    When changing ram clock, Windows will not start.

    Core 2 Duo 2.53ghz
    FoxConn M7PMX Motherboard
    DDR2 Kingston HyperX 2 x 1 GB 1066mhz - Running at 800mhz by default!!

    Normally, the memory speed is at "Auto" and runs at 800mhz, But when I change voltage to what its suppose to be (2.20v @ 1066), and change clock speed to 1066, windows will NOT boot. Sometimes it freezes at "Building DMI Pool", and IF it gets past that, windows will complain of a random error, Usually somethign about ACPI.sys, but also complains of 100% random system files missing. I assume its having problems loading these files from the ram.

    Anyone know why it would do this? Or more importantly how to fix it?

    Why do you want to change the voltage if it worked before?

    What I'm getting at is it might depend on hardware component specs not the actual operating system!

    Re: When changing ram clock, Windows will not start.

    The ram is designed to run at 2.20 volts at 1066. I have no way of knowing what voltage it is using running at only half-capacity. The ram is BUILT to be 2.20 volts and 1066, my motherboard runs it at god knows what, at 800mhz

    Exactly. But driving at 70mph bears a much higher risk of getting an accident than driving at 25mph. There's no free lunch after all

    the website says that that memory speed is only supported with an overclock. Good luck...
