Windows 7 64-bit Random Freezing

OK, here is cpuid all tabs with info open. I think it's the board that's restricting the memory .

Single Channel

your ram is running in single channel mode that's why

Check Ram Slots

check your ram slots you got them in the wrong order it's easy to do just consult your MB manual and make sure you get them in the dual channel mode

CPU Voltage

Your CPU voltage is low also stock is 1.3V you are showing just barely a little over 1 volt you need to check all your hardware and make sure your voltages are correct the motherboard does not always set the proper voltages like i said your ram voltage was a little low also

CPU

max volts on that CPU would be like 1.5 also you can unlock the other core on that and have a quad core also it overclocks fairly well

I have the ram in channel a according to the motherboard, it shows in order from left to right on the board, a2|b2|a1|b1, and my ram is in a2 and a1, i also had it in their before at a2 and b2 before i consulted the mb manual which was wrong. the manual says channel a and channel b so i have the ram in their correctly now but i didn't before. i'll try the cpu voltage thing that might help a lot though. Thanks

Ram

well something is off with the ram for sure CPUZ says it's running in single channel mode

 

[Bshipper]

oh i get it now lol duh sorry DUAL channel compared to single channel

 

[Bshipper]

so how do i overclock the processor to unlock the fourth core?

Motherboard

go by the marks on the board for ram placement i have seen the manual be wrong i just always consult the manual first they make it kinda tricky if your not paying attention

 

[Bshipper]

ok i changed the ram to dual channel mode and upped the cpu voltage but i don't know how to unlock the fourth core and the ram still won't do anything above 1333.

Screenshots

ok a new screenshot so i can figure out ram speed is ram speed in bios set to auto or are you setting it manually


i will get you instructions on unlocking the other core it's not a given so unlock some don't just have to try and see

 

[Bshipper]

i got the fourth core unlocked by going to other forums on the internet so i figured that out. In the bios i have to set Ai Overclock Tuner to manual and change cpu bus frequency to 225 to get the ram to go to 1800, otherwise the highest setting is 1600. will post new screenshot in a second(i'm looking at bios now and posting here on seperate computer)

Progress

wow we have made a lot of progress got the machine running stable unlocked fourth CPU core and got ram running at speed i got step out for a while i will check back when i get in good luck!

 

[Bshipper]

ok so i set the ram back down to auto like i had it when it was working and now nothing is coming up on the screen OH GOD WTH happened

 

[Bshipper]

Ok got it working i don't know why but all i did was switched the monitor plug on the back of the video card. changing anything in the ram makes the computer freeze before it even fires up but this is with the setting on auto.

Go Back

go back and undo what ever you changed.... I would give the ram 2.0 volts like I said

 

[computersplus]

Your Motherboard

your motherboard memory spec:

Memory Standard DR3 1800(O.C.)/1600(O.C.)/1333(O.C.)/1066

the base memory speed for your board is 1066 the board will run memory at a higher speeds when overclocked which means the chipset and/or memory controller is not approved to run at this speed, but the motherboard manufacturer has designed the board to do it by overclocking.

Power Supply

also like i said you need a better power supply you are running a 95 watt cpu plus that big video card now you have unlocked the other cpu core and i hope you gave the cpu more volts like i said it may not be stable with that core unlocked at that low of volts

 

[Bshipper]

Well i put in a 550 watt power supply so it should be good right?... Newegg.com - Rosewill RP550V2-D-SL 550W ATX12V v2.01 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply - Power Supplies this is whats in it now.
