vfranchetti Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I am having problems with my ram. I built this system and was getting BSOD in win 7 64bit. CPU seems fine so checked for memory errors in memtest86 4.1. 1st tested with both dimms (in the reccomended dimm sockets(1 & 3)) = lots of errors over on an overnight run. 2nd test with 1st dimm in socket 1 = no errors overnight 3rd test with 2nd dimm in socket 1 = no errors overnight I then thought it must be a socket problem so repeated 2nd & 3rd test in socket 3, again i received no errors. I then went back and tested both Dimms in the system again. I received errors again. I tried to test the 2 dimms in sockets 2 and 4 but its not booting at all. So i've tested each ram stick individually in each socket with no errors but i get errors when they are used together. RAM timings are set to 9-9-9-24 1.5v as is stated on the side of the Dimms. Am i missing something? What can be causing this? The system is running stable with only 1 stick of RAM installed and unstable with both sticks installed even though both sticks individually seem fine.

trackrat Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Assuming you are non-OC'd and using 1333 MHz. RAM frequency, check the mobo OM to see if you are required to use RAM slots #3 & #4 for RAM overclocking. If so try those two slots and see if you still have issues. You should also use the latest BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfranchetti Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I am using the most up to date BIOS. I have not OCed anything but I checked the manual and it does not say anything about using different slots for OC. It just states I should use sockets 1&3 1st.

vfranchetti Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I went back again and tried using slots 2 and 4 but when i try and boot the pc I just get a constant beep. Any ideas what the problem is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Clear the CMOS with the jumper/switch or remove the battery and try again. Since the RAM tests good, you may want to contact Gigabyte to see what they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
