Okay, I've cleared the CMOS twice, and I'm still getting the posting problem.Originally posted by: Core2
Most likely. Always Clear The Cmos when you upgrade itOriginally posted by: SaltBoy
Do you think that would have cleared up my "CPU has changed" and the memory timing errors?Originally posted by: Core2

That what you should have done in the first place.

I haven't put my memory into the yellow slots, but I can conclude this much:
1. I can put only 1 memory stick into either black slot. If I put both sticks in the black slots, then I get the "Only two lines" Post problem -- or "nothing" at the Asus logo screen -- I described in my first post. Both memory sticks appear to work in either black slot. Again, however, I can only do one at a time.
2. I am still getting the "CPU has changed" error, even with the 401 BIOS and a clear of the CMOS.
3. I can no longer get into Windows. The Windows XP Boot screen appears for a while, then the system spontaneously reboots.
4. I changed my memory timings to 4-4-4-12 2T. The post screen showed 5-5-5-18 1T. Something's not right here.
I think my motherboard is hosed, but I'm going to keep on experimenting. If anybody has any ideas, let me know.
No dice. Same behavior when Windows comes up - it just wants to reboot for no reason whatsoever.Originally posted by: acivick
Try putting your mem timings to 5-5-5-15-2T, if you haven't already (I didn't look that far back). I had to do that to get stable, even without OCing the memory.

I know its not the best, but I was (am) on a tight budget, had to get what I could get. Anyway, thanks for any help

Can't find too much info based on what you provided. The A-Data website lists it as CAS 5, so I'm assuming it's 5-5-5-15-2T @1.8V. My recommendation is to leave the voltage at auto and see what you can get stably at around those timings.

I have more problems to pass the FSB 400 with my E4300,and i need 1´5v to Nb.I think my problem is the mulit 9 of my CPU.
8x400(FSB) = 450 Mhz North Bridge Core Clock (NBCC)
9x400(FSB) = 400 Mhz NBCC
6x400(FSB) = 600 Mhz NBCC

I know this topic is old, but, it seem's to be the only viable source of overclocking information for my motherboard. If you guys would be so kind, I'm really having trouble understanding how to overclock maybe you can give me a little help before I damage anything. My specs are as followed
Aspire Iceberg Aluminum 680w PSU
ASUS P5N-E SLI(BIOS 0202)
E6400 @ Stock (2.13) Liquid Cooled by Cooler MasterCPU is normally around 40c idle
2x1gig - Apacer PC2 6400 800mhz
evga gforce 8800gtx
Running windows XP home
From what I read, I believe my ram timings are 4-4-4-12 @720mhz 2.3v[needed], or 5-5-5-15 @900mhz 2.3v[needed]
There's 120mm fan on the side of my PC thats on 100% of the ram and the remaining on the NB.
I'm wondering what are the numbers I will need to get a sucessful overclock and have my RAM/CPU synced for max performance. Any help truely is appreciated.

I've read through this whole toic (took me a long time) and i have to say you guys sure know what your talking about.
I'm in the middle of speccing up C2D system, i realise that you guys are very busy but i would really appreciate it if you could help me out by looking at my proposed setup to see if its all ok?
I can only get corsair memory from my local retailer, and i have a huge amount of external storage hence the small HDD. the whole thing will go in to a lian Li V1000 case so cooling is not going to be an issue and i will not be overclocking, i'm just looking for a stable system.

I'm pretty certain I have a foobar'd board. I can have both sticks in single channel (one black slot, one yellow slot), but can't post with Dual Channel (2 black slots). I guess I'm gonna try to RMA my board, get another one, (hopefully) learn from my mistakes, and do it right the second time.Originally posted by: adder1971
ok. lets keep things simple. (for my sake)
1 stick works fine. lets go with that. use 1 stick. go in and set all mem timings to manufacturer default. make sure to set to 2T regardless. set memory to unlinked at 800mhz. set fsb to 1066. set vdimm to auto or specify according to manu spec. set all other voltages to auto. how does that work?
if that works fine, put the other stick in the slot right next to the first (still single channel) change no settings
if that works fine put the second stick in the same color slot as the first one and lets hope for the best. if still no good do a dos memtest on each individual stick to rule out a bad stick of mem. if that is good run memtest in dual channel mode in dos. if both individual sticks pass and dual channel does not pass then you have a foobar'd board IMHO.
and having your full system specs is helpful

No good. IF your going with Corsair get the PC8500C5 or CD5
If you can't afford them. I would try the PC6400C5 first.
Everything else is fine
Thanks for the reply guys, i knew that the memory i ad chosen would not be suitable for overclocking, i didnt know that it would cause a problem with normal operation thought.
I've had another search around, and as core2 as suggested i take it this memory would be ok then :
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=402850
its a lot more expensive but if it makes a difference in sytem stability then i guess i'm going to have to get this. Am i correct?
Thanks once again! you guys are brilliant, soon as i get my stuff i will report back and let you know (most likely asking for more help!)

Thanks for the help - even though I wasn't successful, I can say that I'm learning a lot as I go along! :thumbsup:
