Hey guys. I have a conundrum on my hands..The system I'm talking about is a Gateway 500X OEM Computer with the following specifications:
Intel La Crosse D865GLC Motherboard /w i865 chipset
Intel P4 HT Processor @ 3.06gHz stock speed
512 MB PC2700 Samsung Memory (2x256MB) /w Dual channel and PAT enabled by default
Timings: 2.5-3-3-7 @ DDR-333 stock
Western Digital ATA-100 120GB HDD
LG DVD-RAM Drive 24x16x32 CD
4x2.4x12 DVD
3X DVD-Ram
SoundMAX Digital Audio
Intel 865GL integrated graphics
Intel Pro/100 VE NIC
Windows XP Home /w SP2
The problem is, this system keeps crashing for no apparent reason. It could be running IE7 at idle and have a STOP error. I've pinpointed the problem to the Dual Channel memory config. Unfortunately, if I disable Dual channel, I lose almost 10FPS of performance in Sonic Heroes (from 40FPS CONST. to 30FPS CONST.) However, the stability issues disappear. What do I do?
