F2-8500cl5d-4gbtd + Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H (rev. 1.0)

[delrules]

Hello,

I am using the above memory modules and MB. My cpu is AMD ATHLON II X2 250 3.0GHZ DUAL-CORE.

When I set the frequency to 1066Mhz, the system restarts everytime just before booting into windows. I have tried WINXP and Win7 with the same results. The system is new and it behaves like this since the beggining. When I set the memory to 800MHz, the system boots normally, but almost all the applications run very unstable (like wmp, divX player, win live messenger). Please advise. Is there any incompatibility between this particular G.skill module and the Gigabyte MB?


Best Regards,

George

Do you have the latest BIOS? Also, what slots do you have them installed in? Try the other two slots to see if you will have different results.

Thank you
