Hello all,
I have problems with my newly bought Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3 rev 1.1 board when trying with an Intel i7-4970K and 4x8GB=32GB Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP memory modules (BLS4K8G3D1609ES2LX0).
Regardless of what BIOS settings I change or combination of m/b slots used, the system doesn't post whenever I use Channel A (i.e. slots DIMM3_2 and DIMM3_4 which are towards the cpu). The system gets power for a few seconds, but with just black screen, then the cpu fan stops, the system halts and restarts.
I have updated to F6 BIOS, tried different combinations (XMP memory profile 1/2/disabled, different RAM voltages/timings, etc) and resets and still nothing :( The RAM is 1.35V. I have tested and it is known to work in another (non-Gigabyte) motherboard.
The only working combinations for me is 1 or 2 modules in Channel B (i.e. slots DIMM3_3 and DIMM3_1). Anything in Channel A and I get a boot loop.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
