Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
Mother board: ASRock P67 Pro3 (B3) - UEFI P1.90 (5/13/2011)
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
System tests passed
Memtest 86+ 20+ passes with both modules in the banks at base clock.
IntelBurnTest 30+ passes with the CPU clocked at 4.3GHz.
Prime95 6+ hours blend passed with the CPU clocked at 4.3GHz.
Problem 1
The first problem I have ran into are random 124-BSoDs when I clock my 2500k to 4.3GHz (x43) with the memory at specification timings (9-9-9-24-2N), voltage (1.5v) and speed (1600MHz). Any activity that keeps the multiplier at max seems to be enough to allow my system to run for many hours, but if I let it rest for a while, it gets cranky. Multiple hours of idling will almost always turn out into a bsod while I've had it occur during minor usage (such as folder opening or simple web browsing) from time to time too. To summarize, it occurs completely random when the computer isn't doing much.
I have tried most if not every sensable thing I have come accross on Google and your forums but still haven't found a solution. One thing left to try is to find out if either of the memory modules is malfunctioning, so I decided to give it a try with just one of the two modules in the banks (as I suspect the dual channel might require more than the default voltage) - this brings us to the second problem which is the one I require assitance with before I can confirm this is a memory (controller) issue.
Here are the settings used for my OC:
1 2 3 4 5
Problem 2
When I insert either one out of the two modules into the memory banks, no matter what slot it is in, the timings end up being 6-6-6-20-2T as shown below (occured during OC and during factory clock).
Below is a quick memtest I ran to confirm these timings (oddly enough, it passed).
These odd timings make it impossible for me to get an accurate test, as they're way off from the specifications. The odd thing here is that the settings in the UEFI are set as per specs (I've also tried XMP):
To make it clear, this only occurs with 1 module in the mother board, but it doesn't matter which one it is. With 2 modules, memtest reports back normally;
So how can I fix the timings for these modules so I can run a proper test? Or better, any suggestions that might resolve problem 1?
