BSOD on new build. Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9

Bonecrushrr · Jan 5, 2014

I just built a new 4770k with 16gig of corsair memory and have been getting regular blue screens. Last night while I was sleeping I ran memtest and it completed 5 passes in 8 hours. Below are the results. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed at this point?

OK you've got a 4770K and 4 sticks of 4GB 1333 Corsair DRAM and it appears like you bought two packages of 2x4GB sticks - is this correct? IF so, any time you mix packages of DRAM it can be problematic, even with 2 of the exact same set....would suggest try running them with the DRAM voltage manually set to 1.55 or 1.6 and see if that straightens tings out first, may not be a bad stick, may just be the two sets don't want to play

Bonecrushrr · Jan 5, 2014

The CPUID shots of the SPD tab. Not even close considering the same part number. 1 of the 2 does not even have XMP.

The 2 modules with XMP alone seem to work get prime 95 stable for an hour (I know its short). The 2 modules without XMP alone start failing workers in prime after about 30 seconds. This is running 9-9-9-24 at 1.5 volts at 1333/666mhz. After reading one of your other posts I did notice the non working pair is using a tRFC of 174 while the good pair use 107

Was this two packages of 2x4GB?

Bonecrushrr · Jan 5, 2014

Yes, It was 2 separate kits of 2x4GB. I had used multiple kits before and never had this issue... too bad I didn't know before now.

Tradesman1 · Jan 5, 2014

Try raising the DRAM voltage as mentioned and let me know what mobo

Bonecrushrr · Jan 5, 2014

The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H. I increased the voltage to 1.6 and still no luck. 3 of the sticks appear to work (very short tests) with one failing prime after only a couple of minutes. The link to my memtest run from last night posted below (5 passes in 8 hours 15 mins). I have 2 more slots to give each a 1 hour test however currently it looks as though I have 1 bad stick in the version 7.21 kit (no available xmp and runs tRFC 174).

Might just check the single stick with memtest, if errors then prob RMA time

Bonecrushrr · Jan 5, 2014

I have not ran memtest86 on the single stick in my 4770k however memtest running on my old i7 920 on the single stick has yet to find a problem with the stick.

Bonecrushrr · Jan 6, 2014

Update,

With memtest86 running for the last 3 hours on the suspected "faulty stick" it has completed 3 full passes and is finished test 9 on pass 5. According to memtest this stick appears to be just fine however as soon as I install it for realtime use the crashing begins. All motherboard slots seem to be good as I have tried moving the other sticks around and everything seems to behave well. Looks like its RMA time unless you have any other ideas.

Tradesman1 · Jan 6, 2014

One more, leave DRAM voltage as is and try raising the the VCCSA (System agent voltage) to about 1.1

Bonecrushrr · Jan 6, 2014

In terms of a -0.3 to +0.4 adjustment range how far do I go?

Tradesman1 · Jan 6, 2014

Either is safe, try the + 0.04, if stable could try dropping or go up a bit more from there

Bonecrushrr · Jan 6, 2014

Thanks for all the help, that stick is a lost cause. Submitted RMA for replacement memory kit.

Tradesman1 · Jan 6, 2014

Hope the RMA goes quick, drop us an update when you get the replacement

Bonecrushrr · Jan 6, 2014

It should, the place I order from is usually very good and the tech support person said they will RMA it... at least I still have 8 gigs.

Tradesman1 · Jan 7, 2014

Will be awaiting your update, hope all goes quick and well
