HI all
I've just built a new system using the following....
AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P
500 GB Seagate ST3500418AS Barracuda 7200.12
512MB XFX HD 4770
4GB (2x2GB) Corsair TwinX DDR2 XMS2, PC2-8500
I've also got 2 dvd drives and a total of 3 hard drives but currently only 1 dvd and 1 hd to reduce the power at the mo to be on the safe side. (500w psu)
I have tried clean installs in both Win 7 and XP pro 64 but still can't seem to get my ram working at correct speed.
In the bios it only sees it as ddr2 800 and not 1066
I have flashed to the latest bios F5 but this desn't seem to make any difference.
When i run easytune in win 7 it says my memory is pc6400 NOT pc8500.
I have tried switching on EPP and also setting the memory manually, but when I do this windows won't run and I get BSOD.
Also when I boot up occasionally it will post then not carry on after listing the processor.
Any help wouyld be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but wasn't sure
Cheers
