vfranchetti Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi, Built a new PC and I am getting BSOD issues. I have had BSOD's since I built the system. I narrowed it down to a memory issue so i started testing both sticks of ram. I tested both sticks in memtest and got a load of errors so I tested each stick seperately and received no errors. I did this test in socket 1 and 3 and both times no errors. Put both sticks back in and tested and received a load of errors again. I have checked the timings in the bios and they match what the Ram label says. Have i got a ram problem or motherboard problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooldrive Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Just to be sure, have you checked/rechecked that the modules really are placed in slot 1 and 3 (the white slots)? Gigabyte often numbers the slots 2 -1 - 4 - 3 (counting from the CPU). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfranchetti Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yeah they are in the correct slots. I have checked the manual several times to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 If the memory tests good it's probably BIOS settings. Make sure that you have the latest BIOS as this is how compatibility issues are resolved by a mobo makers. You can try adjusting the QPI to 1.35 V and set the RAM to 2T command rate if it's at 1T as many BIOS do. It's also worth noting that some Intel CPU/mobos are sensitive to RAM voltage and only prefer 1.5 V while others prefer slightly higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
