The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ASUS Maximus II Formula Det DRAM

Asked by JohnnyR2D2 in Computer Motherboards, Computer Memory (RAM)

Tags: Maximus II Formula

Hello Everyone,

After googling during this last week I know now that several people are facing similar problems although any help will be very appreciate.

The problem started as soon I built the computer. It was hanging at Init ROM. I've noticed that pressing the Power reset button the system starts correctly however after two days the system began to hang at Det DRAM and only starts after several resets and/or Power On/Off.

Until now the only thing I tried in the BIOS was to switching ram to white slots and changing ram timing and voltage from to 5-5-5-18-2T (Auto) to 5-5-5-15-2T with 2.1v. I also tried to change the battery and to not connect any fans into the MB according to some posts I've read. Didn't work.

After upgraded the BIOS to the latest version 1901 everything on BIOS is as factory Defaults. The only thing I've disabled was the Floppy, the Lan 2 and IEEE 1394 which are things I don't use but even with the factory defaults the problem persists.

When I manage to get into Windows I can let the computer on for days without any issue. It is pretty fast and stable.

Here are some information that I got from Sandra and CPU-Z regarding Memory

Sandra:

Memory Module(s)
Memory Module : Corsair CM2X2048-8500C5D 2GB DIMM DDR2 PC2-6400U DDR2-800 (5.0-5-5-18 3-23-6-3)
Memory Module : Corsair CM2X2048-8500C5D 2GB DIMM DDR2 PC2-6400U DDR2-800 (5.0-5-5-18 3-23-6-3)

CPU-Z

This is correct? I mean, take a look at slot 2 and 4. It says my Memory Max Bandwidth is PC6400 (400MHZ).

Thanks in Advance
