hmm it's gonna be hard for you to test... it's either a hardware issue with your ram sticks or your mobo (try to change the slots if you have extra ones)
or it could be a firmware issue too but the chances are pretty low
the thing is, DDR2 is pretty anciant now and are expensive for what they do
I saw
But this motherboard doesn't go above that so it's all I have for now
there's several tests like "memcheck" that are provided with most linux distro livecd / usb
you could probably check that but I don't know if that will be of any uses
yeah I know, and if you change your mobo you basically change your whole PC...
my statement was more like if you could buy another ram stick to check if it's the mobo or not
or if you have extra DDR2 compatible sticks arounds (friends or whatever)
but as I said, they are pretty expensive due to their age
I'll do that
I was going to buy more either way
🤞 pray it's not the mobo that was fried 🤞
Right.. 😅
well either way, it looks like your PC is 10+ years old considering the type of ram stick you use. Maybe it's should be a good time to consider buying a newer one. I know it's a budget but yeah... consider the time this poor piece of hardware was in use. ^^"
The motherboard's the only thing old about it
And the CPU..
The rest is fresh
yeah well that's pretty much what constitute your PC lol
What else is there
I mean, you don't need to get the last over priced hardware like a 1700€ cpu and whatnot, just that it's gonna cost more and more money to maintain your actuall PC if you have any issues
>buying Shintel
Come on Towelie clearly Threadripper is better
if AMD would allow me to do direct I/O without any issues i'd consider it
but it's not the case
there's a gtx 1050 gpu, a corsair cx500 power supply, a new cooler master fan and a new case
i'm gonna keep my 6950x 😉
and also windows and a HDD that'll arrive tomorrow
wow a 1050 on that mobo ?
yeah lol
it works
did you know that your mother board isn't able to use that correctly ? 😄
Well that's the one thing I didn't pay for, so
I mean, PCI express 3.0... vs PCI express 2.0
in what way does it not use it correctly
?
it's not able to use the bandwidth your graphic cards needs
plus I doubt your CPU wouldn't throttle that either
so of course it'll works
