MarcHeijerman Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi, i have a problem with my motherboard and my corsair memory. mobo: asus m4a785td-v evo mem: tw3x4g1333c9a g i'm getting random bluescreens, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 30 or sometimes 1 hour. I contacted my supplier and the technical support engineer told me to manually set my mem clock speeds in my bios. So i did. I have set the clock speeds to 9 9 9 24 and my memory voltage to 1.5600 I also have a picture of the bluescreen: http://img574.imageshack.us/img574/4571/img20101201150816.th.jpg Please give some ideas to work with, this is really annoying when playing games etc...

trackrat Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Do you have one TW3X4G1333C9A, 2 x 2GB. kit or two RAM kits? Mixing of RAM kits even of the same part number is not recommended or guaranteed to work per the Memory Upgrade Guide link in my signature. If you are using two RAM kits all bets are off but you can try some of the following: 1. Make sure you are using the latest BIOS & confirm with Asus tech support that they are not having issues with this mobo and memory combo 2. Try manually setting the BIOS to 11-11-11-30 2T as the latency rating of the RAM is for one kit, not for each module 3. Raise the CPU-NB to 1.26 V. 4. Test each module one at a time with Memtest 86+ 5. You can also try reseating your CPU and Video card if the above does not help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcHeijerman Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have indeed 2 kits installed. I will try your options thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcHeijerman Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 memtest didn't show me any errors. Bluescreens still there... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Well that's a good start as we know the memory is probably good. So now it's a matter of trying to find BIOS settings that will allow the two RAM kits to play nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcHeijerman Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Ok, so the standard settings are 9-9-9-24, but i cant find a option to set 2T, this is automaticly done somehow. If i set things to 11-11-11 won't i lose some performance ? The default voltage is 1.5, so what value to use with the 11 clk settings. I also can't find a option to set cpu-nb voltage. (probably something wrong with my eyes :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 2T is the memory command rate, sometimes listed in BIOS as CMD or similar. You can try a RAM voltage of 1.65 V as this is safe on the AMD mobos. The Asus M4A785TD-V Evo is a dual power plane mobo so it should have an option to set the "CPU Northbridge", not the just the "Northbridge", to a voltage of 1.26 V. It's typically around 1.12 V by default. I understand the eyesight thingy... :bigeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcHeijerman Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Ok i have set the VDDNB voltage to 1.26 under cpu voltages. So far so good. Tomorrow i will test my pc with some first person shooting :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcHeijerman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 It was to good to be true :D, just started with Need for speed Hot pursuit and after 10 good minutes gaming.... Bluescreen :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Did you try all of the BIOS RAM settings? You can also try the RAM voltage at 1.65 V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcHeijerman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yes tried 1.65 too, but it seems to be more stable at 1.56500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Use what works. ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcHeijerman Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well played allot of games, ran allot of benchmarks and so far still no bluescreens... Maybe it's solved (fingers crossed) I also set the following: tRFC0 110ns tRFC1 110ns tRFC2 110ns tRFC3 110ns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
