GA-770T-USB3 Freezing, BSOD, Random restarting

[biggyk]

hmmmm well that makes this situation even more weird. I hope it helps, if not I think il just take it into my work and have it looked at. Pretty tired of it at this moment and kinda remember why I used mac for 5 years lol. Havent got to enjoy this thing for a while and Im worried when start using pro tools again that it will crash in a "one in a lifetime" session.

go with +0.050v


this issue happens a lot specially with OCZ RAM, maybe that's why they stop producing value RAM...

[biggyk]

I got GSkill and i believe thats the setting I have it at which turns out to be 1.20v

[Christoph]

are you testing???

what happen?

you can go up to 1.24v, in fact the technical support from OCZ RAM says that you can go up to 1.3v for the CPU-NB

now, I really think that is too much, IF with 1.24v you system is not stable, then either is the timings (subtimings) or the memory itself, maybe is not compatible

So far so good today. I left it transferring my backup files while I was at work, and came home to no bsod. I seem to be okay as I write this. But will have to be a good week before I know its solved for sure. Will keep updated. Thank you.

Well im back to square 1. I seemed to be fine last night as I was plying games no problem. However. This morning I was playing a bsod came. I got that fail to boot due to overclocking message. This morning the only change I did was install drivers/software for my mouse and keyboard because the screensaver was working and waking from sleep was all messed up. I even froze in the bios screen. So its gotta be a hardware issue of some kind. Im totally lost now. I did a system restore to last night but I doubt that will do anything.

Well it does sound like a major hardware problem if it is even freezing in the BIOS.
I think I would suggest returning the board to the retailer for replacement/repair as it seems to be an unusual problem and could be a faulty component. If you purshased all the parts there arrange for them to test them all together and let them have the joy of finding the problem.

I bought the part online and they only have 30 days return. I work at bestbuy so i might take it to geek squad and have them look at it.

[Dark Mantis]

I think it might pay you in the long run. Some things are just easier to test when the device is in front of you.

what even more weird is that when I dont have my keyboard and mouse drivers installed I can play my game without problem but my screensaver and monitor standby option doesnt work. If I install them I with crash all the time. But that freeze in bios is another story. I dont know if in someway its related. I bsod in safe mode sometimes too.

[Dark Mantis]

From that you would tend to assume that it was the keyboard/mouse driver in conflict with the Power Savings Modes but the drivers aren't even loaded when you enter the BIOS.

As a matter of interest do you have Legacy USB Devices enabled in the BIOS?

[biggyk]

Yeah thats why im so lost with this. I have no idea what to do myself. I remember when I first built the computer my screensaver would work even without the drivers/software installed.

[Dark Mantis]

As a matter of interest do you have Legacy USB Devices enabled in the BIOS?

[biggyk]

not sure I can check right now. Should it be disabled?

Edit

All is enabled.


Im running memtest right now. With the voltage up it gave me some errors so i put everything in bios back to nominal and tried again so far no errors to be found.

[Dark Mantis]

Well normally it doesn't seem to make any difference but it needs to be enabled if you want to use the keyboard before entering windows. It is a kind of DOS driver that is required for BIOS flashing etc. If it is enabled try disabling it  or vice-versa.
