Title: H87M-HD3 fails to wake up from sleep... sometimes
Post by: Rasputine on January 23, 2014, 06:19:08 am

God, I hate intermittent errors! Please some clues, this is driving me mad:

Gigabyte H87M-HD3
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 XMP
CIT 450w Gold 12CM Silent Atx Power Supply

Seems like 1 in 5 times, it fails to wake up from sleep mode and I hear the MB classic beep beep beep signaling memory failure.
"Seems" like it only does this with both memory sticks and at 1600 Mhz (at 1333 Mhz doesn't fail). I have tested each stick separately and it seems none fails.
Is this a power issue? (BTW, I only used 4 pins on the ATX 12v 2x4 pins connector, as the power source has only a 4 pin and 6 pin cable).

THANKS! I bought this in Amazon and don't know what to return back!

What else do you have running in the computer? That PSU is only putting out 10a & 13a it could be the PSU.

Thanks dmdilks. A Sandisk 120 GB SDD disk. Nothing else. All hardware is brand new.
Now it fails at 1333 also, but much less. With one stick fails even less.

How can I be sure it is not the Mobo or the Mem failing?

I have tried Win 7 and never failed, but on Win 8.1 it fails one in 5 times. Different ways to wake up?

Don't feel bad I have the kind of the same problem. If I use a profile for the memory my Win 7 runs fine.

If boot into Win 8.1 and after some time it will BSOD. If I don't use the Profile both OS run fine.

You dealing with a piece of junk with Win 8.1. I'm sorry that I said that about Windows 8, but till Microsoft fixes it we are going to have problems.

If you are running a Profile with the memory disable it. Just set the memory speed and see what happens.

I wonder if this is the same problem I'm having with a GA-H87m-D3H?  Also had random BSOD, not waking, intermittent turning off problems.

Seems to me that this board, currently at BIOS F9 is incorrectly using XMP memory settings even if XMP is turned off in the BIOS, thus some DDR1600 memory is having an issue.  I changed mine for slower timed sticks and its now fine.  The original sticks I put into a H97-HD3 and its operating fine at JEDEC 1333.
