Hello,
I am hoping to get some assistance with solving my issues when attempting to use 8GB of the above RAM, in 4*2GB sticks.
Memory: F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D-E Pro
Processor: Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz
When I run 2x2GB, for 4GB total, I do not have a problem.
When I add the additional 2 modules, I start running into trouble.
The BIOS is correctly detecting the 8GB of RAM. I have set the profile to XMP, and am using the 7-8-7-24 1.6V settings that this puts into place.
I have run memtest on each stick individually, and they all test out good with no errors. I have reseated each module to make sure they are in correctly.
I was originally blue screening when attempting to load into Windows 7 64 bit. I have now managed to get the OS to boot, but after signing into Windows 7, I am unable to run certain applications: for example, Firefox 32 bit, or Google Chrome. If I try to run IE 64 bit, that works - but IE 32 bit does not. Most of the applications produce an error when I attempt to open them, although some do not.
The total available RAM on display in Windows 7 is 8GB.
I've tried making small incremental changes to the voltages, thus far without success: it either blue screens when loading the OS again, or I am still unable to open certain applications in Windows.
I am using the most recent version of the BIOS, 1603. I reset the BIOS via removing the battery after flashing it.
It seems like there is a setting somewhere which is incorrect. I am hoping someone can tell me what it is.
