CMX8GX3M4A1333C9 and Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4 bluescreens

[mark3497]

RAM: stock settings: 9-9-9-24-2T 1.5v 1333mhz

 

 

Problem: Bluescreens, sometimes when resuming from sleep, sometimes just using the pc, with various codes (0xF4, 0x7A, c0000BS, 0x00000119), "video scheduler has an unexpected error". "error caused by ntkrnlmp.exe", and others.

 

Weirdest: intermittent (~ once a day) loud burst of static from the audio, with a movie playing, then after stopping movie static continued for 15 more seconds.

 

Goal: not into overclocking, just stability.

 

Things I've tried:

1. RAM passed testing in Memtest86+

2. Increasing voltage of RAM

3. Installing latest bios and drivers for everything.

4. Changing USB Suspend and PCIe link state power management to off.

 

Should I RMA this board + RAM? My 30 day return period is almost up.

 

Has anyone gotten this board + processor combo to work stably, with 4 x 2gb sticks of RAM, (and did you get any of the EIST, S1E, C3, etc. working)? Any guidance appreciated. Thanks!

With 4 modules, you most likely will need to increase the voltage to your memory controller. Try testing in the 1.25v - 1.35v range.

Thanks for your reply Yellowbeard.

 

I have many BIOS settings for voltage, but I can't figure out specifically which one = "voltage to memory controller"

 

I have:

QPI/VH voltage which is = 1.1v

PCH Core which is = 1.050v

CPU PLL which is = 1.800v

DRAM voltage is = 1.50v

DRAM Termination is = .750v

 

Which one is it that I set to 1.25 to 1.35v? :bigeyes:

The stop error code 0x00000119 would suggest some resource has changed, have you updated the MB or Video card BIOS?

And I would try setting the memory Voltage to 1.6 Volts.

The whole thing has been updated. New video card. New motherboard, new RAM. This is a new build, which is why I've had a hard time pinning down what component(s) are causing the errors.

 

I'll try increasing the voltage.

 

I'm suspicious of the "power saving" options C1E, sleep, etc., and I've turned them all off... Is this another thing you have to do to get a stable build?

QPI/VH voltage which is = 1.1v. Intel's name for the memory controller link is Quick Path Interconnect or QPI.
