MAximus VI Formula RAM problem?

[jorgemonteiro]

Guys,

I might need some help over here 🙂 I have 4 x G.Skill F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL (4 x 4Gb) and I keep getting random BSOD (WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR) on Windows 8.1. This is very annoying since it is so random, it could be 10 minutes or 5 hours 😞

So, I tested my PC using memtest+ 5.01 and I got errors on my memory (between the 11Gb-12Gb). Then I removed 2 sticks (from the black slots) and no errors. Replaced the 2 sticks with the other 2 and again, no errors. It seems my memory is good, right?

Anyway, when they all in the motherboard I keep getting errors on the 11Gb-12Gb range, this seems to be on a black DIMM slot. Is there a way for me to make sure it is a slot problem and not a DIMM stick problem? Can I test using only 2 DIMMs on the black slots instead of the red?

Also, any other suggestions? I'm running overclocked with XMP profile. But I disabled the overclock and still errors. Also, reduced the frequency on the memory to 1600 instead of 1866 and still errors.

I really hope this is not a problem with the motherboard...

Thanks,
Jorge

Welcome to the ROG forums, Jorge.

Test each stick individually and see if they give you any errors.

Chino,

Thank you for your quick reply 🙂

I tested the sticks on pairs (2 at a time) and got no errors. I only get errors when I have the 4 on the motherboard at the same time.

I think it might be a black slot problem. Can I test the sticks on the black slots instead of the red slots?

Thanks,
Jorge
