I ran memory checking overnight on my unstable (segfaults) AMD 8350 system, |
| 24 |
but no issues were found. Underclocking the RAM to the next lowest speed |
| 25 |
completely addressed the issue. If i get keen i may re-visit the RAM timing |
| 26 |
to see if it can be made to run stable at the nominal frequency with more |
| 27 |
conservative settings on the other parameters. |
| 28 |

If the firmware hasnt fixed it, the underclocking is cheap test, but yeah |
| 30 |
power supplies seem to be problematic. I always buy branded ones, but even |
| 31 |
then only had mediocre results. |
