I don't understand what RMA'ing the RAM means.
I don't know where to go to find the RAM and NB voltage, nor do i know what MCH Core is. :P
I also don't know where to see if the DRAM timings are auto or set manually.

Please explain

Edit: Also my motherboard manual says that for 2 modules to work they need to be placed in slot 1 and 3.

Return Material Authorization (RMA) means return to supplier for replacement.

The link to your motherboard in post #19, was so you can download your motherboard manual and read the section that will tell you where you can find this information.

If you don't have you motherboard manual download it and read the BIOS voltage section.
Check the motherboard version before D/L the manual. It's on the lower left corner of your motherboard.
Gigabyte P55 US3L

As mentioned already, updating your BIOS can result in leaving your motherboard non-functional.
The term used is 'Bricking' your motherboard. Because all it is good for is holding the door open, like a brick does.

Warning:
Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

Read up on how to do this, especially if you have never done it before.
If your area is prone to power outages, get or borrow a UPS - uninterruptible power supply.


From the Gigabyte Forum website:

Click here >How Do I Update My BIOS?

Take a USB pendrive and make sure it is formatted with a FAT32 file system.

Read the info on this site before you start.

Glad to hear it.

If you weren't nervous when you did it, you should have been.

Download your motherboard manual from the link above, it will help you to find the information we will need to continue.

From the manual D/L'ed from Gigabyte, go to page 33 and start reading about your BIOS.

Voltages are on page 37 & 38.

RAM timings starts on page 41. >>>>> Standard Timing Control

Look in your BIOS and post the RAM voltage and NB voltage (which is QPI/VTT ).
Check if the RAM timings are still set to "Auto".

Let us know the settings.

Your right your mobo manual says the RAM has to be in slots 1 & 3.

Set the first four RAM timings manually to 9-9-9-24 and your Command Rate (CMD) to 2, leave the rest on Auto.

The QPI/VTT is the memory controller voltage, change this to 1.14v.

DRAM Voltage to 1.55v.

Check for stability, at the next cold boot.
