  • Memory Errors and BSODs with F3-12800CL9-2GBRL

    Hello, new member here.
    I recently built a new computer, and I've encountered some difficulties. Due to most of the BSODs happening in games, I thought it was my video card and RMA'd it. The issue was not fixed. Then I ran memtest to check if the RAM was the issue. I have found that on a cold boot, my RAM malfunctions with over 40k errors. If I leave it on for a while, turn it off and turn it back on, memtest will run without errors. Since this is such a specific problem, I was hoping it could be fixed with some BIOS settings (which are currently at default). Any help would be greatly appreciated because I've never seen anything quite like this before.

    MOBO: Gigabyte P55-USB3
    Bios F9
    RAM 8GB (4x F3-12800CL9-2GBRL)
    Processor: Intel i5 750
    Video Card: Gigabyte ATI HD5830

    Can you post your BIOS settings, especially the DRAM settings and system voltages


    Pls offer comments on support I provide, HERE, in order to help me do a better job here:

      Here are the settings. Let me know if I left anything out. (I'm just copying these down. Is there an easier way to get them like a log file?)
      Memory Frequency 1600
      DDR Voltage 1.5 V
      QPI Voltage 1.1 V
      DRAM Termination 0.750 V
      CPU Vcore 1.15 V

      Channel Interleaving 6
      Rank Interleaving 4

      Timing 9 9 9 24

        Might raise QPI to 1.2, Easiest way to post your settings if you can is to take digital photos of the screens in your BIOS and post the photos

          Thanks for the tip. Oddly, my motherboard has the QPI under memory settings grayed out so I cannot change it. I found a QPI/Vtt Voltage that I changed to 1.21V in another menu. Is that the same thing?
          Either way, the errors still popped up on a cold boot.

          Also, all relevant pictures of BIOS settings.

            Send the memory in for RMA, the new kits should work better.

            Thank you

              Alright, I'll send them in for an RMA. Before I do so, however, I'd just like you to verify that my RAM/mobo/processor are indeed compatible.

                Absolutely, even the Extreme Memory Profile should work too. Enable that to Profile 1, and the memory should operate at rated performance.
