Default Fails Memtest86+ But Does well Elsewhere?

It's a long one!

02/08 Midday

Just a “simple” question >> fails memtest86+ before it gets past approx. 55% of the first but yet the system runs Super Pi without a hitch (32M 00hr 39m 53s), ran stresscpu for 4000+ Tflops no issue, and ran Prime95 for 3+ hours and no issue so what is the options?

Used to going the other "direction", fails Prime start by doing memtest...........
The memory in question is a set of g. skill F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX I picked up for another system and being tested in an ocÂ’ed system that was running the 2 x 512 version (F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX). The settings for this system were not changed as I thought the timings were the same. As it turns out they arenÂ’t but very close. The 1GB set is 2.5-3-3-6 (newegg says 2-3-3-6?) and the 2GB set is 2-3-3-6 (newegg says 2-3-2-5?)

The System:
Enermax EG465P-VEFCA 450W
ABIT NF7-S rev2
AMD Sempron 3000+ @ 2.4 GHz
PNY 6800GT
2 x 512 F1-3200PHU2-1GBZX (testing 2 x 1024 F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX)
ASUS 52X CD-ROM
TDK Indi DVD+880 DVD+RW
80Gb Maxtor DiamondMax9 7200 IDE
160Gb Maxtor DiamondMax9 7200 IDE
160Gb Maxtor DiamondMax9 7200 SATA
MS Windows XP Pro w/SP2


CPU - External Clock - 200 MHz
CPU - Multiplier Factor – x12.0
CPU FSB/Dram ratio – 6/6 (400 MHz)
CPU Core Voltage – 1.775v
DDR SDRAM Voltage – 2.70v

Row-active delay - 11
RAS-to-CAS delay - 3
Row-precharge delay - 3
CAS Latency Time – 2.5


02/08 Late – 02/09 Real Early

For checking the slots on the mobo, I ran memtest with the 2 x 512 set that originally were on the board. These seem to do okay, as I was able to get quite far and stopped the test. Now I testing each of the 1 x 1024 sticks individually and to “clear the playing field” a settings have been returned to “normal”. It could be the 2GB set do not like the oc settings of the 1GB set.

And again the more I play the less I realize I understand. While playing around like I understand memory I’ve forgotten about the “1T / 2T’ part. Anyone want to clue me in on how to check and/or change these settings and what they do for me?




02/09 Midmorning


CPU - External Clock - 180 MHz
CPU - Multiplier Factor – x12.0
CPU FSB/Dram ratio – 6/6 (400 MHz)
CPU Core Voltage – 1.775v
DDR SDRAM Voltage – 2.70v

Row-active delay - 6
RAS-to-CAS delay - 3
Row-precharge delay - 3
CAS Latency Time – 2

Runs memtest86+ with no issues >> move FSB to 185 = cmos jumper time!

DUMB!!! DUMB!!! EVEN DUMBER!!!! It seems I may have left the memtest bootalble disk in when I rebooted to reset the bios.

Currently running memtest @ 185FSB Still open for suggestions, chastisements, or whatevers.



EDIT @ 13:59 Memtest failed test 5 big time! Just as a shot in the dark reset timings to 2.5-3-3-9 and left it @ 185fsb.
