GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 1.0) ram problem

[Dark Mantis]

Yes that is correct, you can go back to an earlier or later version. Where exactly are you now then ?

[tolja]

i am using F5 bios now (with default bios setings)
still have this problems
1. 12gb (10gb usable)
2. and memory working on 1066


F6 and F7 bios (with default bios setings) resolve
1. 12gb (OK)
2.  memory stay at 1066 !
but system crush with default setings

[Dark Mantis]

Thanks for the updated info. I am not sure if it is just a typo but you should be using Optimised BIOS settings not the Default settings.

[tolja]

here is image from bios
i didn't change anything  that's why i sad its default

[Dark Mantis]

Well if you go into the BIOS and press F7 or select load Optimised BIOS defaults and then save and exit after making any other changes like the boot option etc.

[tolja]

i did that  and its same settings like on last image i post

You have not big interest to run at 1600 ( memory sticks are very hot )

I have tested with my computer in 1066 and 1600 and performance is similar !!

Test only with defaults parameters , if you have always a problem exchange sticks by anothers

true!
but i am trying to get it work like it should be with 1600
also i have cooler on ram modules

on F5 with default parameters works fine
only 12gb (10gb usable) and memory working on 1066

on other F6..F7 neither defaults parameters work
i got win crush after couple min working
only thing on this F6 F7 bios is that windows see all 12 gB

If you have :

on F5 with default parameters works fine
only 12gb (10gb usable) and memory working on 1066

You have one memory stick bad ,  i have also a problem similar with 3 * 2 GB sticks with 6 GB detected and only 4 GB running

Only with one stick in the computer , the bad stick installed in slot one , and computer cannot start !!

You have 4 sticks why not test one by one and after two by two  the sticks ...

hi
i already try that before i post in here
i mean i changed ram modules slot etc..
also i run module memory tests which is all OK
i have 6 sticks x 2gb, triple channel

With F6 bios or F7
windows show correctly all 12 GB
but unstable got crush all time

[Aussie Allan]

 But as Pierre asked, ... did you test the dimms Individually ( one at a time ) with Memtest ... it's a long processes, ... maybe start with 2 passes on each modual.......IF they pass you will have to do the full ten passes each.........I have been following this thread and am starting to agree with others that you quite probable have a bad memory stick causing the "Crush" (CRASH) you described.

[tolja]

i didn't test modules individually
i will do this now
and let u know what happen


U were RIGHT !
i found 1 bad module
also i test again memory on 1600
and after 15 min got blue screen
 

[Dark Mantis]

I can't say I am surprised, but so many people try and skirt around this proceedure with any excuse. I have even had members lie to me that they have done the full test and then it comes out later that they hadn't but could have saved a whole bundle of time and effort if it was done as suggested in the first place!
OK rant over.

[tolja]

well sorry i didn't lie to u and i don't have any reason to lie
i did test before but not 1 by 1 module
i did test with all modules in

also i still didn't resolve 1600 isue

[Dark Mantis]

No I wasn't referring to you in person merely many other members who did the exact thing and surely did know at the time. No offence meant.
