having a heck of a time to get all 4 sticks (8gb) working on this new computer with windows 7 home premium 64-bit. Memtest86 reports everything is fine but when starting into windows I'll get everything from bluescreens to just reboots to it just stalling out. With only 2 sticks in (4gb) everything appears to work fine. Even with 3 sticks it seems to work. As soon as I put the 4th one in things stop working.
Currently I haven't overclocked anything although I want to overclock the processor some once I get this figured out.
Pretty much everything in bios is set to defaults. I did override the timings to 8-8-8-21 since it defaulted to 9-9-9-24.
Closest related post I could find is here. It appears I need to increase the MCH Core voltage since this is 4 sticks. as well as the core voltage as well. What should I increase them to so it's stable and without the memory spontaneously combusting since it already seems to run hot.
I played with the voltages and got one setting that got me to at least boot into windows with 8gb but bluescreened shortly thereafter.
Motherboard: GA-EP45T-UD3LR
Memory: 2 pair of F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK (total of 4 2gb modules)
OS: windows 7 home premium 64 bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz @3.0GHz (plans are overclocking to around 3.5GHz)
Here's my current settings (most are just at auto and I have 4gb in at the moment)
Performance Enhancer - Standard
XMP - Disabled
(g)MCH frequency latch - auto
system memory multiplier - auto
dram timing schedule - manual
(the number outside the []s is what the motherboard says and inside the []s is what it's set to)
CAS Latency time - 9 [8]
tRCD - 9 [8]
tRP - 9 [8]
tRAS - 24 [21]
CPU
load-line calibration - [disabled]
cpu vcore - 1.26250 [auto]
cpu termination - 1.200 [auto]
cpu pll - 1.550 [auto]
cpu reference - 0.805 [auto]
MCH/ICH
mch core - 1.100 [auto] (I have tried 1.2 and 1.3 I think)
mch reference - 0.760 [auto]
ich i/o - 1.550 [auto]
ich core - 1.100 [auto]
DRAM
dram voltage - 1.500 [auto] (I have tried 1.6 and others)
dram termination - 0.750 [auto]
There was some combination of dram voltage and mch core that got me to boot into windows but I couldn't replicate it.
