Hello, first of all I would like to excuse myself for my bad english.

I have problems with P8P67 EVO mobo. I was running 4x 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz CL8 RAMs, when suddenly bluescreen appeared. http://ebay.webdim.de/upload/priv/DSC09999.jpg

So I restarted computer and DRAM red light was shining. I tried MemOK - no result. Only working "combination" is 1x 4GB RAM in A1 slot.

Do you think it is mobo problem ? Thx

Intel core i7 2600
ASUS P8P67 EVO
4x 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz CL8
Sapphire AMD HD Radeon 7950

Well unfortunately the LGA1155 chipset is aged and there are fewer and fewer (new) options to choose from. There is an ASRock option, the Z77 Extreme4, available on NewEgg for $145(US) and SuperBiz for $140. It has good reviews however and your memory should work with it even though on ASRock's supported memory list it has the 4GB Vengeance 1600MHz at CL9 (model CML16GX3M4A1600C9), not a CL8 model.

Also just keep in mind that if you use all four memory slots, you increase your chances of having compatibility problems, especially if you didn't buy all four memory sticks at the same time in a kit (memory chips being made during the same manufacturing period are more consistent in working with each other). Good luck...

If the system you've described as having since 2012 including memory then its possible the motherboard.

It's unusual for a system to run this long then run into problems.

Try lowering the memory frequency to 1333 and run memtest http://www.memtest.org/#downiso (from a bootable fat32 formatted usb stick or DVD) with all 4gb sticks and test for errors.


Last resort, try updating the bios, it may help https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8P67_EVO/HelpDesk_Download/ It's easy to do, download the bios rom onto a fat32 formated usb stick and use EZFlash in the bios to update. To prevent any complications though regarding your memory, only try this if you do with the memory stick/and only slot (A1) you know works.
 
First, no need to apologize for your English. It is fine and in fact much better than some of the so-called native English speakers :) . In any event, I had the P8P67 Pro (REV 3.0) with an i5 2500K and it is essentially the same board minus a few minor upgrades.

I started getting more and more blue screen crashes in the middle of use until one day it just died. I swapped the CPU and memory from another P67 build which quickly concluded it was the motherboard. It lasted from March 2011 to October 2014. Even the updated 3.0 Revision of the P8P67 has a lot of failure reports on NewEgg.

So I updated BIOS, changed frequency of RAMs - again no result. Only one ram in A1 works. Tomorrow I'm going to check my RAMs in another motherboard; if they will be fine, I am going for new motherboard. Could you recommend me any ? I definitely would like to have again ASUS or MSI. Max. 150$ . And I forgot to say, my PSU is Seasonic X-760
