Hi,
I've been through a lot those last days : my PC won't boot, and even won't POST, if I don't configure the BIOS in a very specific way.
I have 3 modules on my P5QL-PRO (in replacement of a damaged Gigabyte P35-DS3R, wich had no problem) : 1xGSkill 1 Go PC6400 PK and 2x1 Go PC6400 HZ. The problem is that I must always put the PC into sleep mode when I don't want to use it anymore, otherwise it won't boot if it's shut down for a too long time.
If I want it to boot when it has been shut down for a too long time, I have to follow, step by step, these followings :
1. Boot the PC. The screen remains black, and force it to shutdown.
2. Remove HZ modules. Only the PK one is remaining.
3. Boot the PC. It says that the OC failed, because of the forced shutdown at step 1.
4. I let all OC parameters the way it is (actually, it doesn't change anything if I put standard clocks specs. The only thing I put manually is the RAM voltage and the timing settings, wich are 4-4-4-12@2.0/2.1 V), save, and reboot.
5. Let the PC works to NTLDR, and then shutdown it.
6. Put the HZ modules back, and boot. It works perfectly.
However, I always check if the procedure has properly worked. In fact, I sometimes had a BSOD when booting Windows, that was actually meaning that the procedure hadn't worked properly. I do the simple NTLDR memtest, and sometimes it tells immediately that hardware issues has been detected. If it doesn't, I know that I can safely boot Windows with no problem. I know that after a few tests (with the real Memtest86 : when it worked, I had it working for almost 10 hours without any errors, and when I had a BSOD, I immediately got thousands of errors. It is binary : full of errors or no error).
If I hadn't got the PK module, I couldn't get my PC to boot !
I'm asking if there is any solutions to my compability issues, to avoid a future memory buy.
Thanks a lot.
