New system:
Mobo: GA-890GPA-UD3H Rev2.0 FC rev BIOS
Memory: F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
CPU: Phenom II X4 955 BE C3
HDD: WD1002FAEX (1 TB)
OS: Win 7 Ult 64 bit, Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64
The problem: Lots of BSODs related to memory issues, refusal to boot into ubuntu.
Memtest reports errors starting with test 5. Windows memory diagnostics also reports memory issues.
First set up system and set bios to optimized defaults (1333, 9-9-9-24). Problems started appearing shortly after first boot. Have spent hours scouring this tech support site to see if there is anything helpful to be tried but so far nothing has worked. For example swapping the sticks, and swapping them into slots 3 and 4.
Gigabyte tech support (after much waiting) suggested that I try running starting at 1060, but that barely even got me past boot on windows and froze during boot in linux. There is a possibility that the timings were off, since I relied on the mobo to automatically set those. In any case, no matter what settings I have used, memtest reports errors.
Is it time to RMA these, or is there something else I should be looking at?
