    Default Major problem!

    No need to read anymore. Scroll down to the bottom paragraph.

    EDIT: Perhaps someone could also answer my question in my second post?


    So I got my new system, everything was fine and dandy except for the memory. It's clockfrequency was 333MHz (first I had 4 sticks, I was told that this should work aswell on 400MHz and now I have 2 1GB sticks) and I tried getting it to work on 400MHz as it should.

    So I started to search on the internet and found out how to do it. I changed the CAS Latency to 3.0, RAS to CAS to 4, RAS Precharge to 4 and TRAS to 8 as it showed using CPU-Z to make it work on 400MHz. That didn't work. Then I searched further and found Tweak 64XP or something and was able to set the clockfrequency to 200 and it worked. I still was under the impression that I needed to change 2T to 1T, so I disabled 2T Timing (which I thought was that thing that needed to be changed in order to get it on 1T) and my system locked up. I booted and went to my BIOS and loaded optimized defaults. Then I changed those previous four settings again and this time, as a guide stated, changed CDD-AMDR or something in the Cell menu from 2T to 1T. Saved and exited and now I can't get a signal anymore with my monitor, so I can't get into my BIOS and set everything at default again.

    The system doesn't smell burned or anything, so it must still be working properly.

    I have 2 1GB PQI DDR400 sticks (identical) and they are in the first and third slot (the green slots - http://www.msi.com.tw/program/suppor...UID=710&kind=1 - click on the picture of the board for a better view of the board).

    Could it be that all I need to do is put the stick that's in the third bank into the second?

    Darn my stupidity!!!

    EDIT: Nevermind. I always ask first and then do something which I already thought of trying later. I just panicked thinking "darnit I just spend 1300 euro's (more then I was planning to in the first place) and I may have to spend more to get it to work again :S". I got a stick out and it booted again. BIOS is at default again.
