danny_aka_rudy Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hello all, Having some trouble with 2 sticks of CM2X2048-6400C5 for a total of 4GB of memory on a Gigabyte EP45-DSP3 board. Running the F7 bios on the board. Check the sig for full system parts details. Problem seems to be most evident (well basically the only time I've seen it) when the system is resuming from sleep. Whether I put the system into sleep mode manually or if it goes to sleep on its own, the system either does not ever come out of sleep, or if it does then it will invariably BSOD shortly thereafter. Case in point: Tonight, tried to boot the machine from sleep mode, the machine did not every boot, fans came on when the mouse was clicked, but lights on and nobody home. So rebooted the system and the system ran nice and stable. Went ahead and told it to goto sleep and tried to bring it back up a couple minutes later to test my theory and sure enough it blue screened shortly afterwards. Duplicated these findings 3 times. Then I downloaded Prime95 to have a little test. Once the machine was freshly booted I ran Prime95 for 10 min with 0 errors. Went ahead and exited prime95, put the system to sleep, woke it back up and when prime 95 started the system went into a BSOD in a matter of seconds. The system was subsequently shut down and rebooted and Prime 95 has been running every so happily since the ordeal. This has been at least a couple of hours. I'm going to let it run overnight to make sure, but it seems rock solid. Ideas? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 3, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 3, 2008 I would suggest you just disable Suspend to Ram and use the Hibernate option instead. Or try a fresh install of the O.S. and see if that will solve the problem. But if the system is passing memtest and Prime and orthos then it is not the memory.

danny_aka_rudy Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 This is a completely fresh install... Why should I need to disable suspend to RAM if the memory is listed compatible with the motherboard? This doesn't make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 3, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 3, 2008 If the modules are passing http://www.memtest.org but you have this problem I would suggest contacting the MB and or chipset maker for an updated version of BIOS and or drivers.

danny_aka_rudy Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 currently have it running memtest. After a fresh reboot Prime95 ran for 18 hours and 10 minutes before it errored out with a rounding error I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 4, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 4, 2008 That would suggest some other problem, maybe the CPU is getting to hot how are the MB and CPU Temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_aka_rudy Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 ok so updated the bios to F7 revision and ran some more tests... ran memtest for 80 hours straight - no errors... started prime 95 up from a fresh boot and also ran for 80 hours - no errors - temps were warm, but nothing terrible... Hottest it got was about 61C for the CPU. Have tried to remove 1 stick of memory and have had some wierdness. I could put the system to sleep and when it would come back from sleep it would sometimes boot, sometimes not. Sometimes it would lock, sometimes it would not.. :( Put both sticks back in, ran F@H and Prime 95 for extensive periods of time off of a fresh boot, no errors or problems... Put the system to sleep and woke it back up only to have it bluescreen in no time flat. I'm starting to get very frustrated with this setup - the feedback that I've gotten thusfar has been not to run S3... Well it saves alot more energy to run S3, I bought a board that supports S3, the OS is supposed to support S3 - so why the world is it taking a dive on me resuming? Any additional troubleshooting here? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 16, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 16, 2008 I would suggest not using the suspend feature and contact the MB maker and see what they suggest but this type of problem would suggest a BIOS or software issue and if it were my system I would try a fresh install of the O.S. on another HDD to test it.
