Hi all,
This is really weird, like 15mins ago I made another post, which seems to have disappeared? I hope I didn't make it in the wrong section or something.
In any case, my problem is is that I just bought a new stick of RAM, and there seems to be a few problems. First of all, dual-channel mode won't activate even though I have 2 x 256mb modules in the right place on my motherboard (AsRock 939dual-sata2). The only problem in this matter I can see is the fact that one of the ram modules is from Nanya Technologies and the other is from PNY.
Here are the tabs from my CPU-Z:
Why, I wonder, isn't the manufacturer of the PNY stick reading on the CPU-Z and why is the latency so high?
Also another thing is, which I'm not sure if it is related to the memory, but then again prior to installing it, I didn't recieve such problems; when I was playing, some 10mins into Oblivion, I did a fireball and the screen turned black, I couldn't see anything, ni mouse ni icon etc. I couldn't CNTRL + ALT + TAB and the computer did not respond. It didn't turn off however, which I think is what usually happens with a memory problems. I had to reboot it myself.
I hope you can help

ps - I really do swear I posted this somewhere else!!!

I just discovered another problem, which I think is the cause of the aforementioned Oblivion error. I used SysTools to set an 'unsupported' divider for my RAM because my RAM is PC3200 (200Mhz/400Mhz) and with my cpu overclocked to 2.4ghz goes to 217mhz/432mhz at 11. I had to set it to divide at 12 which on my system is 150mhz. Now, each time I reboot, it resets itself to the 11 divider? Is there a way to fix this completely?
I hope that was clear!
