A customer has recently upgraded the RAM in his computer, and now the computer blue-screens with the error “Memory bus speed exceeds Chipset rated speed.” He was assured by the RAM manufacturer that the memory modules, including bus speed, were completely compatible with his PC. You visit his home and review the blue screen error data. The message on the screen indicates a memory problem. He is currently running DDR2-1066 RAM with a 1333 MHz FSB CPU. Of the following options, which is the most likely problem and solution?

A. The default voltage for the RAM is set too low in the BIOS, and you should set it to a value compatible with the RAM currently installed.

B. The default voltage for the RAM is set too high in the BIOS, and you should set it to a value compatible with the RAM currently installed.

C. The default bus speed for the RAM is set too high and should be changed in Windows Device Manager.

D. The RAM is not compatible with his CPU, despite what the manufacturer said, and you should either install the RAM that previously worked in the computer or find an appropriate upgrade.

Solution

Please follow the data and description :

While the process of installing the new RAM to the current system the thing that is to be noted that the new RAM is just compatible with the running RAM and thus makes it run comfortable as to make the process quicker. But even after taking care in making the RAM\'s suitable if error persits and that be the like \"Memory bus speed exceeds Chipset rated speed\", then this clearly conveys that the default speed of the memory installed is much more higher than the compatible chipset rated speed which makes the system crashed that leads to a error or an deadlock state with the display of a blue screen.

This can be updated in the Windows Device Manager ina step wise process.

So the answer is OPTION C (The default bus speed for the RAM is set too high and should be changed in Windows Device Manager.)

Hope this is helpful.
