LOL, more BOSD's since I last posted and very frequently. So I was ready to RMA the RAM. But first off to cover all angles, I made a thread in the Corsair forums about this matter and got a reply back about changing the QPI voltage, increasing it till there is no more BSOD's.
I have never worried about overclocking this system as its too complex and beside that I have the Sata 3 SSD and fast CPU and am satisfied with the present speed.
So I did a search for references to my RAM and MB in the Corsair forum and found a link to this explanations for BSOD's
Most of the BSOD error codes I have experienced are referenced below. What I have done is go to the RAM settings and set them as stock standard settings and raised the RAM voltage till there was no more BSOD's.
If there is no more BSOD's in the next 24hrs, I will then run memtest to see if I am still getting faulty memory.
BSOD Codes for i7 x58 chipset
0x101 = increase vcore
0x124 = increase/decrease QPI/VTT first, if not increase/decrease vcore...have to test to see which one it is
0x0A = unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase vcore
0x1A = Memory management error. It usually means a bad stick of Ram. Test with Memtest or whatever you prefer. Try raising your Ram voltage
0x1E = increase vcore
0x3B = increase vcore
0x3D = increase vcore
0xD1 = QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary, can also be unstable Ram, raise Ram voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
0x109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage
0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)
0x7E = Corrupted OS file, possibly from overclocking. Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r
BSOD Codes for SandyBridge
0x124 = add/remove vcore or QPI/VTT voltage (usually Vcore, once it was QPI/VTT)
0x101 = add more vcore
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency add DDR3 voltage or add QPI/VTT
0x1E = add more vcore
0x3B = add more vcore
0xD1 = add QPI/VTT voltage
“0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances”
0X109 = add DDR3 voltage
0x0A = add QPI/VTT voltage
Please feel free to comment, advise, correct, and add to this list. I am not the original author and will not take credit for it. I simply thought that it should be posted by itself. I am only repeating the info that I got here at OCN. This is currently for Intel i7 systems, but I would like for everyone to help me set it up for other systems as well.
Thanks, just giving back,
