Without memory beep code issue

[ltd8585]

OS: Windows 10 Home 64bit
Mobo: Asrock Z77 Extreme 6
Memory:G.SKILL RipjawsX F3-1600C9-8GXM
Gpu: GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G
Cpu: Intel i5-3570K
HD: Seagate Desktop HDD ST1000DM003 1TB

I have been having this issue when booting my computer up. I will get three beeps, and then another three beeps. Thinking this was a memory issue I ran Memtest86 and it found no issues. Then I removed one stick of memory and then tried booting up but no luck. Did the same with the other stick of memory, also with no success. I did notice a (0d) code on my motherboard. I also tried clearing the CMOS which didn’t help either. To be clear, I can boot into windows after the beeps if I hit the reset button on my case. I also don’t have any issues with crashes or anything once I’m in windows.

I have had the issue for a while now. If I remember correctly the issue started not to long after installing the memory. So I would guess that’s the issue I’m just not sure how to solve it. The only other thing I can think of would be maybe updating the bios but I have no clue.

Different computers use different beep codes, but generally 3 short beeps indicates "RAM failure". You say you think this started when you upgraded the ram, what speed are you running the ram? And do you remember what speed you were running before the upgrade?

I would first add 0.05 volts to the memory.

New: DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 9-9-9-24
CAS Latency 9
Voltage 1.5V

Old: DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Timing 8-8-8-24
CAS Latency 8
Voltage 1.5V

I believe these are them.

Try changing the timings in your BIOS back to 8-8-8-24 and see what happens, although that's a lower latency so it should harder for your system.

Since I haven't overclocked it or anything, it's at factory settings. Will it be alright to still up the voltage?

Do you have XMP [Extreme Memory Profile] enabled in the UEFI bios?

Do you have XMP [Extreme Memory Profile] enabled in the UEFI bios?

I'm not really sure. In the bios it shows XMP setting set to auto. It looks like it can only be set to auto or XMP 1.2 Profile 1.

Auto should be good enough. The BIOS will check the ram and use the appropriate setting for it.

I changed the timings to 8-8-8-24 but didn't seem to help :/. I also tried with 0.05 added to voltage.

which bios version is on the motherboard?

run memtest.org usb autoinstaller and boot from the USB flash drive

I think i may see your issue. Your motherboard has 8 Sata ports, 4 Grey and 4 Black, they are controlled by different chips. 4 by the Intel Z77 chipset and 4 by an ASMedia ASM1061 controller chip ASRock has added on the motherboard. Try moving the Sata port your boot drive is plugged into. This may solve your problem.

Whereas the Z77 chipset provides six SATA ports (two 6Gb/s), Asrock uses the ASMedia ASM1061 6Gb/s controller for an additional three ports, though this chip only supports two 6Gb/s ports, so really only two of the three ports can be used at the same time. The controller is connected to a pair of onboard SATA headers as well as an eSATA port on the I/O panel.

so the two grey SATA3_0_1 should be preferred. Don´t think this is the issue here, but better check

9-9-9-24 1.55 volts since your using 2 different sticks it might not work together.
Try the other steps in the link I gave you.

My bios version is 1.90. Is memtest.org much different than Memtest86? If so I will have to run it later since i had to leave for work.

memtest86 is running in windows as I remember correctly and won´t check the RAM completely

update the BIOS in BIOS itself, using the menu instant flash
