Good day, Do the following: - Remove all RAMs and borrow a working one. - Install it and go to the BIOS, choose the highest latencies and lowest clocks possible. - Save and quit BIOS. - Turn off PC, put back your broken RAMs. - Startup, go to SPDTool and fix what you messed up with. (I...

Suggestion Hello W1zzard, I have a suggestion... Can you provide a version of SPDTool which allows you to insert the SMBus address to be scanned (if not automatically detected)? The SMBus address can be known using other programs, which makes it an expert feature. Thank you.

Are we going to expect any new version of this tool? It's been a while since the last release... My laptop is not supported. It's HP DV6-3170, HM55 chipset.

Additional tip: Do not change unusual timings/settings in SPD. Changing the type/size of a DIMM may render it completely unusable. Only change tC, tRAS, tRC, tRP since these are the most important.

Yes, you can boot with a corrupted SPD with working SPDs. But if your BIOS is set to Auto, you may not be able to boot the first time. In case of such a scenario, put working DIMMs in, set up BIOS manually, and then install the bad DIMMs back.

As long as you did not restart your *laptop*, or u simply can re-adjust your BIOS settings in case of a failure, yes you can reflash it.

after flashing your memory, u have to remove ntune and reboot your PC. install ntune after that.

I am glad your problem is fixed :) Find your final stable clocks and tell us, then u might send me your BIOS so I can edit it for the new clocks, so you wont have to keep underclocking through software before playing games..

Get the latest version from here http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Video-Tweak/ATITool.shtml

What if he wants to make it permanent?

Yes, largon is right. It requires BIOS modding, someone else has got to tell u how, since I do not have ATI cards. But weird that those IDLE clocks are too high. my nvidia card idles at 169 for core and 100 for memory.

I will need u to open GPU-Z and this monitoring prog at the same time and show me what it says. GPU-Z on the "Graphics card" tab where you have Default clock and GPU clock. and then take a screen shot. Coz things are confusing me somehow. Thanks.

My experience says when the driver stops responding it means the Core is being HEAVILY overclocked. so you may try underclocking. 500 Core, 400 Mem. Try it. If that really wont work, must be something else. Maybe incorrect voltages.

Your card does not support shader clock adjustments. That's why.

Do you remember what were your Core/Mem/Shader clocks before you messed up the card the first time? Could be that you have much higher clocks in the newly flashed BIOS. Use an editor and lower the 3D performance clocks a little. Shader clock should be as double as Core clock speed. Then...
