i got this

19 inch acer lcd flat screen 8ms

http://www.acer.com.sg/products/monitoral1916/p_monitoral1916.asp

did not buy it here, bought at a local shop.

djbbenn · Dec 25, 2005

I got a new kit of ram, OCZ Platium PC3200 2 x 1GB... all it's doing is causing my system to crash/BSOD. No matter what settings I use it fails tests and still crashes. Must be defective.

Think I have to RMA it now...

voltage/overclocking

i would check your dimm voltages. if had your system overclocked when installing these dimms it may have caused a problem,i would set you sys to stock speeds and then try again. ocz dimms can take a beating in voltage 3v and up safely and very tight timings.

djbbenn · Dec 25, 2005

I've tried everything... loose timings, tight, higher voltage... different CPC with different timings. BF2 runs fine... but prime95 fails straight away, and I get errors in memtest. It's running a little better now, but not how it should. I'm going to test each stick individually and see if it's one causing the problems.

Anyways, back on topic, my statement wasn't intended as a hijack.

1 GB OCZ High Performance DDR2 533 3-3-3-8, brings me up to 2 GB

. Unfortunately my other 2 DIMMs are 4-4-4-11 so I'm stuck with those timmings till I can get rid of them

Is it the ce-6 or UCCC, eigther way dont go over 2.9v. And ussually the problem is that 3d fails while 2d is dead stable.
Easier, tell me the timings at ddr500, 3,3,2,8 is CE-6, and liek 3,4,3,8 is UCCC.

Also a TRC of 11 is good for utt/bh5 but try to lower it for 5-7

Also back on topic im ordering a P5WD2-E Premuim, and some ddr2 and a new grpahics card./

Poisonsnak · Dec 25, 2005

I thought the tRC of 11 was an nForce2 thing not a BH-5 thing.

Anyway nice haul guys. I got Civilization 4 but no hardware, which is ok, I don't really like it when other people buy me hardware because I feel obligated to use it even if it sucks.

Not its a utt/bh5 thing, the 2 gig ics cant take it.

Which DIMMs are you using? The orange ones usually work better.

Back on topic, I got F.E.A.R., Quake 4, and Call of Duty 2. I haven't played Quake 4 or CoD2 yet, but I've been playing F.E.A.R. at maximum settings.

CjStaal · Dec 26, 2005

I have $210 I think that is enough for the p/s and case & liquid :-D

Go here, don't want this thread to be hijacked, and being hijacked by a mod doesn't set a great example.

My mom got me this cute cat teddy bear style thingy. When I opened it, first thing that came to mind was, aren't I a little old for this kind of thing. But it's to clean my monitor... I love it.
