[Daniel-H]

Hi,

Memory: 2x2GB G-Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL7
Mainboard: ASUS P5E3 Pro, BIOS 0505
CPU: Intel Q8300
OS: Win7 32bit

BIOS-Settings are to defaults (auto).

I get a lot of random BSOD:


I made a memtest and it shows me errors.

What are the correct BIOS settings to get a stable system?

Actual settings:






Thanks!

No idea ?

[GSKILL TECH]

Manually set the frequency, timings, and voltage, then retest.

[Daniel-H]

To which values?

[GSKILL TECH]

The ones on your memory, or memory packaging. If you have the RipJaws RH Series, it should be 7-7-7-21. If you have the RM Series, it should be 7-8-7-24.

Thank you

I've tried 7-8-7-24 with DRAM voltage 1.60V (written on the sticker) but still get errors with memtest...

[GSKILL TECH]

Test them one at a time to see if one module may be defective.

Thank you

I've tested them one by one without any errors (~24h tests).
As soon as i put both together (dual channel), i get errors after e view minutes...

Whats next?

[Daniel-H]

Now i've got a stable system using following settings with dual channel:
CPU Ratio Setting: 07.5
DRAM Frequency: DDR3-1333Mhz
DRAM Voltage: 1.60

Well, it's not FSB400, but better than BSOD all the time...

[GSKILL TECH]

You may need to increase FSB Termination Voltage to stabilize CPU FSB 400.

Thank you
