I'm getting freezes, lockups, BSOD's and corruptions of Windows 7 OS when using XMP settings with default BIOS settings.
Memory is G-Skill F3-2133C11Q-32GZL. 32-GB kit - 4X8GB. XMP frequency is 2133 Mhz.
BIOS is 1302.
Memory was tested w/ Memtest 86+ ver 5. Each stick for 3 full cycles at 2133 Mhz passed. Using slot A2.
Memory was also tested with OCCT for 5 minutes with no errors. All four sticks together.
The bad things will start happening around 30 minutes after using the XMP profile or when its warmed up.
Same bad things if memory Volts, Freq and Timings are set manually using the XMP setting information.
BIOS is at the "Default Optimized" settings except for XMP and the graphic card PCIe settings.
Window 7 is in Performance mode (%100-%100) with no power saving features enabled.
CPU is running at a steady 3900 Mhz.
No problems running with Auto at 1333 Mhz but thats kind of slow.
Also,
BIOS locks up at Q-code "15" after the power supply is first turned on. After warming up it will get past Q-code "15".
No problems getting past "15", if the memory is set manually for Volts, Freq and Timings.
After weeks of repairing the OS over and over I have now become good friends with ChkDsk /f.
The reasons why I bought this memory:
Its on the QVL list.
32-GB for possible future uses, like a RAM disk or video editting.
Low 1.5 volt to help out with heat on the processors Uncore.
Frequency should be enough for my target OC of 4.2 Ghz.
I have screen shots of the BIOS settings if needed. What size, BMP or JPG and do I use "attachments"?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
