I have a Z87 Deluxe in my system which I have been slowly beginning to get everything working properly. My last issue was with the wifi which was eventually resolved by unpacking a new set of drivers utilizing another computer and reinstalling them. Anyway occasionally on cold boot (not every time, but happens normally if the time between boots is greater), I get the following message:

The memory address is insufficient due to Intel Thunderbolt resource consumption. The onboard Thunderbolt is now disabled for better system resource allocation. Strongly suggest to press F1 to enter BIOS setup and manually disable the unused I/O peripheral controllers. (Recommended items SATA/LAN/Wi-Fi/Thunderbolt controller.)
Press F1 to Run Setup.

I have attached a link to a picture of this screen. This screen comes up after the numerous leds inside the case blink, CPU, VGA, boot device, etc. I am not exactly sure what the issue is and how to correct it. I don't have any thunderbolt devices. I read a thread here where someone else had this problem and indicated they reseated the video cards as one was not fully seated. I checked that and mine appear to be fully seated. I checked them visually and applied a little pressure to check them.

Is that a single DRAM kit or have you combined modules to make up the density? Seems like Patriot sell these in single modules. This might the issue if they were not binned by Patriot as four sticks running together. Try pulling all but one memory module as a debug and then see if the frequency of the errors changes. If it does, then you're getting the message due to instability at times.

Raj:

I tried pulling them as you said. I also tried using two binned sticks of Kingston DDR3 1333 ram from another computer. Same results. I also ran memtest86+ and didn't have any ram errors. I am not sure what the issue is. Also, if the computer is asleep for a significant amount of time, it won't wake up and will require a powerdown and reboot (which Windows loves) which creates havoc for the SSD. I really would like to figure this one out. Maybe it is an issue that a BIOS upgrade could cure. What else do you think I should try?
