    Having weird memory errors

    So I was having issues with this old S478 machine with a Celeron D. Ran a memtest on it and no matter how many of the 4 slots were occupied or how many different sticks of RAM, it would come up with 286 errors every time. So I figured the memory controller was bad.

    Replaced it with a newer board with the same chipset and it seems to be running fine. I ran memtest just cause I was curious and the same problem. Only 2 slots on this board but no matter what I use, it comes up with 286 errors. The hard drives are unplugged. Any idea what could be causing this kind of issue? I appreciate any feedback

    Have you tried another PSU? Also try messing about with the memory timings and speeds.

      Alright, I'll try that right now. Thanks for the input!

      Edit: Tried a different PSU and got the same amount of errors. Gonna see if I can mess with the memory timings and speed in the BIOS now. I hope it has options for that!
      Unfortunately no settings for the memory...

        Super socket 7 Cache unstable? MSI MS5169
        by jhead22
        A while ago I was able to save a super socket 7 board from the landfill. It is a MSI MS5169 ver 2.1 with an Alladin V chipset. There is 512KB L2 cache onboard and the board has Chhsi caps. I tested the board with different AMD K6-2 processors and different PC133 memory modules. The board is equipped with the latest BIOS version.

        The board is completely stable on 66FBS with the cache enabled. At 100fsb the board is only stable with the cache memory disabled. No memory errors. With the cache enabled at 100fsb I get errors in Memtest 86+ 4.xx and 5.xx

        I therefore replaced...
