Hi all,
I've got my new rig up and going. Asus P5K Deluxe,4 gb Kingston RAM, Nvidia GTS 8800, WD SATA 2 HDD, SATA 2 RW DVD, SATA 2 DVD, Intel core 2 duo E6850. Win xp sp2 / Vista 32 dual boot
Got things up and running fine. But I started getting random CTDs in some programs and the error message referred to memory issue (could not copy, etc). I installed my old 3.5" drive and ran MEMTEST 86. Let it run all night and sure enough I had some errors. I could not tell which stick though so opened up the case and installed the sticks one at a time (total of 4) and ran MEMTEST 86. No errors. So then I took one stick and move it to each DIMM slot and ran the MEMTEST 86. No errors. 8 runs total no run less than 6 hours (I seem to recall more than 15 passes).
The only thing I can think of is that there is a heat issue when I have all 4 sticks in and the cover on. The memory is "bare" does not have the heat shields I have had on other memory. I have checked my MB temps and it never seems to get above 125F when I am looking and is usually around 110F. My CPU temp is usually about 100 - 105F under load, sub 100 when idle. My CPU fan hangs around 410RPM. two other fans in the case - one 120mm on back and one 120 mm on top. Power supply is in seperate compartment with own fan. Fans are only 3 prong so I can't see RPMs, but they are always running. Using the fan control on the MB.
Do it look like heat or could it be something else I can check.
