Blue screen error..plz i need help

[Zan03]

hi carl, here is the chkdsk info that i get

 

[CarlTR6]

Looks like there are no problems with the file system and no bad sectors on the hard drive. I didn't really think the hard drive of the file were a problem.

Go ahead and run Memtest again from a cold boot.

 

[Zan03]

Hi carl, i did memtest and indeed it reports error..i test individual sticks and found one with errors.may i know if ram error cause other hardware or programs to be corrupted or condemned..im surprised that i just exchange my ram with my distributor and the guy told me it was a tested one..

 

[CarlTR6]

Bad RAM can cause many different symptoms; but it is unlikely that it will damage any thing. RAM errors can also be caused by a faulty memory controller (motherboard), RAM not compatible with the motherboard, RAM sticks not compatible with each other, or even a failing power supply. However, since one stick is showing errors, odds are you a a faulty RAM stick.

hi again carl,i had contacted my ram distributor and they have a tested and working ram for me right now but they told me that to run memtest for ram that i have rite now in 1333mhz ram setting just to make sure if the ram is working cause sometimes some extreme memory modules need to change some bios setting or oc abit to make it run smoothly, i have tried doing some research on this and most ppl says to update my bios.Btw carl do u have any friends who is an expert on asus mobo and gskill ram that could help me out on this..thanks

ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Forum- EZ Flash 2 - the safest way to update BIOS


hi carl,this is a link for flashing bios..i dont understand the installation of the new bios part.can i install the update to a cdrom then go to bios and start flashing?

 

[CarlTR6]

Yes, you can. In fact, flashing from a CD or a USB stick is the safest way to flash.

I will ask the hardware gurus to look at this thread and give you guidance with setting voltages and the like. We may not get an immediate response since this is Christmas Eve. But we will get help.

With EZFlash2 click on the EZFlash bar at top. It's really simple I have used it several times. ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

Thanks, Eric.

Your RAM will not run at 1.65v without causing possible problems.
No RAM will with a P55 board unless in XMP mode.
Your RAM is NOT XMP Ram.
The maximum voltage suggested by INTEL is 1.5v. so the CPU isn't damaged.

It does not need to run at 1.65v for long life and stability of the system.

I have the same motherboard as you with Crucial Ballistic 1600.
It runs at about 1440 and stock voltages.
It is set at AUTO.

For the time being at least go into Bios and open the Ai Tweaker Tab

Set everything as in this picture below.

Specifically the DRAM Voltage setting to Auto - second part of picture in the middle.

If they are already AUTO you are good to go.

What is your current BIOS version?
Your motherboard website is showing a lot of new BIOS versions correcting RAM issues. I would update it if you don't have the latest version, 1502.

It's not un-common to get no errors on one memtest86+ run and then errors if you run it again. This is for the same reason that you don't get BSoDs every minute your computer is running.
Sometimes the RAM errors can be corrected by adjusting the settings.
Did you follow this tutorial?
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Can you download CPUZ and post a snip of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs.

For posting the information , enter 'Snipping tool' in the Start button > Search box, hit enter. Select the area you want to post and save to a convenient place.

Have you been checking your temperatures?

Use Real Temp or Speed Fan, run one of these and check the CPU temps when at idle, under load and/or testing.
Let us know the minimum and maximum temps you get.

ASUS P7P55D-E Pro manual page 3-20.
Go to your BIOS and get the DRAM voltage and IMC voltage, post them here.
Intel strongly recommends these two voltages be kept within 0.5v of each other, to prevent damage to the CPU.

Hi Dave, my bios version is currently 1302 and yes i did what was instructed from memtest and found 1 stick of ram has error.. i will sent my ram back for a new and tested one from my distributor but as u can see from my previous post i had change my set of rams b4..since u stated that ram errors could be corrected by the right setting..should i attempt to update my bios version b4 i change this set of ram.As for CPUZ, CPU temp and voltage i will update u soon when i have the time

 

[Dave76]

Before you send the RAM back again, post the CPUZ snips, you might need to adjust a couple of settings.


Your next BIOS version fixes some SpeedStep issues, this would be worth upgrading.

 

[Zan03]

Hi Dave , here is the snip of CPUZ that u needed.thanks

 

[Dave76]

CPUZ shows you are overclocking, How are you overclocking your system?

Adjusting settings in BIOS?

Are you using ASUS TurboV EVO or Auto Tuning?

Are you using the D.O.C.P. for the RAM?

These OC tools will sometimes work on very small OC but, usually set too much voltage and other settings incorrectly.

How did you get the RAM to 1600 MHz?
It will default to 1333 MHz.


Go to your BIOS and check the voltages and post them here for:
Current CPU Core Voltage
Current IMC Voltage
Current DRAM Voltage

In your BIOS go to 'AI Tweaker', scroll down on first page for this info.

With this info, we can see what happened to the CPU and RAM settings.

Using any of these "Auto Overclocking" tools are likely the cause of your crashes.

 

[Zan03]

i am using xmp profile under ai tweaker and it auto adjust the voltage..i have tried setting it back to default 1333mhz but still errors on memtest and bsod for memory management.does this shows i got bad ram?

 

[Dave76]

The possibilities are the settings need to be adjusted or bad RAM.

Getting no errors, then getting errors on another test indicate your settings are in need of tweaking.
Getting errors on new RAM indicates the possibility of settings issues.

It is possible to get two sets of bad RAM, but I would adjust the settings to be sure.


When you turn off XMP does the CPUZ CPU tab 'Bus Speed' go back to 133 MHz?

Post the voltages:

Go to your BIOS and check the voltages and post them here for:
Current CPU Core Voltage
Current IMC Voltage
Current DRAM Voltage

In your BIOS go to 'AI Tweaker', scroll down on first page for this info.

 

[Zan03]

Hi Dave,

THe voltages when xmp profile is on:
Cpu core voltage - Auto
Current CPU core voltage - 1.152
IMC voltage - Auto
Current IMC voltage-1.162
DRAM voltage -1.600
Current DRAM voltage - 1.600

When i load default setting
CPU Core Voltage - Auto
Current CPU core voltage - 1.152
IMC voltage - Auto
Current IMC voltage-1.162
DRAM voltage -Auto
Current DRAM voltage - 1.600

And here is a snip of CPUZ when i load default setting

 

[Dave76]

Leave it on default settings.

Manually change the IMC voltage to 1.2v.

Change the RAM 'Command Rate' to 2T.

Run memtest86+ again.

Let us know the results.

 

[Zan03]

Hi Dave, setting to default will leave it on auto setting and i cant find where is ram command rate.
