    Well I doubt its a driver issue because my system never froze on default bios settings 1600 11-11-11-28

      • BSODs everywhere.

        I keep on getting BSODs, i updated my drivers and os, but still, it keeps on getting BSOD (after 2 - 3hours)

        I think, the reason behind this is my ram (ripjaws 1600 cl9 2x2gb)

        What should I do? Especially with the bios, (I followed the instructions and still, I'm still geting BSODs.

        My Specs:
        CPU - AMD Llano A6-3500 (Tri-Core, 2.1mhz with HD6530 graphics)
        MB - Gigabyte A55M-DS2
        RAM - GSkill Ripjaws 2x2gb 1600mhz CL9
        HDD - 500GB Seagate 7200.12rpm 16mb SATA
        PSU - 460W (Bundled with Cooler Master 371)

        Experts, geniuses, what could be the problem? (and the solution? )

        • Do you have the latest BIOS? What are your BIOS settings on the DRAM, system voltages and freqs?


          Pls offer comments on support I provide, HERE, in order to help me do a better job here:

          • BIOS is updated. RAM settings are set to auto. i tried 1600 9-9-9-24 1.5V but it still got a BSOD. Thanks for a fast reply sir.

                Your PSU looks like it is probably too small for your system. It's been years since I've used a PSU less than 500W. I'm currently using 650 W and sometimes wonder whether that is too small. A failing PSU or an undersized PSU will definitely give BSODs. You might want to use the PSU calculator here: http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx
                to see what size PSU is recommended. You can also find other PSU calculators (Google PSU + calculator).

                BTW, note the following statement at the Asus PSU calculator, above; "Please ensure to use power supply unit capable of outputting over the calculated recommended wattage to prevent system instability, random reset, unexpected shutdown, or similar problems caused due to insufficient power.", which pretty much describes the problem you are having.

                If you do decide you need a new PSU, be aware that all PSUs with same wattage are not the same. I've burned out and replaced a lot of PSUs over the years. I'm currently using an Antec PSU; and by and large I think they make good reliable PSUs.

                Perhaps Tradesman will pop in with his recommendations for a good PSU manufacturer, as he is a system builder and obviously has a great deal of experience with this.

The 9-9-9-24 setting actually carries a tRC setting of 40 (XMP-1600), and based on my limited understanding of the working effect of memory timings, I think the 9-9-9-28-37 is just a little faster (the tRC setting is an overall time performance limiting factor as I understand it). Even so the 9-9-9-28-37 timings have been rock solid stable (knock on wood).

                  __
                  1600 @ 9-9-9-28-37-2T and 1333 @ 8-8-8-24-33-2T these timings have been very stable so far, had a lock up on windows splash screen on a cold boot but i don't think it was ram related. So thanks again nymnym and tradesman for the recommendations.

                      Glad to hear the timings are working for you. Thanks for the positive feedback.

                      @Tradesman,
                      Do you have any recommendations for PSU manufacturers? I'm sure that somewhere down the road I'll be buying another PSU. Would love to have the benefit of your recommendations when that day arrives.

                      Best regards to all.

                          • sir nymnym, i removed 1 ram stick and i've got no bsods. what could probably be the reason for this? thanks for the replies. and btw, the recommended wattage is 300

                            P.S. To Sir Sage101, any recommended psu sir? tier 2, tier 2b, or tier 3 (not that expensive but good.) (my current PSU is CM 460W 80+ Bronze.)

                              Are u having issues with your current psu?

                              • To tell you the truth, I have no idea, but as been said by Sir nymnym, i think, i have some psu issues here. but i'm still waiting for his reply because when only one ram stick is inserted, i don't encounter BSODs but if both sticks are there, i encounter BSODs every 2 to 3 hours.
