G.Skill Ripjaws on Gigabyte G1 sniper

[Sebastian_4]

hi, since the comunity help me so much in my 30 minutes of joining maybe can get some tips on this, i put together a A10-7850K and a gigabyte G1.Sniper A88X, i check for the supported memory for the cpu and the mobo, and when i try to boot with an old pair of gkill ripjaws, that works fine in my asus p5qc with my old quadcore, it just wont boot, i got this pair F3-14900CL9D-4GBXM CL9-10-9-28 1.50v. the bios is on default settings, only when i plug one module at a time i cant get it to load windows 7, when i plug both for dual channel it just wont boot, or starts loading windows and then BSOD for a milisecond before it reboots endless times.

Bump the dram voltage to 1.6v and see if that fixes things

Do you have the latest BIOS? Try resetting the CMOS then try with the RJ X

dram voltage is in gray and unselectable by default on this board, cant touch that

CMOS reset a couple of times, always the same result, BIOS is the F7, not sure if the other newer versions will help or will get a new set of problems

current F7 says "Improve memory compatibility" so not much of improving so far
F8 version says Update APU AGESA 1.1.0.2
F9 .................. Update APU AGESA code for Godavari support
F10..................Improve VGA card compatibility

BIOS updates generally list only 1 or two items - a BIOS update often can have tons of updates (many DRAM related, but also to fix problems they'd rather not advertise are there

i just ran memtest on one module... looks that it´s giving some problems and it´s about to die, i just tested with 2 sticks of kingston hyperx at 1600mhz and works like a charm, also i found the dram voltage in the "superadvance voltage settings" tab that was hiding from my eyes and manage to be able to change the voltage.

Did you retry test with upped voltage? Glad to hear you have a working system either way

yeap, just more red over the blue screen, if the memtest backward where black then it would be like watching a deadpool poster

Does sound like a bad stick, RMA time
