Hello,
Here is the configuration of my new computer:
+ Model of the motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (Intel X58 Express)
+ Model of the memory: G.Skill PI Series 4 Go (kit 2x 2 Go) DDR3-SDRAM PC3-17600 = F3-17600CL7D-4GBPIS
+ Model of the CPU: Intel Core i7 950 - Quad Core Socket 1366 QPI 4.8 GT/s Cache L3 8 Mo 0.045 ?m 64bits
+ OS: MICROSOFT Windows 7 Home Premium N, installed in 32 Bit
+ Harddrive: WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar Black WD1002FAEX, 1.0TB, SATA III
+ Power supply: Thermaltake Toughpower XT Cable Management 775W
The problem is that the computer would either:
- crash at system boot or while in use (Windows 7), with a blue screen
- freeze at boot
- freeze in use (Windows 7), with only the mouse moving but not responding at click, and all applications windows frozen and CTRL+ALT+DEL not responding
I would like to understand if this is due to bad RAM configuration in the BIOS or if it is a faulty RAM stick (in which case I will return asap, but still will need guidance on RAM tuning in the BIOS for the next couple of RAM!).
All I want to have is a stable computer!
Can anyone please advise the settings I should use in the BIOS for processor and RAM parameter (and how)?
Sorry, I'm new in these kind of tweaking, so please be detailled.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Guy.
