I'm receiving the 667 and 800MHz components mixed - System Halted message on boot. This is on a unit with the motherboard, CPU and RAM card upgraded to support 800MHz, or so I thought. Before the motherboard swap the system ran.
Memory is 2GB PC2-3200R-333-11-J1 400MHz DDR2 from the same manufacturer. Memory is installed in slots 1A and 1B on memory board 1 and 2 for a total of 8gb. At 16gb with slots 2A and 2B installed it gives the same error. I've tried swapping to other RAM, but same error.
CPU is a single 7140M 3400MP/16M/800. I can go 2xCPU, but it gives the same error. Both CPUs give the same error when installed alone or together.
I've tried having the RAID RAM and RAID KEY removed, but same error.
I've tried clearing the NVRAM, but same error.
I've tried removing the VRM modules for CPU3 & 4, but same error.
The memory cards support 667/800MHz FSB.
I'm not clear on where the part number for the memory card or motherboard is, but I'd be happy to supply it if you can tell me where to find it. They were both purchased on the understanding that they supported 800MHz operation.
I've tried leaving the machine unplugged for an hour, but no change.
No other cards are installed except the RAID RAM and RAID Key. I'm using SCSI.
My first thought is I'm not using the correct memory for 800MHz FSB. The 333 in PC2-3200R-333-11-J1 doesn't scream 400 or 800MHz in quite the way I'd like it to, but if this isn't the right memory, what should I be using?
When I turn the machine on the screen stays blank for several seconds, then shows the DELL start page for several seconds, then shows the press F2 or F10 options, then clears and shows 667 and 800MHz components mixed - system halted.
