Hi all,
I'm having trouble with a 4GB set of GSkill RipJaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL I ordered from NewEgg on Black Friday. I can't get it to come out of hibernation properly. If it doesn't blue screen immediately, it will lock up hard within a minute.
My other set of memory does not have this problem.
System details:
MSI 790GX-GD65 mainboard - on supported list
500W Antec power supply
Phenom II X4 945 Revision RB-C3
Onboard graphics and/or Sapphire 4830
2x 500GB drives in RAID 1
Win7 Ultimate
The weirdest thing:
With all 4 sticks of memory in, I went 24 hours with Prime95 and another 24 with Memtest. So it's just something weird when coming out of hibernation. (Yes, I reset the size of the hibernate file too.)
What I've tried:
Leaving old memory in - works great
Both sets of memory in - *BSOD*
2x Gskill sticks - *BSOD*
1x Gskill stick (each one separately) - *BSOD*
I've loosened the timings, slowed the memory down to 1066 speeds, upped the voltages, waved a rubber chicken over the chassis both in a clockwise and counter-clockwise direction, swapped slot of the memory, and so on.
Any further thoughts or ideas? I'm stumped & thinking it's time to RMA
