I've just got round to putting my i5-4670k/Asus Z97-A together. I used the same components to build my Dad a system a couple of months ago, so I know this shouldn't be happening!
When I run Maxxmemm preview, the program just locks up, normally without showing any information about the RAM as it should. I'm not even talking about running the benchmark, I can't get that far. Once the app has been run, my cursor disappears, although I can still right-click on the desktop to bring up the menu or open the start menu and click on stuff, although a lot of the time nothing happens. Opening Task Manager, I can right-click and kill stuff but TM doesn't update. I only know that it's killed the program in question as trying to do it again throws up an error.
I'm using the same BIOS, 1205, as on my Dad's system. Different RAM but I've tried with it at 1333Mhz instead of it's rated 1600Mhz in case that is a problem when running 4 sticks (I think that's more an AMD issue though). I tried deleting the program and it's .cfg file and installing the .exe again from a fresh download (still the same version, v2.01, which is the latest) and then it did manage to show the RAM details but that might have been due to running at 1333Mhz instead of 1600Mhz as that was the first try after switching it down and it still resulted in the same problems anyway.
I came from an AMD motherboard/CPU but after installing the new board/CPU and booting into Win8.1, it showed the "Hi, setting up.." screen briefly and then everything seemed fine. I had to install some drivers (NIC, soundcard, integrated graphics, Intel chipset, Intel Management Engine Interface, Asus Thermal Probe) but apart from that everything seems normal, other than this issue with Maxxmemm Preview (although that probably means I'm going to run into more problems until I fix whatever's causing it). I initially started without my ATI 6950 GPU installed, just with the Intel onboard graphics and then put the card in and booted with that, which seems to be fine.
Maxxmemm Preview seems to have CPU-Z embedded into it to retrieve the RAM info, as I see that running in Task Manager when I go to kill it. I've tried running CPU-Z separately though (v1.70) and that works fine and shows the RAM details. I haven't tried to overclock at all yet, it's just at 3.8Ghz (I've got Windows in High Performance mode to avoid it changing clockspeed as I found that causes high latency problems which can affect audio/video playback). I OC'd my Dad's system to [email protected] without any problems though.
I'm running an eVGA SuperNova G2 750W PSU, so there's no concerns there.
