GA-X58A-UD3Rrev2.0 cold boot BSODs memory_management

[Rossyra]

Hello everyone, I'm sorry my first post is not of glad tidings, but here goes...

Having a lot of frustration with this brand new system in my sig.

On cold boots it BSODs like crazy even at stock speeds, mostly reporting MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, but not always.

If I make a change to memory timings or DRAM voltage, save and exit the BIOS the systems runs fully stable under linpack, Prime95 (5hours+), memtest86 (5hours+) and gaming all day long.

Cold boot the next morning and I'm back to BSOD City, until I make ANY change to the ram timings in the BIOS, up or down, and reboot.

This happens whether I have it on failsafe defaults or overclock. Making a temporary change to RAM settings and rebooting makes the system stable with anything I can throw at it, overclocked or at stock.

I've been scouring the web looking for solutions, I've tried reseating the CPU, tightening/loosening the heatsink, ran up to 6 passes of Prime 95 and found no errors, carefully, checked the CPU socket pins are not bent, reseat the RAM, tried different slots/differen DIMMs in slots.

I'm getting nowhere, does any have any other suggestions?

Of course, I'd rather not have to reconfigure and reboot after every cold start.

Any help greatly appreciated

Do not use Fail Safe ever, it's not needed and should only be used in extreme troubleshooting.

This is probably due to your QPI/Vtt voltage being off a bit.

BIOS FC1 is out, maybe give it a try?

[Rossyra]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Did the new bios just come out today? I could swear I just checked last night.

Will check QPI/Vtt tonight and report back

[Lsdmeasap]

It's been out a while now I think.

If you are unsure and need some help with settings feel free to ask away, template in my signature for you to give us your full settings.

[Rossyra]

That's greatly appreciated, I'll track down FC1, and come back with my settings later tonight.

Thank you!

[Rossyra]

I've flashed FC1, so far so good. I read up on the linked over****ing guide and adjusted settings to what I thought was appropriate. Will report back again in the morning after another cold boot.

Here are my settings, these have been running stable linpack for an hour so far...

Let us know how your testing goes.

Haha, what did you write above that is ** out?

[Rossyra]

I must have missed the 'l' in overclocking

[Rossyra]

Looking very promising so far, first run of Linpack passed on cold boot, about to run again on max!

My temps have gone up a bit though, getting up to 80c on linpack load, may need to regrease my heatsink

[Rossyra]

Success! It ran Linpack on max, while I was surfing the web from a cold boot.

Before I wouldn't have been able to even use a browser without it crashing.

Are my settings okay do you think?

Thanks very much for the help, it is greatly, greatly appreciated
