I just had a similar issue just a cpl of days ago. It's your memory. I updated bios from 3008 to 3502. 3502 for some reason changes dram voltage and or voltage requirements. When I was on 3008 I would put my memory frequency to 3200mhz and 1.35 in dram voltage, had no issues. Update to bios 3502 and same thing you are experiencing. I thought to that it was the bios but even when I flashbacked to 3008 I kept having the same issue. For the life of me and others that helped me here on the forums, we couldn't find an answer until 1 person said that he has to run his dram voltage to 1.41 and suggested I try that. Wallah! Have had no issues since, going on a little more than 24 hours. If you use xmp or set your frequency to 3400mhz mess around with dram voltage. Try and get the voltage close to the recommended voltage for your memory.
Hope it's that simple for you. You don't wanna know what I tried for over a day with no fix until I changed my voltage setting and like I said, for over 24 hours my pc is back to running.

Very insightful & detailed, extremely helpful! Thanks!

Hello

3400MHz memory speed plug n' play is being overly optimistic by several hundred MHz. If no tuning time if wanted stay at 2933MHz or lower.

Thank you as well.

I'm keeping XMP disabled. Forget it, I doubt the apps I will use will need the full extreme throttling. I will try back once new bios and new updates have been implemented, hoping 3400 plug n play works by then. IF not then whatever it's on now is fine. I just can't afford a blue screen or a restart in the midst of me working.

Thanks again to all. Glad we got the problem solved this quickly. Impressed. :cool:

Oh I see what you're saying and I think you are absolutely right! I totally forgot I enabled XMP on my ram. It just said "Your memory settings have been reset due to failure to boot" on the bios splash screen.

I have these as memory, are these good to go for this board? https://gskill.com/en/product/f4-3400c16q-32gtz

F4-3400C16Q-32GTZ

Tested Speed 3400MHz
Tested Latency 16-18-18-38

G Skill 8 X 4 GB . I placed them into the mobo slots how it said I should put them in in the manual.

But I went to BIOS before and enable XMP profile which boosted these to 3400. But I think I will leave XMP off because of the instability

and not a new install, had previous install but did a windows repair on it.

Thanks a huge ton man for fixing my problems!! Hugely appreciate it!!!!! 😉

Nah you are welcome!

That RAM actually hasn't been tested by G.Skill on anything except Z170 and on the ASUS QVL for the board, there are no 3400 kits.

You could of course, as you say, leave them at stock but maybe you could also try setting them up manually.

Maybe try 3200MHz or 2933. Set the voltage and primary timings like the XMP profile sets them.

Maybe try one of the memory profiles like the Stilt's "safe 3200 1.4v"

A bit of experimentation might have them dialed in....because it sounds like they were "almost working" if you know what I mean

Also, when you get time...it's probably best to backup what you want off the old install and do a clean OS install on the new platform. It's usually best practice...

I will def play with these during free time and see what's up.

I think I might sell these ram kits off and buy the http://gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14q-32gfx Looks like these have been tested by G Skill for 3200 plug n play and they tested it on the Zenith. The aesthethics on these are a downgrade from what I have now so is that a compromise I'm willing to make is the question.

& Holy God, what happened to RAM prices, SKY ROCKETING RAM PRICES.... $460 for those above...

Forget Bitcoins, we should have invested in RAM KITS!!!! :o:o:o
