Hello
When i was building my configuration the discovery of these website and the helpfulness of it's members proved itself to be extremely useful and reliable. Because of that i have come back with an issue that i have recently had occurring to me. I hope to find answers and solutions once more..
A while back ago I have purchased a set of 4 DDR3 memory sticks.
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M4A2400C10
They are installed on the following motherboard:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard with 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support and UEFI BIOS
In conjunction with SLI 2x nVidia 660ti video cards.
PROBLEM: It occurred when i rebooted my computer today, a loud noise chimed from the motherboard and after entering my BIOS password to proceed with Windows booting it gave me the following message
[Memory OK Succeeds in booting, save settings in BIOS]
Then i try to enter the BIOS and all i get is black screen. No cursor no nothing. Just a black screen and it sits there.
On my motherboard there are red digital numbers showing [99]
I restarted my computer, and the same thing kept occurring.
I removed the memory sticks leaving only 1 in, i still couldn't access my BIOS. I even tried restarting the CMOS, without any result.
Keep note that i have a password prompt setup from my BIOS that would not allow to proceed with Windows Boot unless entered.
Though, now i can't enter BIOS at all even if i want to remove the password or change any BIOS settings whatsoever.
After several attempts i got lucky and the [MEMORY OK...] message did not show up, and my WINDOWS booted safely. Computer seems to be working okay for now..
I am asking for advise on how to avoid this in future, and how do i enter my BIOS?
There is an ASUS application called AI Suite II with which i checked some of my hardware voltage and frequencies. Not sure if it will be of any help to you with which you can instruct me on how to proceed, but i will post several screenshots of the application's monitoring
I did a little bit of research myself but i am not quite sure in my findings. It seems that for some reason my RAM memory is running with 1.5v when it's rated for 1.65v. Now i can only see that from the ASUS application, since i am not able to access my BIOS.
I have uploaded 5 screenshots in a tiny album at imgur. which you can find here - http://imgur.com/a/gPzVt
I hope to see some replies.
Thank you very much in advance!
