Random BSOD - ASUS P7P55D LE Nightmare

[Hubbo]

I have been getting random BSOD every since I upgraded my hardware, including:

ASUS P7P55DE LE
Intel i7 860
2 x kits of G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL (ie. 4 x 2 GB DDR3 = 8gb).

Other specs include:

ASUS GTX260 (series 1)
G.Skill 256gb SSD
Western Digital 250gb HD.
SATA DVD burner.
Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

I have all the latest drivers for motherboard and graphics card. Flashed the motherboard, and even had the motherboard replaced!!! Reinstalled Windows, etc etc...

I've had the following BSOD in Windows 7 in the last week:

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x03b
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT 0x01a
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x50
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT 0x01a

This is getting very annoying!

If I use Memtest86+ 4.0 with each stick of ram, or altogether I generally don't find any errors, BUT if I run Memtest86+ 4.0 directly after a BSOD crash I find errors! Is the ram failing?

I've had a big argument with the dealer and they are not very helpful, plus I live 3 hours away, and they don't answer emails or phones.

I have also recently bought another kit of DDR3 G.Skill ram where 1 stick was D.O.A. (was replaced by another dealer). and a G.Skill 64gb SSD that was D.O.A. (again, replaced by another dealer). What is going on G.Skill????? I just can't replace this ram because of the stupid dealer!

I am not, nor have overclocked any of this hardware - all running at stock speeds. The BIOS seemed to detect everything ok, plus I've overridden some settings just in case with the ram set to:

1333mhz 9-9-9-24 2N @ 1.5v.

What else can I do? Should I request a RMA?
Will an RMA request replace my RAM or refund?
If the ram is failing do I send all 4 sticks????

I've had Memtest86+ errors at 6477mb, 5469.1mb, and 5461.8mb (I wrote some of these down from last time), does anybody know which modules on the ASUS P7P55DE LE motherboard these might be?

Thanks in advanced.

Fantastic.... ignored by dealer, ignored by GSKILL...

Is there a point to these forums? What the hell do I do?????

MORE BSOD:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0A
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT 0x01A
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x50

And... 0x7E on dxgmms1.sys...

[Hubbo]

Again, wonder if this is faulty ram, or just an issue with running 8gb (4 modules)?

I'm going to run just 4gb for a while and see how that goes... Any tips on improving stability for 8gb (if that is the issue) - what timings to change, etc????

[repman]

You are right to run 4gigs first. It is Win7 64bit, right and what are your other RAM settings also your voltages?

[Hubbo]

Yes Windows 7 64bit (Ultimate).

Ram settings are:

9-9-9-24 2N @ 1.5V

Anything else needed?

[repman]

Your dram panel what are the timings after 9 9 9 24 I am not as familiar with your board as a Gigabyte main

[repman]

Have you tried 9 9 9 27 2 5 160ns if it has that setting or below that 3 10 5 33 4
DDR3 volts 1.8 sb/ht 1.4 nb1.100 and cpu volts to 1.4 that runs 8 gigs on my mobo with a AMD 955 cpu set from stock 3.2-3.8

[repman]

Also running 8gigs was a problem for AMD users because of the C2 stepping cpu and has been corrected with C3 stepping but I had no problem with 4 gigs even at GSkill factory specs at 1600. What have you found out from Intel about any updates concerning your cpu?

[Hubbo]

Ok, here are specs/settings taken directly from BIOS:

Thanks for the help Repman, but I really don't know which timings you mentioned correspond to which timings in my Bios. And are you running your ram at 1.8 volts??????? Mine should be stock at 1.5v.

Not really sure where to find the info on my Intel Chip, but I did manage to find some info regarding a new i7-860s chip - could be an update chip or new chip, not sure???? but runs 4 cores at lower turbo boost (2.5GHz versus 2.93Ghz).

[repman]

Sorry for the confusion you want to be able to manually set the timings. Also the voltage for on DDR3 put at 1.8 after your up and running bring it down 1 click at a time. Ram settings are usually hit and miss until you see where you are stable. So in the DRAM panel set to manual and change the timings to what I gave you from top to bottom. the second set of numbers like CHA and CHB you don't need to mess with. Start with your 9 9 9 settings and follow the # down. That 74 is way out of line. you won't be running the RAM at 1600 with it set to auto

[repman]

The voltages are in the first MIT panel in my BIOS

[repman]

The 74 has an ns after it the trfc ?

[repman]

If so it has to be much higher what can you set it too above 110ns

[Hubbo]

1.8volts won't cause any damage? Not too high???

Anyways, thx again, so I set the follow (still a little confused here):

1st Information: ???
DRAM CAS# Latency: 9
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay: 9
DRAM RAS# PRE Time: 9

2nd Information: ????

DRAM Round Trip Latency on CHB: Auto

3rd Information: ????

When you go to Intel put your cpu in the search for starters and see what comes up. I've work in the morning so let me know what's going on.
