Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 DELUXE
Memory: F3-17600CL7D-4GBPIS (8GB total - 4x2GB)
Processor: i7-2600K @ 3.40 GHz
Instead of laboring myself with typing ongoing research into the issues I've been having, here is a chat log with ASUS techs from the last couple of days. Assistance is appreciated.

I've already tinkered around with different frequencies to no avail. The jumpers are where they should be. Removing all but one module results in the same behavior of the memory detected as 1333Mhz under all settings set to Auto. I have since called ASUS and they recommended that I check with G.Skill.

- Whenever the computer has been off for a long period of time, pressing the power
button on the computer's causes everything to power up and then turn off about four
seconds later. After pressing the case's power on button again, the computer will get
beyond where it normally turned off, then take about 1 minute 30 seconds to POST at
the blue / gray ASUS screen. Keyboard input is haulted and Q-Code "64" displayed on
the motherboard during this waiting period. After this wait period is over, the computer
proceeds into Windows without issue. Uptime and overall stability is fine. If I decide
to restart the computer at any point, I again have to wait around 1 minute and 30
seconds to POST.
- The computer will not POST when using the default / detected XMP settings (at 2133.
My memory is rated at 2200 when BIOS / the motherboard only seems capable of
running 2133. In order to get the computer to POST, I must use the MemOK
button.
As a side note (perhaps unrelated to anything), the 1053 BIOS did resolve a problem
of incorrect memory detection (BIOS and Windows were detected 4 GB instead of 8
GB). However, the above two issues persisted with the older / original BIOS.

I suspect the system was searching the correct timing and voltage of the memory modules to make the system POST.
Please press Memok button to make the system POST firstly, enter the BIOS, save and exit for a test.
About 2200, if you only use one memory modules, can you get 2200MHZ?

After shutting the computer down, I turned it on and then held the MemOK button
(holding the button down when powered off didn't do anything).
Once it powered up, it when to POST quickly with the message stating that MemOK
was successful and press F1 to enter setup.
After entering setup, I checked the memory detection and noticed that the Target
DRAM Speed was set (by BIOS presumably) to 1333MHz (which I think is the standard
speed for the motherboard).
I also noticed that my XMP settings remained intact with the correct voltages and
timing set (as indicated by my memory manufacturer). Also, every other setting is set
to Auto (which it was before).
I then restarted. There was an audible chirp from the buzzer at POST, which occurs
every time (not sure if this means anything).
Upon reboot, I then performed a normal shutdown with Windows and let the computer
sit for 10 minutes. I then powered it on again, eight seconds past (not 1:30, yay!) and
then it chirped and booted.
This issue seems to be fixed for now - thanks for your help. The only minor
annoyance is the double ASUS BIOS screens, but I heard that was being repaired in
an upcoming BIOS release.
Regarding the DDR3 2200 memory support, do you know if ASUS plans to match what
it advertises?

...DDR3 2200 is listed, yet my sticks do not work and the speed is not listed in BIOS
from the drop-down list.
Thanks for your help!

This morning, after my computer had been off for about eight hours, I pressed the
power button.
The motherboard received power for a split second and then turned off. It was so
quick, Q-Codes were not even displayed.
The computer then automatically restarted itself. It posted within 8 seconds (as before
with the fix) and then presented an error:
"USB Over Current Status Detected"
...and then it shut itself off.
Upon manually turning the computer back on, the same issue occurred with the split
second power on / off. And then when it restarted itself, it took 1 minute 30 seconds to
post (AHHH! - back to square one). and then went straight into Windows without any
issue. It seems as though the original behavior / problem has resurfaced.
Do you have any idea of what the problem could be? Also, any idea about ASUS
supported the DDR3 2200 speed as advertised?

You have pinouts on your motherboard called usb power. These have jumpers on them. Please check to see if any of them have come off.
Please enter BIOS>Ai Tweaker>Memory Frequency and adjust the frequency manually.
If it is not helpful, could you please try one memory module to check the speed in BIOS?
