F3-10666CL9D-16GBXL - Freeze/Reboot

[badlou]

Crap. Hoping that would do it. No dice.

Thanks again for all your help.

Just curious, but should I have bought different DIMMs, or are the ones I have compatible? It just seems so strange that either stick works by itself, in either slot, but not two together, even with more juice.

Should be fine with the mobo, maybe the BIOS still isn't up to snuff, could drop them a line asking, in the meantime could try raising the DRAM voltage up a bit more, maybe even to 1.6 which is still safe

Increase Row Cycle Time to 40

Write Recovery Time 14

Thank you

Upping the dram voltage seemed to make it crap out sooner in the boot process.

Upping the RCT and WRT seemed to have a positive effect. Windows stayed up for almost 5 minutes but then still rebooted itself.

VDD/NB to 1.24

[badlou]

I can't set it to 1.24 but neither 1.2375 or 1.25 make a difference.

Don't know if any of these settings are relevant but I realize I didn't include them in my other post.

[badlou]

There was a bios update available for my motherboard, so I installed it and retested with various settings. Unfortunately, there was no change, it still reboots itself with both dimms in.

Will see if we can get GSkill to chime in

[badlou]

That would be great! Thanks again for all your assistance.

Have you tried 2 and 4?

Feel free to send the memory in for RMA if you continue to have problems.

Thank you

I think you are asking about slots but I am not sure.

This MB has two slots. Either of the DIMMs works fine alone. The issue is when both are in. I know the slots aren't bad as two 4GB g.skill's that i have work fine.

What is your RMA process. Can I get replacement RAM and then send in mine? Like I said, I can use one stick and have a working rig.

Thanks!
