RAM issues are leading to instability and BSODs in memory management.
RAM issues are leading to instability and BSODs in memory management.
I've increased the overclock of my Xeon X5450 to 3.48 GHz with a voltage of 1.2375. Stability tests using Prime95 lasted two hours without any issues. While working on Dreamweaver for two hours, I encountered BSODs related to memory management. The RAM is functioning at 772 MHz with 1.8V, and the CPU temperature ranged between 48°C and 52°C. The RAM performance is slower than expected. Could this be a RAM issue? The RAM timing appears to be 5-6-6-15-6-42.
Hi, I'm just starting out with overclocking. I've managed to boost my Xeon X5450 to 3.48 GHz using a voltage of 1.2375V on an Asus ROG Commando motherboard. For stability, I've reduced the RAM speeds from 800 MHz down to 772 MHz and set the voltage to 1.8V. After testing with Prime95 for two hours, I observed no errors. Then I spent three hours working with Dreamweaver, but encountered a BSOD labeled "Memory management" along with other issues. I'm not sure if these crashes are due to RAM or the CPU.

Sorry for my English.
Here are some clock speeds and timings for memory, though the specific part numbers or links aren't provided. Additionally, the mentioned game BSOD isn't named, but it may relate to outdated hardware. You might want to check system requirements for the game and Dreamweaver. The 2007 Xeon X5450 could be too outdated to meet those needs. Consider purchasing used hardware that is only a few years old to save costs.
