Hello Trillionsin, sorry for being away for a while...

I would like to suggest that we go back a few steps...
(In my opinion we should have done this earlier, and I apologize for not suggesting it sooner).

Go to a "bare bones" setup.
1. Remove the DVR card (Geovision).
2, Remove any other cards that are not needed. (Eg if your Graphics card is the only way to display to a monitor leave it, otherwise use the on-board graphics and remove it.)
3. Remove all but one stick of RAM.
4. Remove power to internals (eg hard drive and any EXTRA cd / dvd / blueray).

5. Make sure that your BIOS is properly set for Voltage and Timign for your RAM
RUN Memtest.

If it fails at the same point, or if you start getting errors, stop, swap ram, and repeat, until you get a system that will pass memtest.

If it fails to get through memtest, then one of two things must then be true...
Either all your ram is bad, or there is a problem on the main board (CPU or Mainboard Chipset).

Once you have a system that will pass memtest, then start adding pieces until it fails or bsods.
Then you have your culprit.

If you do not have a system that will pass memtest, there is no point contacting Geovision support.

They are the matching memory modules.

I can access the BIOS,
The memory is recognized.
Voltage to what precisely? I thought the power supply always provided 12V, 5V, 3.3V.
Do you mean voltage to the RAM? I have no idea how to change that.

Anyways, I just loaded GeoVisions on a Gateway computer along with the card and drivers. Well guess what!!! I got a system error. Same type of error. This isnt making much sense to me except for that it has to be some sort of problem with the GeoVision drivers, software, or the card itself has just plain gone bad.

If other people arent giving up, well.. I want to... to bad this is my job and I cant just drop it like a rock. Looks like we are going to have to pay some more money and get some newer equiptment.

Thanks for all the help guys, I know you do this on your own will and I appreciate it greatly. Maybe I'll stick around and spead any knowledge that I have and help others the same way.

Actually the BIOS sets the voltage on the RAM via your motherboard. The power supply is the system's source for voltage/wattage but for such things as RAM and cpu they are regulated by the motherboard. The power supply does provide that standard voltage you list but RAM is often designed for no more than the 1.8 to 2.0 ( and can be more or less depending on the RAM) volts, but can be pushed (depending on the RAM) with more voltage. This is called overclocking (you can OC the cpu as well).

As for your GeoVision issues. Were you able to update the drivers and/or software after re-installing? You may very well be correct that the card itself is bad.

Nobody had seem to even think of this possibility, I sure as hell didn't!

Bad capacitors

Both of our P4P800S-X machines seem to have bad capacitors.

Here is a link with a related article showing pictures and such. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=195
There is actually a picture that looks quite identicle to the P4P800S-X motherboard. Probably not the same, but looks close enough!

Buy new motherboards. Problem solved.

Interesting! Thanks for the update!

Yes. I think this is a MUST KNOW troubleshooting problem for people with older boards.

Irregular problems = check capacitors! LOL

If anyone is still interested I have taken the good capacitors from one of the boards and replaced the bad ones on the other board.

Installation is going very quick and smooth so far. No strange or random errors!!!

Soldering is difficult, i burned my thumb twice in the same spot.

Another update for anyone looking still

Those capacitors that I replaced... yup, still good and running. The system has been running since my last post on here... and its been running 24/7. Monitor and check the system every day.

So, it is possible for an amature to solder capacitors on motherboards.

Hey, thanks for giving us this update. Just how many did you need to replace?

Well, now that it has been months ago.... I'd say it was about 5 capacitors.. Give or take 2. I just remember destroying a few when I was trying to remove good ones from the (worse) motherboard to replace on the (better) board.
