  • Windows 7 freezes with F2-6400CL6D-8GBMQ

    Hello.
    my system is this:
    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz, Socket 775 LGA (0x4)
    P5Q-PRO (0x000001F4 - 0x005A3A8F)


    An year ago, I have upgraded my 2x2GB Corsair
    SMBus address 0x50
    Memory type DDR2
    Module format Regular UDIMM
    Manufacturer (ID) Corsair (7F7F9E0000000000)
    Size 2048 MBytes
    Max bandwidth PC2-6400 (400 MHz)
    Part number CM2X2048-6400C5DHX
    Number of banks 2
    Data width 64 bits
    Correction None
    Nominal Voltage 1.80 Volts
    EPP no
    XMP no
    JEDEC timings table CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC @ frequency
    JEDEC #1 4.0-4-4-13-15 @ 270 MHz
    JEDEC #2 5.0-5-5-18-22 @ 400 MHz

    ... with this:
    F2-6400CL6D-8GBMQ (4Gx2) http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=62
    (and this
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700)


    with a XP x86 pro partition (everyday things, internet, etx)
    and a windows 7 ultimate x64 partition (video editing, audio productions)
    in the same computer


    the strange fact, is that at a certain time, only windows 7 started to freeze...
    that could happen ten times in five minutes, or in a week... seemed randomly (but it was not... I'm sure)...


    after that, I've tried to reistall windows 7, have another x64 partition, etc... nothing, the result was always the same...


    XP x86 pro ok, windows 7 freezed...

    now I have two different partitions (windows 7 x64 and x86) on the same computer,
    running both as "C" drives...
    so, even if MemTest86_4.0 did not found any error,
    i took away my new g.skill and putted again the old Corsair
    and I did not had other freezings...

    am I supposed to do something more on the system that I could have maybe underlooked? (BIOS, etc)


    since it seems to me that for a certain time things were working, is it possible a physical failure of the RAM? if yes , is it possible such a fast deterioration of g.skill RAMs? how can I be sure of this if MemTest said 'no errors' (I ran memtest on g.skill for an hour and six minutes, 3 interactions.... no errors....) ?


    thanks a lot for your attention

    Might check your Memory and NB voltages, try raising each .05 and see if that helps, if a stick has been removed or the CMOS has reset, the voltages may be off
