[solved] XMP Profile does not boot the system (HyperX Predator 2400 / ASRock z77 Extreme 4M)

Giovanni Lucca · May 22, 2013

Hello guys

I recently bought a new computer:

ASRock z77 Extreme 4-M (supports ram up to 2800Mhz)
Core i7 3770K
2x 4GB Kingston HyperX 2400MHz Predator
Sandisk Extreme 240GB SSD (system)
Power Supple: Corsair 500cx

I'm having a lot of headache to make the memory work correctly ...

I did not change anything in the system bios, just change the xmp profile.
Every time I activate any xmp profile on the motherboard, the system does not boot.

My ram, processor and motherboard support the xmp profiles.
Am I doing something wrong? or have any damaged part on my computer?

On the main bios screen look at the mb bios rev. It may be a few revs older then the bios on the mb vendor web page. Most vendor have to drop updates for new CPU and ram code.

The way I understand it, is that the MOBO will generally show the RAM speeds supported by XMP as a specification without an (OC) next to it. I.E., my P8z77-V Pro shows RAM speeds of 1066/1333/1600/1800/2133 (I may not have accurate numbers just working on the fly)...etc. Generally the RAM is going to run at 1333 or 1600 by default, and those higher numbers indicate I can use the XMP profile to achieve that speed. However, my MOBO also supports 2400mhz (OC). From my understanding, I would have to manually OC the RAM to achieve these speeds, I cannot use the XMP profile.

I had the same problem. If I set using XMP I would get crashes. Although if I manually set the same exact numbers as the XMP values, stable all day.

I tried what you did without sucess!
the system doesn't boot and after 3 times I've acess to UEFI!

I tried to overclock manually, and with these settings:
2000mhz 9 9 9 24 1.65v
the system is able to boot, but sometimes I get BSOD with the following description PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. which is a memory error...

when i try to increase the memory frequency up to 2000Mhz the system does not even boot!
any clues?

I think I solved the problem ...
I just switched the slots of memory and everything worked properly.
Previously memories were in the first and third slots ... I altered their position to the second and fourth slots and everything is ok ...

why when I changed the slots worked all right?
My motherboard is faulty?

Most mb have with one or two dimms the main two ram slots. Most numbered a0 and b0. It be in your mb guild that on the cd or online.
The a1 and b1 slots are the next ram channel for more memory.
