Astra.Xtreme Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Personally, I'd run it at 8-8-8-24@1600Mhz at 1.65v This. And if the BSODs still persist, then it's time to file the RMA on the RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaP Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 SpeedFan 4.49 GPU: 31C System: 28C CPU: 128C HD5: 26C HD1: 30C Temp1: 28C Temp2: 30C Core 0: 13C Core 1: 12C CPU at 128 celsius ??? That's really bad. Try running RealTemp http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/ it's the most accurate when it comes to Core i5/i7 cpus from my own exp. If you are using xmp profile keep in mind that your bus speed will likely be overcloked. If you keep the multiplier at auto and turbo boost enabled the cpu will be overcloked too. It's not a problem if you have a good mother board (good ram and a good well seated after market cooler) but lot of cheap mobos have trouble with that.

daorbed9 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Strange, i've found Memtest to be pretty much bang on the money in terms of reliability. Memtest doesn't always mean its the ram's fault. You can have a compatibility issue or incorrect setting to cause it. Although its rare a bad psu can cause memtest to fail. Sometimes memory failure is a symptom not the cause.

It's wrong, from BIOS the temperature is around 35C-38C Even RealTemp shows lower temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squuiid Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I_Kaplan, have you had a chance to run with these RAM timings? 8-8-8-24@1600Mhz at 1.65v Set them in BIOS, then boot into Windows and run a Prime95 test for a while. This is a quick way to expose any instability in your system. http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squuiid Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I_Kaplan, have you had a chance to run with these RAM timings? 8-8-8-24@1600Mhz at 1.65v http://www.msi.com/service/download/manual-20924.html Page 3-19 of your manual shows you how to change RAM timings in your BIOS. I'd also highly recommend updating your BIOS to the latest release once your system is stable. Do not flash until you are sure that it is though. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87-G43.html#/?div=BIOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_over Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Did you get anywhere with this? I spoke too soon as last night i got 3 more BSODs related to memory management Corsair Memory Vengeance Blue 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz CAS 10-10-10-27 Dual Channel Desktop CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10B - 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Blue, PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 10-10-10-27, XMP, 1.5V It's a high end motherboard and most settings are set to 'auto' i read that it could be automatically overclocking the system and that i should check that the config in BIOS matches that of the memory.. I know it seems like a stupid question to ask but i dont have access to the PC right now to check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44MLX Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 It's too complicated, there are far too many settings in the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low-end Corsair, but still 500 watts on its only rail, with total of 600 at peaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

game_over Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Not sure if it will help, but looks like we were having similar issues.. I've gone into the motherboard settings and changed everything from AUTO to manual, and set it to the correct values, i'm not sure if the MOBO was overclocking the ram. I also noticed XMP was disabled, not sure what it is, but i enabled it. Finally, i found a memory performance setting that had 3 values: Normal, Extreme and Turbo, i think it was set to Extreme, i changed it to Normal. So far so good,it's been running a day without any issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you set the BIOS to use XMP, the RAM settings will auto-configure to that XMP profile leaving you with perfect RAM timings, voltage, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlueRaja Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Well i got another BSOD.. :( PNF LIST CORRUPT Mate, look at the screenshot you posted for you Memtest, the bottom right hand side shows LOADS of errors. Your memory IS screwed despite what others have said, get it replaced. http://s18.postimg.o...0p/IMG_0120.jpg You DO NOT need to edit the memory timings as they are picked up automagically by the BIOS via SPD. If everything was set to auto then thats it, nothing left to do. EDIT: Sorry Uplift, confusing you with I_Kaplan the OP, but he needs to change the memory.

After changing the DRAM Frequency from 1333 MHz to 2400 MHz my computer has not given me a BSoD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you run memetest again, (to be sure), it seems strange that by increasing DRAM frequency that you do not have errors? Also had you set the 1333Mhz manually before, you should not have had to set this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sell your 2400 sticks to some actual overclocker and get 1600 sticks instead. The marginal increase is not worth your and our precious nerve cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
