RAM freeze with Extreme4-M&F3-17000cl9q-16gb

[rockybooth]

I just build a new system with the following:
asrock x79 extreme4-m
i7 3930k
gsikl f3-17000cl9q-16gbzh
ATI firepro v5800

This wsa listed as compatible on the g.skill website.

After building and installing Win8 I get a system freeze every 2-3 days.

I just ran the boot up MSFT memory test utility and it froze at 21 %. To me this says it is a memory issue.

All timing settings are the default, no overclocking.

I would appreciate some assistance.

Thanks,

C. R. Booth

Do you have the latest BIOS version? Did you enable XMP in BIOS?

Without the proper settings, the system can be unstable.

Let us know the result.

xmp

Hi - thanks for the REALLY fast response!

the load xmp option is set to auto. Is that sufficient?

more info

memory is identified as
Gskill 800mhz (ddr3-1600) 11-11-11-28
XMP1.3 profile 1 1067mhz, (ddr3-2134) 9-11-10-28

Identified as 800 where? See if the XMP option has Enable or something to that effect, if enabled it should offer the option to select a profile, select the 2133 or Profile 1 option

Identified...

Identified in the bios screen. As I mentioned, profile 1 is selected

Test one module at a time to see if one may be bad causing problems.
