Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

[Emiliam]

Hi, new to the forum and looking for assistance.

I have a new pc with windows 7 64 bit that is blue screening and then rebooting at randoms times. I have a ga-p55m-ud2 motherboard with 2x2gb of adata ram ad3u1333b2g9-b CL value= 9.

I flashed bios from version 3 to version 6 and re-installed the OS and still having same issue. I have ran memtest and windows memory diagnostics but both came back with no errors.

Ram is recognized in bios and seems to have all the correct settings. I know the ram is not on the gigabyte tested list for this motherboard but it was purchased from a vendor so I don't know if I have an option to rma it or not.

These are the last couple of error messages prior to reboot:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000041287, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000).

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000005002, 0xfffff70001080000, 0x0000000000004b35, 0x03006b4efffffffe).

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000005002, 0xfffff70001080000, 0x0000000000001438, 0xaf001439fffffffe

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

Are you setting your own Ram voltages? You need to

Can you post me a link to your memory? If not I can look it up later when I get back.

Give me your full settings and I will advise back, template to do that is linked in my signature

I'm not setting my own voltages. I will get bios settings shortly.

Thanks

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

Ok, I've changed all settings suggested except Performance Enhance (SPD). I left it at Turbo. I thought all was well but this afternoon I had 2 bluescreens within 30 minutes apart. One happened when I was copying data from another pc and it just locked up while copying.

Both bluescreens had same error:
STOP 0x0000000A (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL)

Not sure what it could be at this point. I have update NIC driver from gigabyte site.

cpu: core i7 860

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

PC was purchased from Ibuypower. I went to their forum and there are 3 or 4 people with same model and exact same issues. Hopefully there is a solution to this issue.

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

Please try Performance Enhance Standard and Extreme

Also, sorry I did not mention before, maybe because of the slow ram speed?, please try 1.2-1.25 QPI/Vtt

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

Emiliam - I have the same mobo and memory (only 2x2gb) - and had the same problem! I called iBuyPower tech support. Their suggestion was to test 1 stick at a time in each slot. After lots of *successful* memory tests, one of the sticks finally failed consistently. I've been running on 2gb, waiting for two new DIMMs on the way (RMA). I'll test those, keep two and return two (one of which is *known* to be bad.)

Note - the mobo PDF says to use "DDR3_1 or DDR3_3 socket if only installing ONE DDR3 module"... I couldn't get the machine to boot with one stick in either of the other two sockets (DDR3_2 and DDR3_4 - those are the blue ones, with DDR3_2 being closest to the CPU.) From the CPU, they are labeled 2,1,4,3... That should save you some time when testing.

Also of note, I had purchased 2x2gb of G.Skill, thinking I could simply add it (as in the "old days") - now I know better. The interesting thing is that I read it's best to SET the timings (vs "auto") so I updated those. The NEW memory did not work (kept crashing) until I changed the RATE to 2. (The new sticks are 8-8-8-24-2N) Since these are working fine, I plan to purchase 4 more Gb of G.Skill so a 4 DIMMs will be the same. Let me know if you can't RMA the A-Data - I'll have 2 known good ones on hand!

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

I think I had a bad stick of ram. I didn't worry about rma via ibuypower. I ended up buying some memory that was on gigabyte's tested list.

I bought 2x2gb of gskill ddr3-1600 pc3-12800 f3-12800cl9d-4gbnq. Installed memory this morning. Intial boot up I set to optimized defaults and noticed that it was still showing memory frequency as 1333. I enabled xmp and frequency is now correct. I haven't manually set anything else yet. The only thing that is weird is that spd tab in cpu-z says memory max bandwidth is pc3-10700 (667 MHz).

Jedec#2 533MHz
Jedec#3 609MHz
Jedec#4 685MHz
XMP-1600 800MHz

Under memory tab in cpu-z everything looks ok

DRAM frequency 799.4MHz
FSB:DRAM 2:12
CL 9
tRCD 9
tRP 9
tRAS 24
tRFC 88 Clocks
CR 2T

Thanks for all of your help. Hopefully no more blue screens.

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

So - any more blue screens? I have the same motherboard and adata ram...

[Emiliam]

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

Nope, no more blue screens. Everything has been running fine. Haven't changed anything in bios.

[red454]

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

Good to hear your problem was solved.

I was getting a lot of blue screens so I RMAed my motherboard and got rev 1.1 (I had 1.0). I was hoping that would take care of it. It seemed to be better, but still got a few blue screens. The I reloaded Windows 7 thinking that perhaps some updated drivers were the problem. No change.

Flashed the Bios to F7 a few days ago. That seems to have further reduced the blue screens to one a day so far. The only other thing I have noticed is that I will get an occasional system freeze that requires a hard reboot.

My system is a 938i from Ibuypower. What video card are you running?

Re: Random reboots with ga-p55-ud2 rev 1

i think the newer revisions have new cpu sockets as the old ones showed signed of burning with xtreme overclocking,also if your running with qpi voltage on auto its best to set it to 1.20000 or 1.250000v as auto will overvolt it and its less stable
