Hello everyone, 1st post on the site. I've look all over the net but can't find what I'm looking for. I'm running an Intel DX58OG mobo with an Intel i7 950 3.07GHz processor with 2 sets of F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL (24 gigs total). I'm having bios start-up issues and intermittent shut downs (no bsod). From what I've read these problems "could" be the result of improper bios settings for the ram but "could" also be a bad mobo. I've tried troubleshooting everything in this build (5 months old with limited use of the machine) and I keep coming back to these two possibilities. I'd like to eliminate the ram settings as a possible issue before I try dealing with Intel.
I've tried enabling the XMP in the bios (yes I'm running latest bios update) but without the proper settings the machine will not post. In fact, it won't post with any other settings other than having the ram set to 1066 defaults. I've tried a few setting changes with no success (more no posts for bios) that I've seen for similar ram but i didn't know if the combo I'm using (never found an exact match of my set-up) required different settings for the ram used in a different mobo.
Once the machine loads and is up and running (other than the occasional freeze and non bsod shut down) I have no problems. I've run Windows Memory Diagnostics (took around 7 hours to complete) and found no errors. I'm just trying to eliminate this as a problem and would love to see how fast this machine could be with the proper ram settings. Plus I really don't want to wait for a swap-out of the mobo unnecessarily.
Thank you very much in advance.
