GA-890FXA-UD5: BSODs in Windows

[gxlinx]

No I never got around to trying for 1600MHz. I let the bios do the default settings for MHz which was 1333 then I changed the timing to fit manufacture spec.

Have you tried totally clearing CMOS and starting again?
I know it seems like you're going backwards but it seems strange that everything was working OK for a couple of months and then started playing up.

When faced with your situation I would bite the bullet and start over.
I would  strip the build down to the bare minimum, CPU, 1 stick of RAM, GPU, then re-flash BIOS with the F6 version.

Load Optimised defaults save then go back into BIOS and set the SATA controllers: ON Chip SATA Controller - Enabled; On Chip SATA Type - AHCI; Onboard GSATA/IDE Ctrl - Enabled; Onboard GSATA/IDE Mode - IDE, and disable things such as Floppy Drive, the Full Screen LOGO show etc. On my own system I also disable the Serial and Parallel ports, e-SATA ( I don't have any e-SATA devices) and On-board sound ( I have a dedicated sound card).

Once I had done that I would then attach the HDD or SSD to SATA port SATA3_0 and the SATA DVD/CD drive to GSATA2_7 and try re-installing the OS again. (Actually, I do not use the DVD/CD Drive to install the OS as I use a USB Pendrive these days, but I still attach the DVD/CD drive)

The only thing I may not have done is Reset CMOS.
I will try re-flashing BIOS.

Currently this is how my system is setup.
Video card PCI-E 16_0
HDD SATA3_0  Set to AHCI
CD Drive GSATA2_6 set as IDE
Ram in DDR3_0
CPU

Under integrated Peripherals I have literally turned everything off once Onboard GSATA/IDE Mode is set unless I am using a USB Pen drive to install then I would turn on the USB Controller. Just to make sure nothing is conflicting. Floppy drive is off and Full screen Logo is off.

I have literally been toying with this thing for weeks. Slightly frustrating, somewhat fun, a little annoying. I am thinking I have probably exhausted most of my options once I have re-flashed and Reset CMOS. Unless you can think of anything else. I will go ahead and get the RMA process for the processor started since in my head that just looks like the highest candidate.

I know exactly what you mean.

Personally I wouldn't Disable the USB Options in BIOS but I can understand why you believe this may help.

Just another thought, have you tried a different keyboard and mouse? Sounds silly but I one completely rebuilt a system only to find out it was a faulty mouse causing me all of the problems.  That was an expensive lesson.

[gxlinx]

I will try anything at this point maybe even some Peanut butter and jelly.

I will let you know what happens after I trying these few things. I have had a few mouse and keyboard stories myself.

post everything or is better a screenshot of your voltages in bios AND the whole page of RAM settings


I think you have enabled, the CKS training...  (is it CKS or CSK?)

ok

in the RAM timings where it says TRFC 0-1-2-3  put them at 110 every one of them

the Dram Voltage control  set it at 1.54v

and CPU ND VID Control   at 1.20 or 1.22 v


don't worry it won't burn anything or something like that, it is quite safe, this is to improve stability

[gxlinx]

I tried those settings.  Looked promising, stalled at setup is updating registry. Waited 2 hours no response restarted and got
Page_fault_in_non_paged_area  0x50
Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL   0xD1
0x7e   ACPI.sys

I am thinking somehow my USB Pen drive got corrupted.  Need to put CDRom Back in. I will let you know tonight. Was to busy yesterday to try to much.
Once I try with CDRom I will update again and see what happens. BTW I have re-flashed BIOS and reset CMOS.

[Christoph]

I'm almost sure the problem is the RAM, what is the exact model of those sticks?

some claim those are rated 1.6v

you can easily try with 1.6v on those RAM modules, you could even go up to 1.7v but that I'll say is way too much, so try with 1.6v and don't go any further

but make sure, post the exact model and everything thats says the RAM package

lately RAM vendors have made "mistakes" as my own RAM was rated 9-9-9 and now the exact same model is rated 9-11-9, the middle timings has to do way much when it comes to stability in DDR3 RAM

Corsair xms3 dhx 2x2gb TW3X4G1333C9DHX G

 I just got home will be playing with it.

[Christoph]

this ones?

[gxlinx]

Same model number off of package. On the sticks cm3x2048-1333c9dhx. Memorylabel says 1333 2048 999 24 1.5v.  Think I should run them at 1.7?

[Christoph]

try 1.6v first and the see how it goes
