F3-17000CL9D-8GBSR and AMD gigabyte

[ecourt]

memory is F3-17000CL9D-8GBSR
8gb of Gskill sniper

When I run this 8GB of ram, Ihave tried several different combinations of slots, they recommend slots 3 and 4 for performance, with no luck

issues I have are random lock-ups and very occasional blue-screens.

mother board is a GA-890FXA-UD5 rev 2.1
processor is a am3+ Phenom II x4 965 3.4 GHZ (Quad core)

This board does not support XMP that I can tell, and it is running the latest bios available.

I'm going to reboot after this post, and grab the voltages and timings, It is currently set for AUTO on both

voltages:
DDR - .750
DRAM - 1.510 v

timings
Clock X8 = 1600
CAS # = 11T
RAS TO CAS DELAY = 11T
ROW PRECHARGE = 11T
MIN RAS ACTIVE = 28T
TWTR = 6T
TRFC = 160 NS
WRITE RECOVERY = 12T
PRECHARGE TIME = 6T
ROW CYCLE = 39T
RAS TO RAS DELAY = 5T

BANK INTERLEAVING = ON
CHANNEL INTERLEAVING = ON

Have you tried one module at a time to see if each is stable ?

Thank you

running on 4GB now, we'll see if one stick might be bad.

I can usually induce a crash by running email, web-browsing, and borderlands 2

Try adding about + 0.05 to DRAM voltage and + 0.1 to CPU/NB voltage

I haven't tried upping the voltage, but... I pulled 1 dimm out, ran for 2 hours, and crashed.
I swapped dimm's and have been running for 3 days with no issues.

I'm starting to think I might have a bad one

Yep, send it in for RMA exchange:
