There's no defaults or failsafe defaults option on the BIOS, just optimized defaults. I already tried resetting the BIOS using the pins on the motherboard. That was one of the first things I did before I tried pulling the CMOS battery.

The 11-11-11-30 timings will work for the 12800CL9-4GBXL sticks. These timings are slower then that kit is designed work when running at 1600MHz so that wouldn't cause a problem. Plus I had both kits running a 9-9-9-24 1600MHz 1.5V for 4 months without issue, so I don't think there's a problem with the timings.

I didn't think about a bent pin issue. I'll check that when I change the RAM for the next batch of MemTest tests.

Thanks everyone for your help.
