DwightMcCann Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I just upgraded the BIOS in my ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 running Windows 7 64-bit from 1003 to 1202. When running 1003, I turned on the X.M.P. setting in order to get memory speed of 1600MHz at the suggestion of someone on another forum (it was three years ago and I can't locate it anymore) and all was well. Since the upgrade to BIOS 1202, turning on the X.M.P. causes a BSOD. I am utterly naive about any sort of overclocking or memory speed setting. When the system boots it says the memory is 1033 MHz. Can someone handhold me to get it back up to 1600 MHz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwightMcCann Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 As so often happens, after posting the above I continued searching and saw a post saying that the author had used X.M.P. profile #2 successfully with my hardware combination. I hadn't seen the #2 profile option previously so I booted to Setup and found it, turned it on and booted and all seems to be as it should with the 1600 MHz. I also noticed a red warning on voltage but another thread said that it was inbounds and not to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 . I also noticed a red warning on voltage but another thread said that it was inbounds and not to worry. Yuppers, it's all good. It's just the BIOS making sure you know what you are doing. I don't know why they used red for the first "color change" When you start going up in voltage it will go from red to yellow to purple for voltages that are really high. Most people see the red text and freak out thinking they are in the high end. If you have any more questions just let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
