bsod about every 15 mins............

well it wasnt working so i put the stick back.... its better to use 3gb ram and get bsod rather than..... well...use 1gb ram and get bsod...eh... atleast its not slow

Again, DDR-800 will not work with DDR-667. This is where your blue screens come from. Reinstalling the OS and drivers will NOT help. Remove one of the sticks and enjoy. Or get a new matching pair of RAM and enjoy.

What you need to do:

1. Remove the Micron Technology DDR667 stick
2. In the bios, set DRAM 800Mhz 6-6-6-18 1.8v for your DDR2-800 memory module
3. Save the new settings and reboot

hey i dont think u got it..... i did removed one stick and i sure as hell didnt enjoy..... if the problem was with the compatibility of ram , then removing one stick should hav done the trick... but it didnt.... i dont want to buy a new pair of ram and still be stuck in the same situation........

I don't think you're getting me: DDR-800 will not work with DDR-667, alright? It will but with the blue screens as in your case. Why?? Because the sticks cannot work "in unison" side by side as their parameters are different:

DDR2-800 DDR-667
400.00 333.33
6-6-6-18 5-5-5-15
Maximum Skew Between DQS and DQ Signals (ns) 0.200 0.240


----> After removing one of the sticks, you need to adjust the settings for the other remaining stick according to its rated specs:

DDR667 5-5-5-15, if you remove DDR800
DDR800 6-6-6-18, if you remove DDR667

Having done so, you were supposed to attach new CPUZ and Rammon info, you didn't.


Good luck.

okay did it again.....how do i change the settings to 6-6-6-18??????

In the bios. It's not the same for all bioses though. Usually DRAM Configuration.

hey... i removed the 800mhz 1gig stick and now my comp is running fine and even games are running good..... no bsod since 2 dayz.... thanx for ur help... guess i would hav 2 buy a new 1 gig 667mhz stick.... can u recommend which brand to choose and the approx price range.........

At last, sounds good - well done.

If you want more RAM, then make sure the sticks are matching, they should be the same model same brand and from the same batch. Buy a RAM kit and you'll be fine. As for the price range, you might wanna use google.
