Hey everyone! I have a small issue, I'm sure it's just something I've probobly done in the motherboard configuration that is causing this.
Here is my new computer hardware...
Intel BOXDX58OG LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 012-P3-1571-AR GeForce GTX 570 HD w/Display-Port (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support ...
Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601950
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL (3 packs of 2)
OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Thermaltake TR-800P TR2 BRONZE 800W ATX 12V V2.3 / EPS 12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
My issue is that when I put in all 24gigs of ram, the computer randomly locks up. I would like to say that it's only in Windows 7 (64 bit), but it's actually happening in the boot sequence sometimes.
The harddrive is plugged into an SATAIII slot on the motherboard. (this is my second harddrive, newegg sent me a bad one, had to return it and buy a new one at compusa).
My thinking is that it could be a memory timing issue. When set to automaticly detect the timings in the motherboard it says that the memory is tCL = 7, tRCD = 7, tRP = 7, and tRAS = 18. So I set them to tCL = 9, tRCD = 9, tRP = 9, and tRAS = 24. But some of these other options in the motherboard BIOS I have never heard of before, so I don't know what to set them to. I also tried bumping up the voltage slightly, which only causes the BIOS to say it cannot post, and therefore a change needs to be made in the BIOS. Then locks up.
It seems when I plug in less ram (not the full 24gigs), the computer either doesn't freeze or it prolongs normal behavior.
