  • F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM / P8P67Pro Rev 3.1 / i7 - 2600K freezing/locking

    I am having lockup in Windows 7, 64-bit & 32 bit, but no BSODs. Nothing in the Event Viewer. It takes from 30-90 minutes to get the PC locked. I have already performed the following:

    - Ran the memtest86 with no issues
    - Change from default memory settings to X.M.P.
    - Updated all windows updates and drivers
    - Tried with one chip at a time but no luck
    - Thoroughly tested the video card with their diagnostic test

    I do not have my processor to OC yet. By default, my mobo is recognising this memory is 1600Mhz. When I use XMP, it shows 2133MHz. I just want to stablize the system at the moment. Any help will be greatly apprectared.

    Here are my system specs:
    Motherboard: ASUS P8P67Pro Rev 3.1 New P67 B3 Revision
    Processor: Intel Core i7 - 2600K, 3.4GHz, 8MB Cache, LGA1155, 95W
    RAM (memory): G.Skill, F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM, DDR3-2133MHz, PC3-17000 4096MB x 2 (8GB Total)
    Video Card: EVGA NVIDIA GEForce GT520, 1024MB DDR3 PCI-E
    Power Supply: Corsair Professional Series HX750
    Hard Drives: Seagate ST3320620AS (320.0GB, 7200RPM, 3Gbs) x 2 (RAID0 - Striping) for OS
    Seagate ST500DM002-1BC142 (500.1GB, 7200RPM, 6Gbs) x 2 (RAID1 - Mirror) for Data
    DVD: LG HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH12LS39 ATAPI
    Case: Antec 900

    Multiboot: XP 32-bit, XP 64-bit, Win7 32-bit and Win7 64-bit

    Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit are freezing in about 30-90 minutes of the login. Both XPs are fine.

    Updated the BIOS as well. Ran scandisk and defrag. XP 32 bit froze once as well it it seems like a hw or BIOS configuration issue.

      Depending on how the multiple systems are installed, it can cause problems, the mobo, CPU and DRAM them selves should be fine under XMP...might take a look at this:

      then install one at a time and check for problems after each install

        Thank you for your quick response. I actually installed OS twice, and XP 32-bit and 64-bit never froze (with the exception of XP 32-bit once which was a DCOM issue).

        Once I even installed the windows 7 by itself with same results.

        Only Windows 7 32-bit and windows 7 64-bit are the one freezing. It's been hard to diagnose if it's the SW or the HW side.

        Is there any BIOS memory settings that I could use may eliminate the HW suspicion?

          If only with Win7 (both), then it may well be a driver problem or something in the OS doesn't like the quad boot, have you loaded all Win updates after initial load of each OS?, ran into something similar wher Win 7 and XP had disagreements on the RAID setup, turned out XP wanted different drivers than Win 7, solved that by building two different RAIDS and had XP on one and put Win7 on a different RAID. Make all ddrivers in Win7 are for Win7, since everything is good in XP
