Hello,
this is my first post on the forum.
I have a slight problem with my motherboard and RAM. Few years ago I built my system using 4x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws. Last week they gave me errors, so I sent them for RMA. Tired of waiting, I bought another RAM kit from Corsair, 2x8GB LP Red.
The new kit passed memtest and I can work in Windows normally. However, every 13 cold boots or so, there's one cold double boot. As I turned on power, the mobo starts working then suddenly stop before post. Few seconds later, it runs again into post and enters Windows normally.
I already tried clearing CMOS, load optimized default, turn on XMP, but the symptom persist.
Do you have any suggestion regarding this matter? If I should update the BIOS, which version is the safest?
here's my spec:
i7 3770K
Z77X-UD5H (rev 1.0) BIOS F14
previous RAM:
Ripjaws -F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL - G.SKILL DDR3 Memory
current RAM:
Vengeance® Low Profile ? 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CML16GX3M2A1600C10R)
GTX 680 Windforce OC
Seasonic 860w Platinum
Samsung 850 Pro 512GB
Toshiba 3TB HDD
Noctua NH-D14
everything runs on stock
edit:
I'm currently trying F15q. Strange that the HDD light is constantly on a few minutes after I leave my PC unatended, and off when I move the mouse.
