tyy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I thought I'd register and add something to this too. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP MB and Corsair Vengeance 16GB in (4 x 4GB). CPU is i7-4770K. I am running Windows 8.1. Initially everything seemed to be good (at 1333MHz) but after I enabled the XMP profile and 1600MHz, the system crashed (BSOD) in couple of minutes. Setting everything manually in BIOS and tweaking the voltages was the first thing I tried, that did not help. Searching the Internet lead me here. I have now returned to 1333MHz and though everything was good, but unfortunaltely the system still crashes, thought very rarely compared to 1600MHz. Not acceptable still. I too think the problem is Gigabyte board, not the memories, but I have anyway ordered a different set of memories (2x8GB) to see if that make a difference. Should get them tomorrow.

tyy Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 ^Using 2xGB seemed to have solved the problem. Several hours torture testing with 1600MHz, no crashes. New set of memory is not Corsair (it's Kingston HyperX Black), but I would not think that makes a difference. I agree with others, that it is a motherboard problem.

KonsG Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 As a follow up to my original post on the 23rd of August. It's been exactly 2 months since I replaced the faulty Gigabyte motherboard with the Asus Z87A counterpart. Not a single crash since then. All four memory modules used with no stability issues. So for all those poor souls who are having BSODs with a GA-Z87-D3HP series motherboard, you can rightfully state it's a faulty piece of trash and request a replacement. The company should issue a recall. When I get some time, I'll make a post on their forums or create an issue ticket with their support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khesahn Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I know it's an old topic, but it might help some ppl anyways! I have the same motherboard and 2x4gb of vengeance! I tried so many things I found here and elsewhere but nothing hepled. BSODS no matter voltage or timings! But, now everything seems for 48 hours to run with no problems. The thing i did was: In the bios i was so annoyed with the layout i switched it to normal mode. (I belive it was f7) so it looked like an oldschool bios. Not that windows with mouse thingy! The when there I pressed load optimal settings and BAMM. Rebooted and everything is Running perfectly. I don't know what of the two things did it. But it did the trick!

Try the new beta 8 bios for your Gigabyte Z87x board and there's a good chance you'll be back in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar issue with my GA-Z87X-UD3H, BSOD due to kernel Power with a bugcheck 292. I had everything set to auto and memory on xmp profile. I called gigabyte and they had me reset the xmp in the bios in the old school bios screen and I ran 14 days without an issue, had one happen since, but it seems more stable. There must be a glitch in the HD panel view in the bios and even though it shows the correct timings, it really isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, this worked for me like a charm! I think this is the solution. I had the same problem and i did the steps you told (old interface) and i've no problems anymore. Thanks a lot!!! :D::D::D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
