Small Issue

KCB064 · Dec 4, 2009

Hey All,
Looking for a simple solution to a small problem. Just built a new system with these components:
EVGA x58 SLI 3x
i7-920 Overclocked to 3.86
ATI 5770
6gb DDR3 kinston 1600mhz
850w PSU
In Antec 1200

System runs like a champ. OCed fine, Temps great, really no problems but one small one. When I shut it down overnight and start it up in the morning it won't POST; just sits there. Turn off and back on, it POSTs fine. Restart several times throughout day just fine. Just seems to happen overnight...
ANy one have any ideas?

You should try re-seating all cards including the mem...could just be a slight open in the system...the connection doesn't work until it gets warmed up a bit?
could be a bad connection in one of your slots. Could also be the power supply.
If it is a brand new board then I would rma it just to be sure...I mean if it is acting goofy now, just wait till the warranty wears out.
A down and dirty way to see if the power supply is going is to go into the setup program and look at the "PC health status" and watch your system voltages and see if they jump wildly. Remember that the voltages will vary even with the best power supplies but you should be able to tell if it is going too far in either direction...in particular look at the 12 volt rails.
I hope this helps and didn't confuse you too much.

Do you have any usb devices plugged up to it?

Ok morning time is here...reseated all cards and mem and it still does it. The POST code LCD halts at 26 which is Clock Gen Init onboard clock generator and sensor. Not quite sure why the clock would have anything to do with it.

Voltages are steady and no usbs other than keyboard mouse and printer

Can you post a link to your RAM? Try changing Vdroop Control to Without Vdroop, and change VTT Voltage to +200mV which equates to 1.3V.

What do u mean by a link to RAM? Sorry for the ignorance... Changing settings now...

redduc900 · Dec 5, 2009

A website link to your specific RAM, for example a link to the Kingston site that shows the part number and SPD timings / DRAM voltage...

http://www.kingston.com/HyperX/Products/khx_ddr3.asp

... or you could post a pic. of CPU-Z open to the SPD tab, which shows the same info.

KCB064 · Dec 5, 2009

wow i was really overthinking that one... lol

here is the datasheet on mine
http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX2000C9D3T1K3_6GX.pdf

redduc900 · Dec 5, 2009

That's DDR3-2000MHz RAM rated for 9-9-9, but in your first post you have DDR3-1600MHz listed. If you have DDR3-2000, why are you only running it at a 2:8 DRAM ratio / effective 1464MHz DRAM frequency?

KCB064 · Dec 5, 2009

I knocked it down thinking it may have been part of the problem...

redduc900 · Dec 5, 2009

If you change the DRAM ratio back to 2:10 / effective DRAM frequency of 1830MHz at a BCLK of 183MHz, then you'll need to increase the VTT voltage to around 1.4 - 1.5V or so. Then only change the first three primary timings to 9-9-9, and leave tRAS and all other sub-timings on AUTO. You'll also want to change the Uncore frequency to 21x at 2:10 = 3843MHz.
