RAM clock speed DONE

Mmmm... Cocks...

Edit: New title maybe?

Man I've been burnin up H/A lately haven't I?

Well as I've mentioned I got a new laptop for school. I installed CS onto it for my brother. He loves the game with a passion but our desktop is pretty much shit. So, for some reason when I load up the game it gets a "memory can not be 'read' " Error. Half Life 2 works just fine.

I came across this though.

While my memory certainly isn't over clocked I figured I'd look into that at least. But I'm not sure what I'm doing or what I'm downloading to look at my memory speeds like that.

Edit: Theres a hand full of people if you google "Counter Strike memory cant be read" with the same problem.

The best I can do is provide this link to the an article in the Steam support section. It has a crash test and a bunch of things to try that may or may not help. I haven't run into the problem myself though, so no idea. I don't have any experience with memory clock speeds either.

Mmmm... Cocks...

Sadly I got nothing from the crash test.

Here's some thread with possible solutions (modifying the shortcut and increasing virtual memory).


To change memory timings, which was suggested in the thread you linked, go into the BIOS (usually DEL at POST) and there might be some options for changing them (though it's very possible that there won't be any except just memory speed/frequency). Here's a GIS with some examples of how it should look. Higher timings are less demanding and lower are faster, so you'll want to increase them as little as possible; generally you should increase them all at the same time if it's DDR2, except for the Command Rate (1T/2T) which you should try to keep at the usual default of 1T.


Here's some article at AMD that shows what the names of the timings in the number sequences are.

Aw thank you the shortcut edit worked.

Thank you so much I almost gave up on that.
