Hi,
I've been struggling to get this 4x2Gb OCZ memory set to function properly on my new Asus mb with little success. I was hoping you pros could give me a diagnose on wether it is the memory, mb or something else that fails here. All components were recently bought and are new.
Here's some background info on the system:
All hardware should be compatible (P7P55D, OCZ 3G1333LV4GK, Core i7 860, Radeon 5770 HD, Sapphire 625W PSU). The problem is likely not temperature increase- or voltage drop related. DRAM voltage, timings and frequency have been adjusted as ASUS's manual suggests on this memory. I managed to install Win7 64x but I can't get the stability issue fixed.
Problem:
1. System freezes when running a memory intensive software. Boot needed.
2. Both Windows based and boot disc memory tests give memory errors (win7 might freeze when tested).
3. The memory error count and addresses are completely random. On full mem check with a boot program, error count varies from 0-30000 errors.
4. When tested separately and in pairs, it's impossible to say if a specific memory gives more errors than the other. Error count is too random.
5. Consecutive tests on same memory set up give zero error counts or a random number of errors.
6. On graphics benchmarking, the system might freeze or the graphic card might stop answering for a while (also memory error related?)
In my opinion, these symptoms indicate that the motherboard is bad (weak contact on memory sockets, short circuiting etc.). If you find any other reason for this kind of error behaviour, I'd be pleased to hear it before sending the mb back to Asus Beforehand thanks for your answers!
