all drivers up-to date: still getting BSODs

Change the 'CPU NB VID' to 1.300v and run the memtest86+ again.

Looks like you are getting less errors than last time, this voltage should stabilize it.


Just looked up your RAM, it is for an Intel CPU X58 motherboard.
Sometimes Intel RAM will run on an AMD board and sometimes (most of the time) it won't.
Best thing you can do is return this for AMD optimized RAM.
If returning the RAM is going to be difficult, we can try to get it stable, but may need to come back to this.

Hope the 'CPU NB VID' voltage bump helps.

Problem with the Geil RAM listed in the Gigabyte Memory Support list is that it's not the same as your RAM.

Yours is GV36GB1600C8TC

The Gigabyte list is GV32GB1600C8DC


Let us know the memtest86+ results.

bad news It's set to 1.3 V but again Memtest errors even already after 30 minutes

What I really don't understand is the fact, that about 2 month ago I could run memtest for a whole night without having any errors, and now....

GV36 iso GV32 should be 2 GB vs 6 GB
TC iso DC should be double vs Triple

I guess... so this seems to be the same serie only the nr of GBs is differemt?

First, change the 'DRAM Voltage Control' to 1.550v.

Second, You need to run memtest86+ as detailed in this tutorial, RAM - Test with Memtest86+
When you run memtest86+ you are looking for bad RAM cards, bad motherboard slots, so you need to follow the testing procedure in the tutorial.

Number the RAM cards, mark with tape, and right down the tests done with which card in which motherboard slot.
Run the test with one card installed at a time, start with card #1 in slot #1. If you get any errors you can stop the test and move to the next step.
If you get errors with card #1, write down the info, run the same card in slot #2.
If you still get errors, run a different card, card #2, in slot #1.
If you get errors, move card #2 to slot #2, etc.

Be methodical and write down the results, then post your progress here.

Another option is to install some different RAM, if you have some or can borrow, then run memtest86+ to check for errors.

As for the RAM part numbers, the 6&2 aren't so important, but the TC and DC are.
On the Geil site they have a motherboard compatible list, only Intel x58 motherboards are listed. This means the RAM is optimized for Intel x58 motherboards.
Although it is possible (but not always possible) to get Intel RAM to run on an AMD motherboard, it may be a very long process and may come up with more errors again later. It may not ever be stable.

You're welcome, Glad it's running stable.

Come back in another 4-5 days and let us know if it's still running stable and we'll mark the thread solved.

Your Welcome, glad to hear it's running stable.

Thanks for the feed back, enjoy your system.
