Please help me set all these settings in my BIOS. I’m quite a NOOB and this is the first rig I’ve built on my own.
I really don’t have any wishes to overclock. I just want the right settings as when I set me settings to auto I get a BSOD(blue screen)
What you should know:
[INDENT][I]I’ve already done countless Google searches
I have already tried leaving the default(optimal settings), but I get a system crash when it is set to default. It is only when I change the DRAM frequency to 200MHZ(which makes my PC run slow) that I can run my OS without a BSOD.
I set my timings as follows:
DRAM CAS Latency: 3
DRAM Bank Interleave: 4-way
Precharge to Active: 3
Active to Precharge: 9
Active to CMD: 3
REF to ACT/REF to REF: 21
ACT (0) to ACT (1): 2
Read to Precharge: 3
Write to Read CMD: 4
Write Recovery Time
I wanted to set my DRAM Frequency to 200MHZ how it should be, but what’s weird is that when I run tests with Everest using the DRAM Frequency: 200MHZ setting it shows me that I’m running at
Memory Bus 120.0 MHz
DRAM:FSB Ratio 3:5
When I go back into the BIOS and set DRAM Frequency to 333MHZ I get what it should be…
Memory Bus 200.0 MHz
DRAM:FSB Ratio 1:1

Please help me set ALL my BIOS settings.
I’m VERY new to this, so instead of explaining what each BIOS feature is or telling me something like this "[I]Update your bios if you haven’t, or if there isn’t one. From the parts you listed your cpu should be operating on a 200mhz fsb that’s quad pumped up to 800mhz. If your ram is running at 200mhz then your at 1:1. This is what is generally recommended by most users unless you are trying to max all your components.
Also from what I could find on your ram you should be at a CAS Lat of 4 and the others could probably run at 4-4-12/15. Those are my best guesses atm.[/I]" I would just really like for someone to tell me what I should set ALL my BIOS settings to based on the Hardware specs/guide I have provided.
