G.Skill Support.
I’ve been trying to troubleshoot an issue now for 3+ weeks. I’m thinking my issue may be RAM related and I’m hoping you can help.
System:
Asus – Z9PE-D8 WS
Processors: Intel – Xeon 2687w (2x)
Memory: G.Skill, Ripjaw Z series, 8x8(64GB) 1866, 14900, 9,9,9,24
Coolers: Corsair H100i (2x)
Windows 7 64 Ultimate.
SSD’s: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB for OS, another 840 Pro for Users, Profile
Power Supply: EVGA NEX1500
The error that keeps coming up is ASUS Q-Code 22. "Pre-memory PCH initialization has started".
I’ve had 3 different motherboards through RMA process. In addition, I’ve not only reset the CMOS, but I’ve tried installing a new CMOS chip from ASUS. And this error comes up every time. I'm using the latest BIOS, 3302
The system seems to run fine, but I have not yet really tested the system. It runs very basic things fine like email and internet browsing. I have yet to install my core programs and use the system for its intended purpose because I’m trying to resolve the 22 error first. I don’t want to get to a critical point and have some memory related error killing my work.
I’ve seen other forums discuss this "Pre-memory PCH initialization has started" issue and the reason I’m concerned is that on other forums people with this error can’t even boot their system. I’m able to boot the system every time, but I’m concerned I may be sitting on a time bomb since others find this error with terrible circumstances.
BIOS Settings: I have tried setting everything to AUTO. I have tried manually setting the timings to factory settings: 9,9,9,24. I have also tried manually setting the voltage to factory settings: 1.5V. This board’s BIOS doesn’t have a specific X.M.P. setting, but setting to AUTO is supposed to enable XMP is available. I haven’t tried alternate timings or voltages yet. I was hoping to get some suggestions from this forum.
