About to put a stake through my older intel....everything I purchase seems to fail on me :(
"The Story"
When i had first purchased my computer back when i7 were close to release i went with a foxconn motherboard, a horrible decision on my part. Anyway. I had been run a 3x2 Gb sticks of G.Skill 1600mhz of memory for some time, one of the sticks was faulty that i would have to "re map" my memory on each start - to prevent windows from blue screening.
I had then changed my board (foxconn after it started to fail picking up my HDD and SSD) to the GA-X58A-UD5, my current board. It seem to always pick up on the full amount of memory mounted in my unit, however it still suffered from bluescreening if I didnt "re map" the memory per cold start.
I finally decided to get new memory (as I am sick of the old ones, doing the same routine to get my computer to boot) I went with Corsair Dominator (CMD12GX3M6A1600C8) ((6x2gb sticks)). I throughly checked to see if this memory was compatable on the corsair website with my board however im not sure if thats a good figure to go by. Now I understand there may be some voltage tweaks etc to get this working...
My current specs:
GA-X58A-UD5 (rev 2.0)
Intel Core i7-920 @ 2.66ghz
Corsair Dominator (6x2gb sticks CMD12GX3M6A1600C8)
EVGA 580GTX
Windows 7 Ultimate
1 x Hitachi 1TB Spinpoint
1 x WD 2TB Black
Creative X-Fi Fatality
1000wat Antec power supply.
^ I think thats all thats needed D:
"The Problem"
My computer can seem to see all 12gb in the POST and in Windows (if i can get to windows) however no matter what settings ive tried in the motherboard, timings, voltages I cannot seem to get it stable. Windows bluescreens either telling me its a page fault or a memory management issue. I did manage to stop the bluescreen however programs would randomly terminate or not start at all, telling me they had no access to the memory or read and write errors.
Im assuming this is a voltage for so many sticks sought of thing. I always have trouble getting ram to work with newer computers :( - so I was wondering if someone could help me with this. If your wondering why I need 12gb of ram is that I use alot of 3DS Max, AutoCad, Photoshop and After Effects.
Note I dont want to O/C the processor - as its getting a little old now... I also don't mind if my ram can only run at 1333 instead of the full 1600. I have wondered if this is a memory controller issue on my proccessor however I dont have another intel handy to test this.
EDIT:
Also tried similar settings or the same to this thread:
with no luck :(
Someone help I really need my rig back :(
