Hello there!
I have an AK79D 400VN motherboard with a bios from 28 Nov 2003. I bought the board with the computer in March 2004.
My problem is that when I put more that 512 (one stick) of ram in the thing it crashes during Unreal 2004 (or any other intensive 3D game)...little beep and a black screen, only to be solved by pulling out AC and often resulting in a need to re-plug and play thge cd dvd drives as they can no longer be seen on re-boot.
I have tested the ram with a ram tester (no errors)and had someone look at the proccessor temp/ graphics card temp and they arnt getting too hot. I have the latest direct x 9 and the latest Nvidia drivers.
One stick of ram never crashes, two sticks and it takes a few minutes but three sticks and it falls over almost immediately.
System specs are
Athlon 3200
Nvidia geforce fx5950 256mb
sound card emu 1820
two 80 gig hard drive Maxtor
1.5 (potentially) gig ram. DDR-400 512 3208 GATA11-04A1 MD44512 PQP made by PMI (this is what is written on the ram stick anyway).
If anyone has any ideas I would be VERY grateful as this has been doing my head in ever since I bought it!
Many thanks
Peter
