Hi All..Chrisso here.
Have the following setup :

Mobo = GA-990FX-GAMING
Chipset = AMD FX-9590 (Socket AMD3+)
Ram = 32Gb Corsair (800Mhz) have procured 32Gb Hyperx Fury (1866Mhz) Ram (not tested by Gigabyte).
All SD DDR3 ram

i have no XMP display inside the latest mobo bios, nothing indicated in the Advanced area of the bios.
Mobo displays an error code 50 = Memory initialization error occurs.
Have loaded new Ram in differant combinations..somtimes the computer just stops other times computer just loops to this error code on the mobo...tried to get into the bios but can't.

Replace Reverted back to the old Ram and all okay. maybe just have to live with this? I wonder if anyone on the foum knows of another mobo that will take this ram and maybe the chipset?

Any links would be handy. Have tried also AMD overdrive utility but no profile for ram upgrade. Have tried APP Center Utility but the over drive is greyed out...can't win!

Thanks All
Chrisso
 
Welcome to the forums , newcomer!

Which BIOS version are you currently on for your motherboard? You might want to see if only one stick of ram from the new kit changes anything. You should also mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age as well as the cooler you're using to cool that FX-9590 processor.

Got links to the ram kits you're using?
 
Hi Sir, thanks for your reply.
Cooling = Enermax ELC120 ( liquid cpu cooler). 4-5years
I have the latest bios according to Gigabyte > F2 - AMD AGESA Orochi PV1.5.0.5 ..04/06/2016
Have tried all ram combinations as per the user manual....even 1 stick.
PSU is a Templarius Imperiator 1150W unit (80 PLUS Gold unit) 4-5 years
Have added an extra fan for cooling the VRam area ( throtttling/hanging was a big problem earlier) The AMD overdrive utility that i installed corrected a few settings and i have no throttling unless i convert a movie to another playable format. Then the cpu stuffs up and hangs. (CPU and Graphics have a big headache together).
Graphics = Palit GTX 760 4Gb
