Rampage IV Extreme BSOD, unstable only after sleep.

[ryanhaver]

I have seen a couple threads with something similar to this issue (like here), where the system is fairly unstable after coming out of sleep. Most of them point to the RAM being an issue. I have ran tests on my Memory with the result of no errors, but perhaps it is my RAM. I am able to run Prime95 and Intel Burn Tests with no issues on a cold boot or any time the system hasn't been slept prior to testing. Basically it comes out of sleep with no apparent issue and I can do basic stuff like browse the web, watch some youtube vids, transfer files to network share for hours. Then after about 15-30 min of heavier stress (gaming) it will BSOD. :confused:

I never slept my computer before when I had a Corsair Force GT drive running the OS because it never came out of sleep. I am now running a RevoDrive3, which is a PCI-E based SSD with much greater success. But since I've let my computer sleep I've noticed the issue. I am on bios 3101 and thinking of going to bios 3204 to see if it might resolve my issue, or even rolling back to an earlier bios. My hardware is listed in my Signature for those that want to know.

I've tested with no overclock on the CPU. I recall testing with XMP off, but I want to verify that I did that because other have had success setting manual timings for their RAM instead of using XMP profiles. I have scrutinized my OC settings and made a number of adjustments that others have suggested, but to no avail. I can get some screens up of my OC settings if anyone wants to look at them, but if this happens when not OCed I figured it wasn't going to contribute to the resolution if i posted them. I do run a RAM Disk that stores a good chunk of temp data and browser profiles, but I've had no issues with it.

I am ready for some help, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks, you awesome people!! 🙂

It means you need the 1.44v to be stable. 🙂

But on cold boot I am stable at 1.4v for many months with Prime95 blend, LinX and Aida64. Why after sleep is there absolutely no stability even at idle?

Sleep transitions are a bit more complicated.

And regarding reading XMP values, the XMP is just an SPD profile so whatever reads it, reads it properly. Like HiVizMan said the reading in the UEFI is also good to go. Reading it in AIDA64 is matter of choice.. both will read the same thing:)
