Hello guys,

i7-4790K
Z97 GAMING 5
G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 16GB 2x8GB CL9
G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 16GB 2x8GB CL9
Gigabyte gtx970 gaming G1
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Cooler Master G750M

I had 16gb and a week ago I decided to buy 16gb more.

I can put 24gb but when I try to put the 4th stick the PC sometimes restart repetly or try to start and blue screen death appears with errors like : DRIVE IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL or SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED... each time a different errorr.

I have done a memtest to each ram in each stick. All ok.
I can put 3 rams in slots 1 2 3 or 1 2 4 so the memory and the slots are ok.

I've formatted with w7 pro & w10pro but same problem.

I had a wifislax cd live and I can run it with 32gb.

I've updated bios, cleared CMOS and updated all drivers (mothersip, graphic...)

I tried like 15 hours to try to put 1 ram then 2 then 3 then 4 in all different situations, sticks, posibilities.Changing ram frequency, voltage, 9-9-9-24 to different numbers...

I dont know what I can do more... I'm so desperate. Why i can run it perfectly with 24gb and not 32gb?

Pls any help will be so grateful

Regards

The error message you posted is typical of defective memory...have you checked each stick of memory one at a time with memory test ?

If youre sure the memory is good, and the slots all work, but putting in the 4th stick causes issues you could try boosting the motherboard chipset (PCH usually) voltage...boosting the CPU voltage may also be beneficial if the chips memory controller is struggling.

What voltage do you recommend me? I tried to put from 1.400 to 1500 and 1600 and nothing happened.

I dont think it's a slot or sticky ram faulty because I can put the 3 rams (changing the 4th ram o another) in SLOTS 123 or 124 or 234 or 134...

I would post in the motherboard section of the Forums...I dont have the same board and would not want to provide incorrect info. Toms has some very good guides on OCing available to read up on how to do it safely.

Your DDR3 memory should be at 1.6 anyway. Are you running XMP profiles on the memory?

Hellos guys,

I'm so frustrated. I didnt change any value in bios and now I can't set 2 RAMS!

When I try to put more than 1 stick the pc doesn't boot.

I restarted default values I did some photos. Maybe you can help me.

I dont know about OC and dont know exactly what SA values I should put more voltage or If I can damage the pc.

I have CPU SA/IOA/IOD voltage mode "manual mode" by default. I can change to offset mode. I have both screens

Regards.
