Power Supply Question And Ram Time QUestion.

[DigitalOv]

First Off.
Power Supply
I Have 300Watt brand New But i Still get File Corruption when i clock my Ram at 133

VCore Value=1.72
VDD Value =3.48
3.3v Value =3.30 (I Finally Got that Up to the Right Spot Was at 3.24)
5v Value =5.00 (Was Also Low At 4.94)
12v Value =12.07

Taken From My VIA Hardware Monitor.

Also I took My BIG 4 Inch Fan Off the Power Supply and Bought a 5 Inch AC 120V Fan Which is NOw Plugged in my Wall and Moves 70 CFM
:-) Extreme AirFlow.


Second. I Was Told By Several People to Slow the Timing of my RAM.

What Settings Are those Under I Have A BCM KT133 ViaKT 133 Mobo and the BIOS interface isnt very good.

Could Some of youall tell me what your ram settings Are?

Oops Posted in Wrong ForuM!

oops Meant to post int he Hardware Forum!!..

Sorry
move it to Hardware whomever

Interesting sig, but no info worth a smack. Post your mobo and bios version, your ram types, and whatever you are doing to the mobo. I recommend booting with a default bios setting and see if you have the same problems. If you do, check to see how many different ram types you have and if they run at the default speed of the mobo. It sounds like you have a ram issue to me or a software/bios glitch.
Another thing that can cause this is overheating of the cpu.

I Have a BCM KT133
(http://www.bcmcom.com/tech/BC133KT/BC133KT.htm)

I Know Its Old Im going to Upgrade Soon.

But im Getting a Water Cooled Case First (CPU HDD And Video Coolers)

And Heres The RAM info 3 Dimms 2x 256 MB and 1x 512 MB
I'll Post My Bios Settings in A Reply.

For My Mother Board I Run the Latest BIOS From their Site.
I Dont know if there are any other Updates other than their 1.03 Which Fixes" Athlon Heat Issue and WHQL error"


Right now i am Runing Stabe in PC-100 MODE.
BEsides All My Games and 3dMark2001 SE crashing to the DESKTop i have no other Problems

So Heres what settings are in my Advanced Section of My Bios For DRAM Control.

Auto Configuration : Optimized (PC-100)
Precharge Command : By SPD
Active Command : By SPD
Active To CMD Command : By SPD
Write Recovery Time : 2T
SDRAM Cycle Length : By SPD
Bank Interleave : By SPD
Dynamic Drive Strength : Auto (Auto Fades the Next 3 Settings Out)
xDelay Dram read Latch : 1.0ns (This Option was Faded Out)
xMemory data Drive : Normal (This Option was Faded Out)
xMemory CMD Drive : Strong (This OPtion was Faded Out)
PCI Mater Pipeline required : Disabled
P2C/C2P ConCurrency : Disabled
Fast R/W Turnaround : Disabled
I/O recovery Time : Disabled
CPU To PCI Post Write : Enabled
PCI Dynamic Burst : Disabled
PCI Master 0 WS Write : Disabled
PCI Delay Transation : Disabled
PCI #2 Access #1 Retry : Disabled


Hope This HElps need anything else lemme know.

I Never really cared to change any bios settings.. i never studied them to see what I Am Supposed to Do

I only Know the Standard BIOS Stuff.

My Guess would either be The 2x 256 MB Dimms are The Problem or the Mother Board setting By The SPD is Wrong.

are you running ram from different vendors? you could have a compatability issue but i doubt it if you are running stable in pc 100 mode. try running each stick at 133. my bet is that one or more of your sticks can't handle it and is causing instability. then again none of them may be able to. hope this helps but i'm not an expert on ram.

Actually

I Changed My Bios Settings to What Omega reccemended for ATI Cards and i was Finnaly Able to Run 3dMark 2001 SE all the way through..

Will Try 133 Mode Now

[DigitalOv]

2 SuccessFul Runs of 3dMark2001SE

Low Scores THough

Also PC133 Mode Still dont work
I Am Going to Take all But the 512 MB Stick out and work my way up

I did this a couple days ago and it didnt screw up until i put one of the 256MB DIMMS in.

Anyway
not my problem for long for i am upgrading in a few Weeks to a Athlon XP/DDR COmbo
