Title: Memory For GA-P55-USB3
Post by: lucho on October 15, 2010, 10:47:16 pm

Hello Everybody,

I Have the Mobo Ga-P55-USB3  with the latest Bios ( F8) and i tried to install the memory G-Skill DDR3-1333 2Gbx2 = 4GB    Ref F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ.

Every time i turned on the computer after Windows 7 ultimate 64 Bits loaded my computer Freeze with the  Blue screen of death.

I think is problem of the memory. There's any thing i could do in Bios to this memory works?? If not, tell me a nice memory that works fine in this motherboard. Could Be a  DDR3 1600

My specifications is:

Mobo : GA-P55-USB3
Processor : Intel LGA 1156 Icore5 750
Graphics : ATI Radeon HD 5570 1 GB

Hi
Have you checked to see if the memory is compatible with the motherboard? There is the Gigabyte QVL and the G-Skill QVL to check against. If either one of them says it's compatible then there shouldn't be any problem from that side.

Gigabyte QVL: http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-p55-usb3.pdf

The nearest one on the Gigabyte list is : F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK and that is not the same. So I would say check the GSkill list.

If you take out one module does it make any difference? Try each one seperately.

Well you could try running Memtest86+ on the memory modules one at a time and for at least ten loops each. That should at least prove whether the memory is faulty or not. As denny just said sometimes it's a simple case of incompatibility and only changing the modules will make any difference.
Did you check on the QVL lists like I said in my last post to see if they were copmpatible?

Check on the GSkill's websites QVL as well because not all are on the Gigabyte websites QVL.
