Memory problem, I think

essenbe said:

How high do you have your CPU overclocked? I know boards are different, but on most 1155 boards 1.3V is only needed at 4.5 or above. I'm running 4.2 with Vcore set at 1.272 and the offset at -.020 so I'm at 1.252V in bios.

4.4 so show I just set my Vcore to auto?

essenbe said:

auto is probably not enough, but use offset and not manual to adjust the voltage. 1.3 is OK, but you are generally better off with as little vcore as you can run and be stable. The lower the vcore the less heat produced. Test with Prime95 for stability. Here is an article about overclocking your board. It will also explain the terminology of the terms in bios and what they do.

I just tried the offset and when I rebooted I got a core error, the voltage went up to 1.80, so I went back in and set it to manual and put the 1.30 back in. I don't have any heat issues the highest has been 36C

I went and set my cpu voltage to 1.28. The VCCIO I have set at 1.19375 but were the first line I guess that means the cpu itself has it at 1.212V

I haven't had any crashes or restarts. Like I said the only time I have that restart, shut off, restart is when I try to set the one timing from 8 to 7

Did you get your RAM at the same time and from the same store?
One kit or two kits? No I didn't get the last 2 sticks at the same time but I got them at the same store, newegg.com, I got the first 2 in March and the second in July or somewhere around there.

Your MemDiag test is showing errors. Yes but it's not showing errors now

Asus forum said to bump it up to 1.55.

I was able to open those .wer files in notepad

Run Memtest86+, it is a much better RAM test.


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.
Run the first memtest86+ test with all four RAM cards installed, if you get errors stop the test and then follow the procedure in the tutorial.
Sometimes errors from these tests can be corrected by adjusting the settings.
If you get any errors on any set of tests, you can stop the test and move to the next step. I ran memtest for 6 passes and no errors

RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Have you been checking your temperatures? I always keep track of temps, runs at 34 C or 35C
Use Real Temp , to check the CPU temps when at idle, under load and/or testing.
Let us know the minimum and maximum temps you get.

This is very important, with four RAM cards or 4GB RAM or more you may need to bump the integrated memory controller voltage. My cpu voltage is 1.30, Ram 1.55, but I didn't see a cpu integrated memory controller or is that the RAM one? I did bump the cpu and ram to these temps listed here.
Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU and the CPU integrated memory controller voltages are.

The Integrated Memory Controller voltage for your motherboard is VCCIO.
Check for this in your BIOS, should be in the same place as the CPU and RAM voltages.
Let us know what the VCCIO voltage is.

Is the RAM you bought in July the exact same manufacturer, model, part number, timings and frequency as the RAM you got in March?
Post the CPUZ snips of the SPD tab, one snip for the RAM you bought in March and one snip for the RAM you bought in July.

As mentioned, CPU voltage seems high, be very careful when adjusting any voltage.
Too high a voltage can damage your components, CPU, RAM, etc.

Are you having any restart or crash issues now?

okay here are the 3 screenshots

I can't open any of your links, can you post them here using the 'Paperclip' in the reply box?
Or the first point in the 'Information' box

For how to upload a screenshot or file, read here

With Vcore at 1.28v and VCCIO 1.194V, you adjusted your timings and it's stable.
You can use what you have now or lower the voltages (one at a time) a little until you get a crash, then bump it up a notch. If it's stable, you're good.
Best to get the voltages as low as possible.
I would hope you can get the VCCIO down to 1.5 to 1.7v, with DRAM at 1.55v.

Dave76 said:

Please see the correction in my last post, VCCIO voltage should be 1.15 to 1.17v or even less.
The standard default is 1.10v, I would try it at 1.150v and see if it will run stable.

Just leave your RAM timings at 8-8-7-24, you won't notice the difference.

CPUZ SPD tabs look good for all your RAM, shouldn't be any problems.

If you feel like the issue is resolved, you can mark it 'Solved'.

I lowered my ram voltage to 1.53. I will change the VCCIO to 1.15. I'm still getting the blue screen and I'm wondering if it might be my hard drive. I had the same problem a few weeks ago where it wouldn't boot and in the repair mode my os wasn't even listed, it couldn't find a os or boot file. Would a bad ram slot do that or the hard drive?
