Hi! I'm new to the forums. Glad to be here.
I would appreciate any help you could give me. I've recently built new rig because my old motherboard died and I saw the chance to upgrade. The specs:
Gigabyte H87-D3H
i5 4570
NZXT HALE85 N 650W
2x4GB GSkill RipjawsX (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
Zotac 660 GTX (from my old rig)
1TB Wester Digital SATA III HDD
A couple of days after I assembled it, it started to freeze, then shut down after a few minutes past the freeze. My first thought was a bad memory stick, procced to test it with memtest, goldmemory and even windows built in testing software just to see that the sticks were ok.
Then I though about memory timings and procced to enable XMP through UEFI bios menu. I tested all posible values listed in CPUZ but the computer continues to froze. I have also tested the rig without the 660 and got a hard lock. With an old HDD it also froze. So I get all new components to RMA and they told me that was a faulty motherboard so they gave me a new Gigabyte (same model).
Procced to install the new motherboard and after a couple of minutes it froze againt. Disabled integrated graphics to avoid conflicts between the 660 and the intel 4600. Keeps freezing. I even tried to rise DRAM voltage to 1.65v (as stated in some posts here in the forum) but got the same result.
I also tried with an 3 years old CM Silent Pro M 500W and got the same problem.
I tried both methods to set up memory timings properly, using XMP profiles and manual.
My question is, am I missing something when seting up the memory timings? Could it be a non-RAM issue?
I am so burnt right now that I'm starting to doubt the LCD's condition. I never saw it and I don't really know if a bad DVI port from the LCD can cause this problems.
And sorry if my English is a little strange it's not my native language.
Thanks in advance. All help you could provide would be appreciated.
