Getting Lot of BSODs after assembling a PC

acerulz · Jun 19, 2013

Hello people ,
i have assembled a new PC with following specs :

1)Athlon X2 270
2)Asus M4A88T-M
3)Sapphire 5870 1Gb
4)G.Skill 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600MHz) CL9-9-9-24 Triple Channel kit
5)Gigabyte Superb E620
6) LG lightscribe DVD writer

i Installed windows 8 and tried windows 7 too , but after installing few drivers it used to BSODs and some unknown errors i.e Memory Management, System Exception etc etc.
i Dunno what might be the root cause of it , as much i remember Mobo supports the Ram as i saw in QVL List before buying and it works fine too..
can anyone throw some light on this matter , sorry if i posted at the wrong place as its my first post!

pull the ram. put 1 stick in. boot up.

Tradesman1 · Jun 19, 2013

DRAM needs to be set up correctly, the 270 needs extra voltage and prob timing adjustments to try and run 1600 sticks, also with three sticks setup will be a bit harder, see you mentioned 'tri-channel' which the AMD's can't run, with three sticks you'll be running single channel, dropping to two stick will enable dual channel...what's the model number of the set and we can prob get them running

sorry for the late reply though as when i posted the question itself it was 1.30 in morning ,

The ram model is gskil f3-12800cl9t-6gbnq

Tradesman1 · Jun 19, 2013

No problem, let's try the sticks in slots 1-2-3, set initially to 1333, base timings at 9-9-9-24, CR (Command rate or Command timing) to 2n or 2T (may be at 1 T or N), DRAM voltage 1.55, CPU/NB voltage 1.3 and give that a try, we'll try to get them running stable and then try OCing to get them to 1600

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

as u mentioned m actually running the RAMs at 1333 only never tried going above it and base timings is set at 9-9-9-24 as i checked CPU-Z for it

Tradesman1 · Jun 20, 2013

You already have a head start then, how are voltages, at/near what I mentioned?

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

sorry for my noob question though as in BIOS where will be the options for setting the voltage, m totally inexperienced in this stuff so dont have a clue where to look for !

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

i was able to find the DRAM voltage it was set to auto and there is no option as CPU/NB voltage but there is one as VDDNB Over Voltage .. will changing that help ?

Tradesman1 · Jun 20, 2013

Yep give it a try, just take it up a bit, not much, not sure what increments it allows

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

yeah i tried increasing both with VDDNB as 1.2 and DRAM voltage 1.5 it looks fine till now but any games am trying to run doesnt pop up but in task mgr shows its running !

Tradesman1 · Jun 20, 2013

Sorry don't understand your post

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

i have set the VDDNB Voltage to 1.2 and DRAM Voltage to 1.4 now and the system looks fine till now , but now a problem is if i try to play a game like Battlefield 3 , the Task Manager shows its running but the Window for the game never shows up ..

Tradesman1 · Jun 20, 2013

Can you do an ALT-TAB , does anything happen. Does it show as an Icon on the bottom of the desktop, i.e. opening in a minimized state. Have you tried a higher or lower screen resolution to see if it's off the side of your screen. Might also try a reboot if you haven't already

swifty_morgan · Jun 20, 2013

post a link to the exact ram. lots of AMD systems won't run with 1.5v ram........properly.

as a matter of fact, link all hardware so we can get an exact idea as to what you have.

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

no ALT-TAB is not helping and it doesnt show an Icon either , yeah i restarted my system twice after facing the minimising issue , but as u had mentioned before AMD Proccessors doesnt support Tri Channel Memory but in The Mobo QVL the RAM is mentioned , so should i remove 2 Gb Ram and use the system with 4 Gb, as 4GB will be running in Dual Channel and 2 GB in single Channel ??

this is the link for the RAM www.gskill.com/products.php?index=110‎

Tradesman1 · Jun 20, 2013

Yes can give that a try on removing a stick, if so may want to do a CMOS reset

Swifty_Morgan

1.5 is the standard voltage for DDR3 per JEDEC standards...are you AMD systems need over volted DRAM? There was no low voltage when DDR3 came out.

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

i removed a RAM and its working fine but that game problem exists still , only with Battlefield 3 as few others are working now !

Tradesman1 · Jun 20, 2013

Strange, saw something like that before and can't remember the cause, want to say it was in the registry, I'll think about it tonight.

swifty_morgan · Jun 20, 2013

Tradesman1 :

unless the board has to have 1.65v memory which I've ran across before..............

Tradesman1 · Jun 20, 2013

Might be an AMD thing, but the standard for DDR3 is 1.5 except with high freqs

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

hey like how can i find if its a faulty ram , is it only possible by memtest86 , like how the system will perform when a faulty ram is used ?

Tradesman1 · Jun 20, 2013

Windows has built in Memory diagnostics programs go to start, type MDSCHED in the search box, then hit enter, select Restart now and check for problems....if any come up, would then narrow it down , doing same on a stick by stick basis....Same with Memtest, a stick at a time, but prob only 4-5 passes

acerulz · Jun 20, 2013

yea i did the built in one with standard mode and it did not show any errors after the test , should i try the extended mode too ?

swifty_morgan · Jun 20, 2013

gonna give a precise list of the hardware or what?
