BSOD after replacing memory

Destroyer954 · Dec 5, 2014

Hi, I am using MB GA-P55A-UD3 rev 2.0. My old memory broke down so I've tried to replace it with new one: Kingston HX318C10FBK2/8.
BIOS detected this RAM and gave it 1333Mhz, as intended. However timings seem to be wrong, but I dont know how to set them properly. I've tried to set as datasheet says ( http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX318C10FBK2_16.pdf )
CAS to 8
tRCD to 9
tRP to 8
tRAS to 25 (although I am not sure about this one).
I've also tried to use BIOS optimized defaults but this doesnt work either.

The problem is that I always get BSOD "Page fault in nonpaged area" whatever I do.
I am using Win8.1 Pro x64

So how do I fix this?
Thanks

Have you tried enabling XMP for the memory / 'overclocking' profile? That is a good tool to make sure the motherboard uses the memorys own built-in profiles.

Well I wanted to try it but I couldn't find it. It was supposed to be here (as the manual says) but it's not

I've also tried the ctrl+f1 trick (not sure if it's for my motherboard) to display all the settings but that didnt work either. So I guess it doesnt support it.

In that picture it says "Performance Enhance",see if that can be changed to XMP.

The Fury line doesn't use XMP, it operates off PnP and the P55 chipset isn't compatible (for compatible chipsets - see here:

can try plaing with timings and voltages

Ah,shame on me,didn't look at the modelnr,just looked at the picture. :pfff:

I've played with timings quite a bit but after few hours of trying various configurations I've given up, returned the memory and bought a different one which is exactly at 1333Mhz and just works.
However I would like to know why the memory must be compatible with certain chipset, I always thought that only voltage and frequency must be supported by the both MB and memory and other stuff could be set via BIOS.

Yes, you will find at times w/ the PnP DRAM (Fury) you might set the base timings manually and correctly but also have to go into voltages (may require a little extra to DRAM and MC) and even into the secondary or tertiary timings on these sticks
