P7P55D- E LX TROUBLE

[dreamracer]

HI ALL

I AM USING ASUS P7P55D - E LX WITH ADATA 1600 DDR3 MEMORY
I5 INTEL

WIN 7 ULTIMATE

RECENTLY I HAVE REINSTALLED THE SYSTEM,
BUT MY BIOS STUCK ON FIRST PAGE ALWAYS WITH THE FOLLOW

IO LEVELIP CURRENT STATUS DISABLE NEXT STATE USB3.0
IF YOU WANT TI CHANGE IO LEVEL UP STATE, PLEASE PRESS IO LEVEL UP BUTTON

I HAVE ALREADY DISABLED IOLEVEL UP BUT STILL STUCK ON FIRST PAGE OF BIOS AND WINDOWS NOT LOAD
UNTIL I PRESS THE IO LEVEL BUTTON


HOPE SOME EXPERTS CAN GUIDE ME FOR THIS HEADACHE

Did you reset the CMOS?

P.S. Using all caps is rude.

 

[ofuroinu]

I am sorry bros was hurry to the work and standing while typing.

I have updated the bios to latest firmware. Do I need to reset & do the setting of bios again?

Because this board does not detect 1600mhz ram So I need to O.C it .
I have already disable IO Level up inside the bios

Anything else I am missing here?

Thanks
Ken

 

[GhislainG]

After flashing BIOS, it is mandatory to reset the CMOS; otherwise it won't work properly. 1600Mhz RAM can't be selected from the list even if you flahed the latest BIOS revision.

 

[dreamracer]

Dear,

I have reseted the bios to default setting but still exist same problem stuck on main screen. Is the right way to reset the bios?

Also this board to read 1600 we need to set the dram freq by manually inside to O.C the dram than it can read 1600.

But I dont know how to solve the main problem now.

Ken

 

[GhislainG]

Did you save the CMOS default settings?

 

[ofuroinu]

yes first I saved the default setting and restarted the computer.
Then second time I O.C the dram frequency to 1600 & save the settings.
After one night next day morning have same problem again.
each time I need to open the case & press the IO level up button on the board
& restart then it is OK for one time use.

I don't understand what causes this & everytime after one day I need to perform same action again.

Thanks
Ken

Why do you need to run the RAM at 1600MHz? This motherboard is quite good (it even supports vt-d), but I don't believe the performance improvement at 1600MHz is worth the trouble. I run mine at 1333MHz and it's very stable.

 

[dreamracer]

Brother this morning I have resetted to 1333Mhz by default settings of Bios because I was afraid that my wife will not able to use her computer as I come back from work too late. I have asked her she told again is same problem. She need to restart twice from main screen of Bios to get in windows. Even I have formated the windows and done everything again but still same issue. Could it be the problem with my memory ADATA 2G x 2G ?

Ken

 

[GhislainG]

If running at default settings, then it could be the RAM. I'm using G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Ripjaws 2 x 2GB in mine and it's fine. Are you using a good quality PSU?

 

[dreamracer]

Yes the PSU is 500W , GTR brand which is good quality in Hong Kong,
Good to see you are happy with your system, I have build this system few months ago and installed win 7 ultimate sp 1. But still cant solve this cold boot problem, Ken

 

[GhislainG]

I may be wrong, but there might be an issue with the motherboard. However my first step would be to try a different PSU (if possible for you). Even the best units can fail.

 

[dreamracer]

OK thanks I will try your method

 

[ofuroinu]

Hi Hope you are fine.

Below is the link to the ram I am using Gaming series 1600Mhz
http://@@@.adata.com.tw/index.php?action=product_feature&cid=5&piid=91

I have studied the asus site and noticed

4 x DIMM, Max. 16 GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)*/1600/1333/1066 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel memory architecture
Supports Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
*Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs. Some hyper DIMMs only support one DIMM per channel. Please refer to Memory QVL for details.
**Refer to www.asus.com or this user manual for the Memory QVL(Qualified Vendors Lidts

So I think this issue is related to my ram.

What do you think about it?


