AMD Phenom™ Troubleshooting | Forum profile

I've got a 720BE running at stock (2.8Ghz) on a Gigabyte MA780G-UD3H motherboard with 4GB Kingston Hyper-X DDR2 1066Mhz RAM (running at 800Mhz). When I turn on the PC, I get two beeps but I couldn't say that they meet any of the combinations listed in the manual, such as one long then one short, which indicates a motherboard/memory fault. They seem about the same length but the second one is higher in pitch. Sometimes the PC fails to...

That is wierd, but I would't worry about it. Did you get it to run stable at 4.0Ghz ? You know if you lower the cpu multiplier to X19 or X19.5 then you can bump up the HT ref clock. This in turn will bump every thing else up. like your ram, HT link, CPU/NB speed and you'll gett better performance. Also bump up the PCIe speed then go in to the CCC and overclock that 4890. Thats were the 4890 shines

Error code 124 is hardware related and usually points to the CPU. Whenever I get a bad CPU overclock, I get the BSOD 124 error code. This is why I highly recommend running a different CPU to determine if the 955 is defective or not. I hope you talked to wife about throwing out the original boxes...grrrrrrrr!

Confirm the driver version in the device manager for your graphic adapter. It should be dated for like last month. If, it is not then the drivers did not install properly and you will need to manually uninstall then there and reinstall them again.....I had to do this as well. Also, there is a hot fix released already for CCC v9.12 that you should also install.... Link to HF ...the driver version with this HF installed will be for this month...Dec

I did this. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=902377

Looked - that's not the problem... In the end I gave AMD a call and they just said to ship it in for a replacement - very impressed! On the one hand it's not a crippling problem and I'm not 100% sure it is a faulty CPU myself, but on the other I doubt they'll have any original Phenoms left around so it'll probably be replaced by a Phenom 2 with the lower power requirements so the problem should go away. Well impressed...

Yeah the problem is it voids the warranty. Such a shame AMD made such a ***** cooler for a good processor. Thanks for help everyone

Just for information, I believe I have resolved the problem. When I ran a stress test with Prime95 the system locked up immediately. I raised the DRAM voltage from default of 1.5 to 1.65, left the CPU voltage on AUTO. The system is stable during the stress test.

Originally posted by: Rising Force Is it better on or off? Very debatable and you'll find it's an "each to their own" issue. I keep it on, and can't tell the difference from when I have it off, except when monitoring the cpu freq. when FC2 is running. With that game the cpu is always changing freq. but all the other games seem to keep it locked at it's maximum. Strange but no difference in FC2 gameplay either...

First regarding the memory.. Look at the label in the memory, it should say the timings and volts to use... Regarding you VGA drivers i would use the previous one 190.62, or look into nvidia website for the newest one... Lots of user with the 191.07 drivers were having issues just like the one you mention, other reported problems with there Cards after using these drivers, ... I myself had artifacting problems when i installed the 191.07, and...
