Using GA55A-UD3, i5-750, Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 1600 memory and a 550W power supply with EVGA 9600 GSO video card. No overclocking.
In all my years of building computers I never have had as much problems as I have with a Gigabyte P55A-UD3 and i5-750. Using a OCZ550W PS and Corsair XMS3 4GB 2x2GB DDR3-1600 memory.
When I was installing Windows7 Home Prem x64 it bsod several occassions with a stop error 124 and then other installs no problems. The latest was when Windows completed the install and before I managed to install any of the video card drivers (EVGA 9600GSO) nor motherboard drivers. Flashed the Bios of the MB to F4 initially in the hopes that it would fix the problem but it has not.
Removing one stick of memory still results in BSOD stop 124 when I attempt to install the mb drivers.
Edit/Delete Message
Turning off AHCI amd instead ATA in BIOS results in the same problem. Using stock CPU and memory settings for speed and voltage.

Hi
A user on o/c forums was getting the same results with BSOD stop 124 error message
And it was suggested the following solution,
BSOD code 124 is a lack of VCORE or CPU VTT
Increase your voltage,
Worth a shot
Cheers

Well someone over in Corsair forum indicated that XMP profile for the memory. THat seemed to help for about 11 hours at which time I got another Stop 124 error when applying some Windows updates. The thing is that with this sort of error I never know if something has fixed it until the error occurs again.

No post back indicating that it fixed their problem?
Why is it that the Canadian Gigabyte web site http://www.giga-byte.ca/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3254 (http://www.giga-byte.ca/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3254) shows the current bios at F4 while the Tiawan site http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3164 (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3164) shows a bios F5 which mysteriously has the same release date.

Win7 by default puts the computer to sleep after 30 mins. Well this computer will not resume out of hibernation. It powers on but there is no video nor hard drive activity. Even after hitting the reset button or power button same result. The only way I got it to boot properly is to pull the stick of memory in the DDR3_3 slot. The problem does not occur when not in Dual Channel mode i.e. when I am only using a stick of memory in DDr3_1 slot.

http://www.giga-byte.ca/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3254 - it's BIOS for P55A-UD3
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3164 - it's BIOS for P55-UD3
