nForce 780i SLI Mobo, 4 GB Corsair Dominator Ram, BSOD on Boot, Help!

Whoops, forget to mention I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit.

What bios revision does the board have? The reason I ask is that this seems to be a common problem with the 780i boards, but it seems to have been addressed in some cases by a new revision of the bios. Check the XFX site for an updated bios.

Try this patch with 2 GB Ram and then shut down . put in 2 more GB and then restart. It should work. Let me know.

Tried both and it still didn't work.

Its fixed. Thanks for your support!

How do you get it fixed?

hey i just thought i'de let some one know how i was able to fix the exact same problem.
when i was installing vista ultimate 64-bit i was able to boot with 2gb of corsair, they were rated at 1066mhz but
since my nforce 750i ftw and also the 780i sli mobo officially supported 800mhz when i put in 2gb of my 1066mhz corsair it would revert them back to 800mhz speeds.
when i put in the other 2gb stick of corsair ram, it would BSOD.

what you have to do is go into the bios, change the ram speed from 800mhz to 1066mhz. then look on either the box or the back of your dominator ram
and see what voltage the ram is supposed to be set at. then change the voltage to your ram in the bois probaly from 1.9v to the rated voltage eg. mine was 2.1v so
i set it to that and it boots up fine and at the rated 1066mhz speed. also check the ram timings and make sure there set right aswell. i had to change mine
from 5-9-9-32 to 5-5-5-18 as thats what its factory rated at.

so recap....

1. change speed from 800 to ______ ur rams native speed. (in my case 800mhz to 1066mhz)
2.change timings from _ _ _ _ to _ _ _ _ ur rams native timings. (in my case 5 9 9 32 to 5-5-5-18)
3.change voltage from _._ to _._ur rams native voltage. (in my case 1.9v to 2.1)

pm me for help if you need.

I am having this EXACT same problem only with my Evga 780i sli ftw mobo. I talked to evga twice, no luck, tried calling Gskill that was a waste. But everytime I change settings on my memory in the bios it'll just do a long beep and revert back to normal, so I can start windows. The one time I was able to get into windows it BSOD on me. I tried manually setting all the memory to native settings, with no luck, I'm officially lost.

Could you please tell me what fixed this problem? I have gone through a lot trying to fix the BSOD. Is there a file you were given?

after the first xfx 780i was returned the new one had the exact same bsod problems, and various other errors and hangs.

tried with 2 processors, 2 graphics cards and 4 different kinds of compatable ram.

i thaught the dominator memory was sli, mine is, and there are settings in the bios to automaticaly link all the speeds and stuff if your memory is sli compatable

even after voltage and timing adjusts, one chip of ram boots and 3 clean windows vista 32 installs there is the same problem

oh yeah and a bios update, still nothing

verdict, poor 780i chips

solution, buying a different one now. got any recomendations guys?

asus or evga I've used both for a long time.....model depends on the features that you want
or how much you're willing to spend...............
