Help needed with STRANGE ram problem

[JM]

I have a rev 2.0 A7N8X Deluxe board that's been running flawlessly for a
year with a 2100+ and for the past six months with two 512 meg Kingston
pc3200 dimms (KVR400x64C3A/512). A few days ago I upgraded the cpu to a
3200+, and I've been having stability problems ever since.
It all seems to be related to the RAM

What happens when you drop the clock rate for the processor,
from 200MHz to 180MHz. Does the stability improve ?

The Nforce2 is picky about RAM, and the issue tends to show up
when you run a processor that uses a 200Mhz clock (FSB400).

Here is a summary of your options:

The nforcershq.com web site has plenty of user experiences
to read about, and that is a good place to do some searches
about RAM on the A7N8X.

Good luck,
