Hi

I have a newly assembled Amd 64 with 6600gt and samsung 793mb 17" crt and altec lansing 251(45watt rms) all running on mocrotek 800va and copmuter powered by antec sl 450.

The rig was assembled on tuesaday .

When RON was running the monitor screen went black and I think the speakers gave a sound as if tyhe computer had hanged.This happened more than once.Same happended with hitman contracts demo.

But I have played oher games like doom3 , ut 2004 demo and this may not have happened then.

What is the problem?

plz help

check your ram with memtest86
most prob ram is the culprit.
and also try to get every latest update for ur card.
as u are digitized member i can expect that you have alrteady done that but memtest 86(let it run for the whole night) will clear the whole picture....

I have Asus A8N-E and corsair value select 512mb ddr 400 X 2 .
Could ths in dual channel create a conflict?

In the user guide it is written that this in dual channel corsair value select is not supported.

Also,why does it happen with specific games only and why not with others?

its not a matter of dual or single channel coz if it was then you wud havent been able to boot up.
i had a bad ram stick...
only freedom fighters used to gave me problems....
and sometimes gta....but doom3 run fine.
it depends....everything is just relative.
as for now we can only suspect the ram.....as u wuld be having every latest driver update.
just run memtest86 and then we will have to consider otherposibilities.

WHO SAYS THE A8N E WONT SUPPORT CORSAIR VALUE SELECT RAM....
HAVE YOU BOUGHT UR RAM FROM NETWEB...
ANYWAY THERE IS MUCH LESS POSIBILITY THAT ANY DEALER WILL BUY IT BACK

SEE I M NOT HAVING UR SYSTEM IN FRONT OF ME.
SO....EVERYTHING IS JUST LIKE HITTING LIKE A BLIND.
SO THE BEST OPTIONS AVAILABLE IS TO CHEK THE RAM FOR MEMORY CORRUPTION BY MEMTEST86.

COZ IF IT WAS RELATED TO DOUBLE CHANNEL THEN U WULDNT HAVE BEEN RUNNING EVERYTHING PROPERLY

AND ALSO TRY RUNNING IN SINGLE CHANNEL MODE....
COZ IF U ARE SO DAMM SURE ABOUT IT THEN WHY U ARE WORKING IN DUAL CHANNEL MODE.
TRY CHANGING TO SINGLE CGHANNEL MODE AND FOR GODE SAKE PLEASE RUN MEMTEST...
COZ I BOUGHT XMS MEMORY FROM NETWEB AND THEY WERE BAD TOO....I HAD TO REPLACED THE PIECES THE NEXT DAY I BOUGHT THEM FROM NETWEB.

AND IF ITS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE BOARD ALL YOU CAN DO IS TO CALL NETWEB AND TRY TO CONVINCE THEN TO GET OTHER MODEL...OR SELL IT TO ANYONE ELSE.

YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE RAM STICKS....
FOR DUAL CHANNEL MODE YOU HAVE TO INSTALL THE RAM STICKS IN DIFFERENT COLOUR DIMM SLOTS...AND FOR SINGLE CHANNEL INSTALL THE RAM STICKS TO SAME COLOUR DIMM SLOTS.
OPEN UR CASE AND CHECK THE DIMM COLOURS

Connect power (via molex connector) to your 6600GT (assuming it's AGP)

Details in your manual.

dinesh_singh - get a new keyboard with a working (non-stuck) Caps Lock key
:lol:

contact netweb and ask them for a replacement as i damn sure they will not return your money back. if they dont offer a replacement u can threaten them that u will file a case in the consumer forum. that ought to do it... but make sure its a ram problem and not anything else as they will also test it.
