Hi
I have several BSOD while running Windows 7 Ultimate. I managed to reinstall Win7 from scratch with 1 stick of RAM (4G) and that seemed to work. However, when I install all 16GB Ram, the system seems not stable and several BSODs happened randomly.
Here is my new machine, I used default BIOS settings.
MOBO: Asus Rampage IV Gene-X7 (BIOS Version 1305 2012.04.18 update)
CPU : Hex Core i7-382
GPU : 1G GTX550Ti ASUS (Latest driver)
RAM : G.Skill Ripjaws-X F3-12800cl9d-8GBXL (16G total)
PSU : CoolerMaster RS-650
WIFI CARD: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800
I tried to run Memtest86+ v4.2 and amazingly, here is the result:
I ran the test with only 2 sticks and it produced so many errors, but it seemed to be fine when I ran separately. I also ran memory test using Window Memory Diagnostic but it said no errors at all for 16GB.
Beside that, I had run the GPU stress test using FurMark, there was not any BSOD so I reckon GPU is unlikely the culprit.
Please help, is it the RAM or MOBO problem? :mad:.

Yes that is a Dual channel kit and this platform is quad channel so the XMP profile is not valid for this format. To save headaches a X79 tuned quad channel kit would work better but I am sure with abit of tuning though you can probably get it to work fine. Clear the CMOS and try the following, Voltage to the RAM 1.6v, VCCSA 1.15, VTT 1.15. Manually enter the timings in Bios 9-9-9-28 2T with Rampage tweak mode 1 and memtest again with all other memory settings on AUTO. Post back your results.
This was 1 of the KIT. I had to return 1 of the KIT, sell the other one and go for GSKILL RipjawsZ 😄
My machine is stable at 4.75Ghz (Temp 71C full load) 😄
Thanks all.
Cheers
