Hi,
Motherboard : GA-MA790XT-UD4P Rev 1.0 Bios version F9b
Graphic card : Gainward Geforce 670 gtx 2GB
CPU : AMD Phenom II X4 945 (AM3)
Memory : G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 GB 1333Mhz / F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL CL9-9-9-24 1.50V (Problem)
2x 2GB Corsair 1333Mhz CL9-9-9-24 1.50 V (No Problem)
So I had a ripjaws 4GB 1333Mhz that I needed to RMA after 10 months of use because it caused a lot of BSOD and memory corruption (can't even install windows 8 from USB without a BSOD) and memtest detected error on it.
It was running with 2x 2Gb Corsair with exactly the same specs and timings.
So G.SKILL changed mine with the same. It worked like a charm for 2 days and then after a reboot I couldn't boot again with the Ripjaws on the motherboard.
I can't even access the Bios. The motherboard is beeping for ever (beep-long silence-beep-long silence-...) and the screen stay black. I search for the meaning of the beeps in the manual of the MB, but it seems to indicate "Graphic card not inserted properly" (????) and works perfectly if I remove the stick, it works perfectly
So I tried to change the slots, the timings, with 1,2 or 3 sticks, downgrade to 1066, reset Bios to factory, up a little the CPu-NB Voltage, and a lot of other things, and none worked...
So if anyone has a clue, I will take it ...
Is the brand new Lifetime warranty Memory G.Skill sent me already Dead and need RMA again ? (While my 2 other corsair work like a charm for the past 5 years...)
Thanks in advance
