H87-D3H random BSOD

[Damiro]

Hello,

I must say , i have problems with this motherboard from the moment i turned on computer for the first time .

1. After reboot sometimes one of my SSDs wasnt recognized by the BIOS, so i unpluged it and leave it in my old computer, no problems there .

Ok , i will not use that SSD then if thats all that takes to use new computer ... ohh how naive was I...

2. After i finally got configuration of SDD, HDD which works...  Installing windows 8 i got ..BSOD .
   Somehow i managed to install windows 8 at the end, updated drivers, and from time to time i got BSOD.. btw. it passed all possible test 3dmark,      prime95. memtest and similar ..
   updated BIOS to F5, nothing changed, random BSOD.
   upgraded windows 8 to 8.1, random BSOD.
  p.s. it was all happening with only two memory modules installed
   
Finally i decided to reinstall windows and this time i installed windows 7, no help random BSOD... for test i added 2 more memory modules and found on internet that this MB works only with two modules. Random BSOD continues...

Then  i found on internet that solution to BSOD is to disable all C1/C3/C6 state support , and configure memory frequency to 1066MHz beside  ..
For now (24h) i havent seen BSOD, the question is what is next step, to lower frequency of my processor cause its to high for your MB ?

 
My configuration :
Gigabyte s1150 GA-H87-D3H
Intel s1150 Core i7-4770 - 3,40GHz
Gigabyte PCIe 3.0 GV-N65TBOC-2GD - GTX650 Ti Boost 2GB
PSU Corsair CXM 600W Modularan 80+ Bronze
2 x RAM DDR3 Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Kit (16GB - 4 modules)
2 x SSD (60GB)
.....

Can you give me acceptable  solution so i can use what i payed for, which doesnt include lowering or disabling things that should be working by default  ?

This might not have everything to do with your problem. But what your are say is that you are running both cards on the board at the same time?

If you are those two cards alone are drawing most of the amps out of the PSU. Plus this is a user to user forum.

Have you tried it with just one video card at a time to see if you get any BSOD?

Thx for reply.
Sorry if I mislead you , its only one VGA card - GTX650 Ti Boost 2GB so no PSU.
But will try VGA on another PSU/computer and vice versa but dont think that this is problem.

Usually  , can i return this mbo to seller/service because  of problems i have and ask for another MBO  ?

I would email or call support to ask them if they are going to have a fix for it. So far there is no bios update just yet.

After using it for 2 months @ 1066MHz memory speed i had zero random reboots...

Who to blame ?

Hi,

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have the same motherboard, and a similar problem with BSOD;  as far as I can tell, it only happens after the machine has been in sleep mode.  Please see my post for further details:

You mention that both underclocking the memory and disabling C-states have been suggested as solutions.

I see that underclocking has worked for you; can I ask, did you try the C-states, and did that not work?  Or did you try underclocking first?

I've been through lots of checks as regards Windows and drivers etc, so I'm starting to think about trying BIOS changes to see if that stabilises the Sleep mode.

Thanks in advance for your time.
