[dreamracer]

HI ALL

I AM USING ASUS P7P55D - E LX WITH ADATA 1600 DDR3 MEMORY
I5 INTEL

WIN 7 ULTIMATE

RECENTLY I HAVE REINSTALLED THE SYSTEM,
BUT MY BIOS STUCK ON FIRST PAGE ALWAYS WITH THE FOLLOW

IO LEVELIP CURRENT STATUS DISABLE NEXT STATE USB3.0
IF YOU WANT TI CHANGE IO LEVEL UP STATE, PLEASE PRESS IO LEVEL UP BUTTON

I HAVE ALREADY DISABLED IOLEVEL UP BUT STILL STUCK ON FIRST PAGE OF BIOS AND WINDOWS NOT LOAD
UNTIL I PRESS THE IO LEVEL BUTTON


HOPE SOME EXPERTS CAN GUIDE ME FOR THIS HEADACHE

At this point I'd try a new CPU as there isn't much else that could possibly be wrong (in theory). If you bought the parts locally, can't you have the whole system tested by a competent shop? It's difficult and frustrating to determine that type of issue without spare parts.

Dear I have good news maybe for a day hehe
First I have formatted whole drive and installed fresh win7 in first partition of SATA drive. Leaved for a day and turn on next morning with BSOD again with my own ADATA 1600 memory.
So next after my friend borrowed me a new stick of Kingston 1333. I use this to test the computer today early morning and went straight in without BSOD. OK not time to happy so early. Evening I came back from work and on the computer.
Great! the computer went straight to desktop without BSOD and leave it on for 2 hours as sometime BSOD after couple of mins. But nothing happen.

Now I am installing back all the drivers to this system and will see if tomorrow morning have BSOD with drivers installed.

But it seems to me the my memory stick was giving me problem before.

Will know the answer and if I am correct I will buy this sticks and sell out my old stick to prevent such headaches.

Please pray for me .

Thanks
Ken

Having memory issues isn't as unexpected as having CPU issues. As I said before, I don't have issues with mine, but I'm using memory modules that are certified for that motherboard.

Dear,

Finally the system run like a charm now, but we never follow the manual to use same memory module, mostly all of them should work. the book included ADATA brand for 1600Mhz which was same as mine except the model no. So I dont know if this was the issue, Tonight I have reinstalled adata memory to make sure again and bomb BSOD screen back to life.

So finally I take out and reuse the friend kingston stick 1333Mhz and is fine going good now.

The friend told me maybe is because some chipset on ADATA memory conflict with our board thats cause the BSOD because our board is quite expensive and not a cheap model therefore the board need some good pills to run smoothly.

I think maybe what he said is reasonable.

Will buy 1 more stick from him with same model and install later, hope 4gb will run smooth as well.

But one thing is I like to use 1600Mhz instead of 1333Mhz. Can I over O.C the 1333 to 1600? Will this harm my stick?

Thanks
Ken

I wouldn't do that as it might lead to system instability, unless you increase the voltage (too much can also harm the CPU) or use looser timings, but that might provide no performance gains. You need to run benchmarks to measure the performance difference of identical modules at 1333MHz and 1600MHz.

I suggest you read this article: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i7-870-1156,2482.html

If you absolutely want to run your modules at 1600MHz, then you should buy modules that are certified for your motherboard.

I know this is a late reply but it may assist people having the same issue. I have not read any reply that states: "Use the MemOK button feature of the motherboard"

I have used this feature on a failed memory and it fixed whatever error the memory module had. You must press the "MEMOK!" button for a good 3 to 5 seconds when the computer is off. The computer will turn on and go through memory/system test.

According to ASUS:
"MemOK! determines failsafe settings and dramatically improves your system boot success. "
