Gigabyte P67-UD3-B3 getting black screen with 8gb of ram
Hi all,
First post. Been troubleshooting a desktop we built for video editing at the office for a while, running out of ideas so I thought I'd post here to bounce some thoughts around.
The issues is the desktop will randomly BSOD or just black screen with no response, at random times doing random tasks. It is running Windows 7 64bit.
The hardware is a Gigabyte p67-UD3-B3 motherboard with an Intel i7 and 8GB (dual channel, 2x2GB) Corsair DDR3 memory (TW34G1333C9A).
I believe this to be a memory issue, as I have tested and reinstalled my drivers already. Also, I do not experience the issues when I remove one channel of 4GB of memory. It does not matter which channel, or which sticks are removed.
I have used MemTest and received no memory errors. I think the issue is possibly being cause by memory compatibility or memory bios settings.
The memory uses XMP to auto set all the settings in the bios. It appears that the settings are as they should be. Frequency at 1333, volatage 1.5v.
Corsair's website lists this ram as compatible with this motherboard. Gigabytes website does not list this memory on their compatibility list, but the 1600 version is.
Any input on what I can change in the bios to continue troubleshooting? As I said, when I am running 4GB of ram everything appears to be functioning properly, but when I add another channel of 4GB I start seeing the errors.
Thanks, and any more info that would be required to help you understand the problem just let me know!
