Hey guys,
I have an old motherboard - P55 UD3L, and for some reason my Windows 7 has started freezing on startup when I have my second memory stick in. I currently have Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 2 x 8gb 2400Mhz, and I know that the motherboard states only 2,200Mhz, so I have always ran it at just 1,333Mhz.
Never had a problem until recently, and when the computer has both memory sticks in (slot 1 & 3), it freezes a few seconds after boot. However, with just one 8gb stick in slot 1 it works absolutely fine.
I have considered updating my BIOS again to make sure it's up to date, but I cannot understand if I am downloading the right BIOS file. When I go to the motherboard page it says the latest is rev 2.3 (FI) - https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-P55-UD3L-rev-23#support-dl
However, when I download the FI file it is called this - motherboard_bios_ga-p55-ud3l_v1.1_v2.0_fi
Why does it state v1.1 v2.0 when it should be rev 2.3? Is this the latest update?
In CPU-Z it currently states rev 11 and rev 06 which I have no idea what that means.
If anyone has any thoughts on the correct download for the latest BIOS update, please let me know so I can try that. Or if I am doing anything wrong with the BIOS settings for RAM etc.
Please note that I am not using XMP as it doesn't work - says it is an overclock and unstable and just goes back to auto running at 1,333Mhz.
