I still think it is your ram. No telling who made the ram for ebuyer. I would seriously
consider finding some name brand memory.

Hi people I'm new to this forum and made a new topic by accident.
After reading (most) of this 67 page topic I thought someone could help me...
I just built a new system from ebuyer and used the 775dual-vsta and ebuyer ram:
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/82244
After running memtest I got many errors and assumed dud ram...
So I have had the ram replaced and got the same errors again. I am now on my 3rd return of ram which I installed very carefully with anti static straps etc and still the same errors!
I read on the ebuyer reviews that someone else had trouble with ddr2 ram and this mobo and am asking if anyone (i think on page 4) fixed this issue.
I stuck in 2x512 normal ddr400 and it ran memtest overnight without errors.
I have upgraded from bios 1.5 to bios 2.6
I also tried the other ddr2 slot with the same results- am I doomed to downgrade to ddr or should i replace the mobo?
Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE:
I have tried:
manually setting the ram timings (4-4-4-12-2t)
enabling flexibility option
setting single channel
setting dram freq at 266
setting ram voltage at low/normal/high
reinstalled win xp sp2 +updates
still no change
Thank you in advance.
System specs:
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
-Asrock 775Dual-VSTA, Bios 2.60
-1x ebuyer DDRII 1GB/266 Mhz
-Ati Radeon x800xt PCIe
-Maxtor IDE 250GB HD
-500W Power Supply
-Tuniq Tower 120
-Windows XP SP2, latest updates
-Not overclocked
-47C load
I had / have a similar problem, but my proc is D820. Basically, my board/memory/processor refuse to work without mem errors on default FSB no matter the memory settings. It works if FSB is set 5% lower (190 versus 200), or >20% higher (240) with flexibility enabled. Starting with 253 FSB (versus 200!) it starts working great no matter the memory settings.
So, my suggestion is to try under/over clock and check. Or, if possible RMA the board. I didn't RMA neither mem nor board because I am pretty sure I would get the same results, but never you know.
