Asus Crosshair V Formula - RAM problem | HELP!

[Zendaseth]

Hey everyone, first of all this is my first thread. Please correct me if i post this thread in wrong section.
I look for a solution in the forum but nothing helped me so far. So i decided to create this thread.

I am having some stability issues for 2 days. Probably my rams are not compatible with my motherboard but i am not sure.
I did manage to operate my rams without a problem for ~5 Months by giving some voltages to CPU/NB and DRAM.
Nothing changed since then but suddenly i am having this blue screens and erors again. Sometimes windows doesn't boot.
I have made some changes in ram timings and voltages, now windows starts, i can sometimes use it like 1-2 hours, playing games but then it eventually gives a blue screen error. When i try to open games like Skyrim, an empty windows appears for .5 seconds than closes without an eror message.

I tried to change the sockets of my rams but no difference. They are currently in slot 2 and 4.
I tried to lower the CPU/NB and DRAM voltage to normal and DRAM Frequency to 1333 but no use.
I tried a couple of ram timings but sometimes it didn't boot and when it boots it doesnt made any difference.

My bios is up to date, my drivers are installed. I was actually using this system for 5 months without a problem.
I can provide screenshots and more information if needed.

Any advise/help is appreciated. Thank you. (btw sorry for my poor english ^^)

Please follow the guide in my sig and do the complete Memtest86+ diagnostic.

Any you are in the right section no worries. 🙂

I return my bios settings to factory settings and run the memtest, %35 completed for the first cycle and no errors yet.

I am also recording with a camera while testing. If any errors occurs i'll upload the video. Thanks for your response.

A few things come to mind.
First I'm wondering if you updated your nic driver ??
Next Im wondering what you are doing exactly .. other than when you load skyrim .. (this also sounds like the network)
What updates have been done between 'when it worked' and 'now'?
Have you checked to see if your 'bios' has been turned back to defaults ??
Are your running your memory T2 and have you changed your [read to read] to 5 ??
Have you loaded any network intensive software between 'working' and 'not'? ie .. antiVirus .. ect. ect.

In general .. if the memory checks out as good to go .. i would look at 'what was loaded on the network' and the
'nic driver' ... Please. Keep us posted.

and by all means .. Welcome to ROG.c.

-I believe i have the latest nic driver but i'll check.
-I am browsing in the internet, using programs like dreamweaver, fireworks etc., playing all kinds of games etc. The games that requires high system specs are just giving errors or doesn't open.
-I don't know if it's relative but i reduce the fan speeds and disable 2 of them. (I have 8 fans in my case and it's very loud). I checked the tempretures at stress test, all seems normal.
-I checked my bios settings after problem occurs. It was as used to be.
-I am running memory T2 and read to read 5 as default.
-I didn't install anything, infact i remove some of my old games and programs for space.

When i play with timings and voltages, it's going good or bad. I have managed to run the computer for 4 hours today with some bios settings and ended up with a blue screen while watching a video on youtube. It's still unstable and giving random errors/blue screens.

And thank you 😮
I can post the "4h running" bios settings if you want. But it's still unstable.


-edit-

Forgot to tell, when i return the factory settings today, RAMs are running in 1333Mhz as deafult. I didn't change that. They are actually 1600Mhz.

I finished 2 passes and there is 115 errors so far. Should i continue testing or just test the modules one by one?

Umm and how do you scroll the screen? 😄

[Zendaseth]

I've tested the rams one by one. The first one showed 64 errors from the first moment, the other one showed no errors for 4 passes. I wonder if the ram is damaged or is it the timings? They are on default settings/timings.

I'll test the first one again.

[HiVizMan]

If you have errors then your ram stick is defective. That will cause you heaps of problems with a build.

Ok, i'll send it for RMA. I hope that's the problem. Thanks for your helps. I'll inform you when it returns.
