Undercockin RAM with RAID
|

| I have a client/friend who s trying to upgrade his processor so he buys an athlon 2600 which, according to his M/B documentation, is easily within it's range. After fitting this CPU the machine would'nt start-up so we contacted the provider who told us that the memory frequency needed to be at least 333MHz to run, so 1gb of 400MHz was bought, but after testing the CPU we found that it was damaged, so we tried the old CPU an Athlon 2000 with the 400 memory and the PC kept re-booting. I think that either his board does not like over or under-clocking the RAM. Does anyone think this is the case?, or is it a feature of a RAID board. Thanks in advance for any replies. | |

| What make is the motherboard.
has he tried putting all the original bits nack onto the board (ie. original processor, original memory)? | |

Isn't there surgery for this? | |

| Surgery? thats what all those pop-up windows keep saying.
Motherboard, gigabyte GA7 ultra (can't remember exact code), but i've read now that ddr400 memory does not like operating in more than one stick, somehow the two conflict, either that or when the machine was switched on with the new processor and memory the damaged processor damaged the memory in some way, either way he's vowed never to open his machine again until he buys a new case, he's willing to spend £400 on a coolermaster case, but at least I will get his old aluminium one. |
