GA-H55M-USB3 and gskill F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO DDR3-12800 4gb kit

[melon]

With my new G.Skill RipJaw

Bios Setting:
XMP = profile1
DRAM Voltage = 1.6V

This what happens Upon boot up:



My Bios Setting: (without the profile)
This is my standard setting right now... Which is the only way to make it run properly...






Also tried this setting.. still same:
Base Clock (BCLK) Control - Enabled
BCLK Frequency - 160
System Memory Multiplier - Manual
Memory Frequency - 10X or 1600
Performance Enhance - Standard
DRAM Timing Selectable - Expert
Set timings 7-8-7-24
DRAM Voltage 1.6V


BTW, thanks for being so patient at me...
Only weird thing bout this issue is it seems I'm the only one having this problem with H55M-USB3

Even with a new RipJaw

Can you just confirm that both memory modules were changed?
I am not even sure if these modules are compatible as a check on the GSkill site's "Memory Configurator" doesn't even list your motherboard.
Is it possible for you to test some known compatible memory with the board?

I have just checked on the Gigabyte QVL and your original memory is on there as being compatible but not the replacement modules.
F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO - listed as ok by Gigabyte

Yeah I know bout the list... But why is it that the previous memory gave me same error...
I wish i could get to try other Memory.. TOo bad, my resources are low.

[Dark Mantis]

Can you not just arrange with a friend who has a similar system to try their modules and see if they work?

[melon]

I wish there was atleast one of my friends... 
They are all stuck with their old PC's... EERRRR....

[Dark Mantis]

Ah! The joys of being the groundbreaker!

Just an Update:
I heard that this issues comes out if using a Discreet Video card, I don't have much funds buy and try other Video so I'll just leave this as it is.  
BTW, I'm still not sure if this will work, but atleast, any other options is already tried.

I'm using a Palit 9800GT Green Edition

I don't know in this particular case but I have noticed that a lot of these "green" edition devices cause a lot more problems than the standard ones.

Hi everybody, Im using this same post due I have the same issues with the same RAM Modules (the ECO ones) so would be better to follow this case.

Same configuration as above but with a Corsair H650W an F8 bios version.

I have using the following configurations: Optimized Defaults with and without XMP profile activated, O´C CPU to get 160X10 and all other custom configuration that I have been researching around, and still the problem continues.

I really dont know when my system will boot up correctly, give me BSOD or not getting into the W7 logon screen. It´s kind of frustrating altough memory modules are recognized as compatible.

The configuration that works lees unstable is the following:

Base Clock (BCLK) Control - Enabled
BCLK Frequency - 160
System Memory Multiplier - Manual
Memory Frequency - 10X or 1600
Performance Enhance - Standard
DRAM Timing Selectable - Expert
Set timings 7-8-7-24
DRAM Voltage 1.4V

But I think is that the real issue is that the Mobo is not fully compatible as it goes from 1.3V to 1.4V while the specification is 1.35V, that extra voltaje may be is causing that unstability.

Funny thing is when I get BSOD I just enter bios, disable and enable XMP profile (undo and redo) and I get to boot normally.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
A couple of questions first please. It would be easier if you could just list your hardware for us?
Have you tried loosening the timings slightly?

[b3.tello]

Thank, ok here are my specs:

MB:GA-H55M-USB3 F8 Bios Version
CPU:IntelCore i3 530 @ 3.52 / 160 * 22
CPU COOLER: Stock
RAM:4gb ddr3-1600 G.SkillECO(F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO)  / 160 * 10
VIDEO: Intel HD Graphics @ 566 Mhz (Isolating it from the OC)
PSU:Corsair 650W
HD1:500GB WDC Blue

Nop, I haven´t tried loosening timings, Should I try loosening them with same speed at 8-8-8-24???

[Dark Mantis]

Thanks makes things easier to see.
Yes try those timings and see if they help.

[melon]

I think it's the Mobo itself... I have change my MoBo into GA-P55M-UD2 and I haven't have any issues running it to 1600Mhz anymore...
Just selected the XMP Profile and manually set the DRAM Voltage and that's it.

GA-H55M-USB3 is somewhat trouble some.. 

[Dark Mantis]

I am not knocking GSkill as a make but so many of the problems with memory on here are with them. I really don't know why but they do seem to be more troublesome.

It keeps on the same issue, been 8-8-8-24 for one day and was stable at the beginning and just recently had some issues, the 1st time everything was so slow, movie got no sound, etc, restarted; 2nd time I managed to log in, then Explorer failed to started, restarted, 3rd time it didn't get to the login screen hard restarted, Enter BIOS, just changed Memory Enhancement from TURBO to EXTREME and boot up normally.

I think the solution is very simple as is only to update BIOS and accept 1.35V on the RAM modules, because is very funny (and frustrating at the same time) that I just need to move anything on the RAM and it works, like enabling/disabling XMP, moving from standar enhancement to turbo to extreme and it works.
