PC3200 @ 400MHz BSoD - HELP! - 2006/12/13 00:41
I recently updated my CPU from a P4 2.6 (533FSB to a P4 3.4 (Northwood, 800FSB.
With my motherboard Asus P4P800-E Deluxe, and previous 2.6 CPU, my memory was limited and couldn't run @ 400MHz, b/c the CPU only ran at 533MHz FSB. I have 2 sticks of Mushkin Greenline PC3200 1Gig RAM.
Now that I have the P4 3.4 800MHz FSB, it should enable my RAM to run at its rated speed (400Mhz). However, this is NOT the case. If i set the "Config RAM by Speed" to Auto in BIOS, I always get a BSoD. When I set this value manually to 266MHz, the pc runs fine. Now I may be missing something and if so, I would like to know what it is.
I have the 1st stick in Memory Bank 1, and the 2nd stick in Memory bank 3, which should enable Dual Channel, (am I correct)?
I'm just wondering if I'm mixed up, but I believe I should be able to run that memory at 400MHz dual channel without problems, right? It seems like something just isnt clicking here. I just want to know whether I can fix this or if I'm doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I brought this question here cuz I know you all are TOP NOTCH. Thanks to those in advance.
