did you set your memory in the bios to its xmp ?? will it do this when your using default bios settings? are you trying to set some overclock on them? be sure the memory is fully seated in there correct slot? is the memory on the boards compatibly list? did you check for bent pins in the cpu socket?

no pins are bend, they are correcly seated tried in xmp and without it error still happens

so this is just one stick ??

so this is just one stick ??

got two of them

 

[junkeymonkey]

I will assume that you did not buy them as a kit? this may be part of the issue the 2 even being the same may not match up as would 2 matched sticks in a 2 stick kit they are binned at the factory and tested to work together where a single stick did not and was sold that way--- so how well does it work with just one stick??

even with one of them at a time i can still only get 1b and 2b to work.

ya that may be true if your board has two slots that works single sided the other two may not..

 

[junkeymonkey]

I cant find out much on it .. look if you feel the board is bad and you need to rmma or something don't jack around and loose out on that

well i prefer to know whats wrong before i simply rma it

 

[junkeymonkey]

what about a bios update?? are you all up to date on that??

What are you using for a cooler?

Make sure any cooler you are using isn't tightened to much because it can flex the board and cause ram slot issues.

using a coolermaster seidon 120mm the issue today happend after i turned the radiator another way in hope for better cooling, then after and hour or so i bsod and the pc rebootet and gave me the error.
i then turned the radior back to the place it was before and removed and reset the ram and it worked again..
i just have no idea what causes it and it anoys the hell out of me and actually scares me quiet a bit

Sometimes just a slight board flex throws the slots off.

Sometimes just a slight board flex throws the slots off.

would that indicate that the board is crap?, and how can turning the radiator a bit flex the board?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's strange , but I've seen this several times , just a different position and bam the slots work.

Doesn't mean the board is crap , actually I own that board is a great one.

 

[junkeymonkey]

ok so now we need to check cpu temps but still all the slots should work as normal unless the memory controller got too hot and went bad [hope not]

Had a forum member on another site with the h100i , same issue.

Take care have a great one , thanks for posting.