Thank you

Ken

 

[GhislainG]

You link doesn't work. To verify if the RAM is the issue, use only one module.

 

[ofuroinu]

Hi

I have went to exchange 2 new rams sticks, but the person only changed one stick.
As for the other he said is slightly burn the metal chip. So cannot exchange.
I don't know what cause this burn. Can it by O.C to 1600Mhz?
My ram stick is 1600Mhz. I remember once upon a time due to coldboot issue I have tried to adjust the volt of dram to little higher 0.5V+.

Can this be the reason?

I will try to use one ram first tonight & see the result tommorrow after cold boot,
another stick waiting for a solution. to throw or can it be repair?

Thanks
Ken

 

[GhislainG]

Did you really increase voltage by 0.5V instead of 0.05V? If so, then no wonder you're having issues. The module can't be repaired, but it's inexpensive.

 

[ofuroinu]

Sorry bro it should 0.05V
But I have noticed the Ram can support from 1.5V to 1.75V.

Do you think my motherboard ram slot also damaged inside?
Because now I don't have second stick to test it.

Now if I insert working ram 2gb into blue 1st slot it is OK & the system is running.
But if I take out and put it in 2nd blue slot the system is beeping.

Does that mean my second blue slot is damage? or the motherboard don't recognize 2nd blue slot if 1st is empty?


Anyway I will take the motherboard for body check up.

Thanks
Ken

 

[GhislainG]

Does that mean my second blue slot is damage? or the motherboard don't recognize 2nd blue slot if 1st is empty?

If you read your manual, it should mention that the first slot has to be populated.

Hi bro

Long time
Finally I got back my mobo from Asus and they exchanged the board for me because they cant find out the problem and they tested the second board which was OK for them.

I have assembled it and tried but with same error again next morning.
Board changed , Ram changed and PSU too,
ADI 5770 also tested with no error.
I use one ata ide of 160gb with this board and Sata as primary for windows.

Now I am really surprised with this issue what is going on,

Help me anyone.

Ken

 

[GhislainG]

Please provide full system specs. Do you still have the issue if you don't use the IDE drive? I built a similar system for my kid and it runs fine, but I don't use IDE drives.

 

[dreamracer]

Hi

Win 7 Ultimate
I5- 750
Adata 1600Mhz DDR3 2gb x 2
ATI 5770 1GB
GTR - psu 500W
1TB - SATA 2 drive - Master ( partition 100gb for system , balance for storage)
IDE - 160gb
Pioneer DVD writer

I have tried to test by removing the case fans electricity but still have same problem
Now I am doubting if the driver of GPU is giving problem and this is my last hope.

Otherwise I will try to change the DDR3 ram to other good brands.

Nothing else I can think of it , and my wife is frustrated on this new system

thanks bro
Ken

 

[GhislainG]

The fans shouldn't cause that issue. My system has a few differences with yours; no IDE drives and different memory modules and PSU. If you disconnect the IDE cable from the motherboard, do you still have the same issue? Is the RAM running at 1600 Mhz? Have you tried to run it at 1333 MHz? GPU drivers can't cause that type of boot issue; it should be hardware related.

 

[dreamracer]

Hello bro, good day
First I have tested removed IDE drive and next day with same problem.
Yesterday I have removed and updated GPU driver to latest. Because the system keeps restarting after windows logo so I have removed the ram stick and reinstalled same then it was back to normal till midnight.

Today morning blue screen again after window logo.
It says Memory_Management,

I have no other options but to spend extra money to get new DDR3 stick.

Which brand shall I get?

I want to buy single 2 gb first to make sure it is running before I buy one more.

No I am not running at 1600 anymore everything set to dafault in bios setup.

Thanks and waiting your advice.
Ken

 

[GhislainG]

It's the first time you mention that the system reboots by itself while loading Windows. Did you run memtest86+ for several hours? You may need to increase voltage a bit or adjust other settings to make your modules work. I'd certainly try 1.65v before buying new modules.

I'm using G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL at the default SPD (1333 Mhz) settings in mine.
