    BSOD Memory Management on Cold boot


    I have recently bought new RAM and since I have some BSOD at cold boot. After the first BSOD, the computer is stable but the first boot (cold) will always fail.
    I have done the Windows Memory Management succesfully but not MemTest yet.
    I am sure both tests will fail on cold boot but I did not try yet.

    Here are my specifications :
    i7-860 (no OC)
    Asus P7P55D
    AD3U1600W4G11-2 [DDR3 PC3-12800 4GB]

    As wrotten on the manual of my motherboard, I placed the RAM on the blue slots. I have also tested just one RAM and I had the same BSOD.

    For the voltage, I tried the default setting Auto for the RAM then I tried to set it to 1.5V and 1.55V(according to the RAM manual, it should be 1.5V) without any success. I read about memory timing but I am not sure to understand how to set it correctly. Except theses changes, my BIOS uses default values and I have updated it to the latest version.

    I wonder why it only happens on cold boot. Is there something I can do about it ? The RAM is not listed on the supported RAM in the manual because it is an old motherboard, is it a compability problem ?

    Oro mate run this RAM - Test with Memtest86+ as it says you need to make a bootable disk or stick set the BIOS to boot from that source and you must run it for at least 8 passes or you may as well not bother. It does not involve Windows so it will boot ok.
    See my pic for what you are looking for and if errors come up straight away then you can stop the test and then proceed to isolate the bad stick/s

    Thank you but I solved my problem.
    I rearranged my sticks, push the MemTest button on my motherboard, cleared the CMOS, updated to the latest BIOS version and everything seems OK now.
