Looks like there are no problems with the file system and no bad sectors on the hard drive. I didn't really think the hard drive of the file were a problem.

Go ahead and run Memtest again from a cold boot.

Hi carl, i did memtest and indeed it reports error..i test individual sticks and found one with errors.may i know if ram error cause other hardware or programs to be corrupted or condemned..im surprised that i just exchange my ram with my distributor and the guy told me it was a tested one..

Bad RAM can cause many different symptoms; but it is unlikely that it will damage any thing. RAM errors can also be caused by a faulty memory controller (motherboard), RAM not compatible with the motherboard, RAM sticks not compatible with each other, or even a failing power supply. However, since one stick is showing errors, odds are you a a faulty RAM stick.

ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Forum- EZ Flash 2 - the safest way to update BIOS

hi carl,this is a link for flashing bios..i dont understand the installation of the new bios part.can i install the update to a cdrom then go to bios and start flashing?

CarlTR6 · 24 Dec 2010

Yes, you can. In fact, flashing from a CD or a USB stick is the safest way to flash.

I will ask the hardware gurus to look at this thread and give you guidance with setting voltages and the like. We may not get an immediate response since this is Christmas Eve. But we will get help.

Your RAM will not run at 1.65v without causing possible problems.
No RAM will with a P55 board unless in XMP mode.
Your RAM is NOT XMP Ram.
The maximum voltage suggested by INTEL is 1.5v. so the CPU isn't damaged.

It does not need to run at 1.65v for long life and stability of the system.

I have the same motherboard as you with Crucial Ballistic 1600.
It runs at about 1440 and stock voltages.
It is set at AUTO.

For the time being at least go into Bios and open the Ai Tweaker Tab

Set everything as in this picture below.

Specifically the DRAM Voltage setting to Auto - second part of picture in the middle.

If they are already AUTO you are good to go.
