Motherboard: ASUS P5QL PRO (with latest BIOS Ver. 1004)
Memory: G.SKILL F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
CPU: Intel Q9550 (2.83Ghz, 1333FSB)
Problem: Memory won't run at 1066 without errors (and BSOD under Windows 7 64)
I've got my P5QL Pro board (with Intel 9550 CPU) running Windows 7 64 great.... except for one minor issue. I bought 4GB of G.SKILL DDR2-1066 memory (F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK) and can't get the stuff to run without memory errors under MEMTEST 2.11 if I set the DRAM Freqency to 1066Mhz! It works with no problems at 800Mhz.
And YES, I KNOW that this ram is not on the QVL for the ASUS P5QL PRO!!! I wanted to buy something on the list, BUT there's only 1 type of 2GB ram chip on the list for 1066! (and Newegg didn't have it). I went for the G.SKILL since it's lower clocked ram WAS on the list and some other people in the Newegg reviews section had used it on my motherboard.
Anywho, I've tried various settings in the BIOS to get the stuff to work at 1066, but no dice. I tried using the settings from G.SKILL for an ASUS P5K Deluxe (http://www.gskill.com/images/images_...on%20Guide.pdf) and I still get errors. I also tried settings from here (http://www.overclock.net/intel-memor...pro-not-2.html).
Windows 7 likes to BSOD at various intervals with the ram giving errors (obviously) when set at 1066Mhz but it hums along fine at 800Mhz.
I'm NOT overclocking my CPU.. yet, just trying to get things running like they should first.
I'd like to know if anyone else has gotten this particular ram to work correctly on this motherboard, and what settings they used.
