Need help with BIOS setup for new RAM

enriqueleo1 · Jun 20, 2016

Hey there folks, Its my first time posting on this forum. First of all I am a novice when it comes to setting up bios concerning ram speeds etc. I have recently purchased (2x4Gb) G.skill F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL to upgrade my old (2x2gb) corsair sticks. But I am pretty sure my BIOS is still setup for the old ram which is a lower rate/end ram.

I looked at all the specifications and compability of the ram corresponding to my motherboard and CPU before purchasing this. But the problem is I put in the two new set of rams and I boot up my pc an error appears saying IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

operating system - Windows 10

RAM Specs: DDR3-1333 mhz 1.5V

My current motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3

CPU - Intel i5-650 3.20 ghz

So I am seeking help concerning setting up my bios to the right specs/voltage and timing for the new ram that I have purchased. btw sorry if I include uncessary stuff I really dont know anything about cmos

Current BIOS setup
channel A / B
tcL 9
tRCD 9
tRP 9
tRAS 24
tRRD 4
tWTP 21
tRFC 174
tCMD 2

memory frequency - 1332.85 mhz (10x) but the smp is set to 1333 but it shows 1332.85 mhz which is lower is that okay?

DRAM voltage - 1.584 V

My system memory multiplier is already set to its highest peak which is 10.0 (1333) but it still doesnt seem to work it gives me the same error

I am more than happy to wait for your responses thank you.

Hello...sure I can help you... Any time you move or change RAM you need to reset your CMOS... B /

After you do this the video will default to your CPU/IGT... are you able to connect to your MB with you Video cable and monitor?

umm since I am not really familiar with my bios so idk how to reset the cmos, and yes I am able to connect my monitor to both my vga and dvi and its working perfectly fine (I havent resetted my cmos yet)

enriqueleo1 :

You can remove and reinstall your CMOS battery / jumper, it will reset your BIOS.

Ironsounds · Jun 20, 2016

Hello... Let's try a proper "battery removal" AND CMOS reset Clear to the MB ...ok? B /
Take your time here and be slow and careful to your MB... look in your MB manual/Pdf for pictures and location of the SW/pins. B )
1) un-plug PS from wall.
2) remove MB battery
3) place jumper pins/switch on MB to clear the capacitors... for ~3 mins
4) remove Jumper/switch
5) re-install battery
6) plug monitor into the MB video output.
8) plug in PS to wall
9) Boot computer.

What if I dont have the jumper case? Is there other ways of resetting cmos or that is the only way

Ironsounds · Jun 20, 2016

Hello... there will be a chapter and picture in your manual... or DL the PDF for it... B /

enriqueleo1 · Jun 20, 2016

Ironsounds :

enriqueleo1 · Jun 20, 2016

Ironsounds :

I plugged the power source from the wall and psu, No I have only used the battery method since thats the only thing I could perform

Ironsounds · Jun 20, 2016

Ironsounds · Jun 20, 2016

Hello... THX for pic... I think the jumper is under?...is that a fan? B /

enriqueleo1 · Jun 20, 2016

Ironsounds :

That is my gpu fan

enriqueleo1 · Jun 20, 2016

But the weird thing is mr iron, The timing of the bios is set up to the recommended timing for the ram and that is 9-9-9-24 what could possibly be the problem? is it the bios or the drivers?

Ironsounds · Jun 20, 2016

Hello... if you can get into the BIO's... everything is set fine B )

enriqueleo1 · Jun 20, 2016

Ironsounds :

Yes I can get into the BIOS fine but when i boot up the PC the same error still pop up "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" :/

Ironsounds · Jun 20, 2016

Hello... so no Windows Boot... AND we have Display?...am I correct here?

enriqueleo1 · Jun 20, 2016

Ironsounds :

Si, there is a display and a boot but it doesnt boot up all the way to the login screen it quickly goes straight to the error and restarts itself

Ironsounds · Jun 20, 2016

Hello...THX..B )... do you have OS install media?

enriqueleo1 · Jun 20, 2016

Ironsounds :

I came up with the same idea, I am currently re installing my OS hopefully this works
