AMD 3870k crashes
I'm testing the following newbuild (its only 20 days old) setup which sometimes crashes without reason :
AMD 3870k APU using 1GB of total DDR3 RAM GA-A75-D3H Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1866 MHz @ 1.65 V Corsair CX500 V2 PSU Windows 7 X64 Ultimate SP1 all the hardware has the latest driver version (mb the latest firmware) AMD Catalyst 12.8 When Mozilla Firefox 16.0.1 is in use sometimes the browser crashes and reboots. Also may a BSOD will occur, but only two times I noticed it. When the system is in hibernation mode and awakes the screen shows a multicolor palette and hangs. This failure not happens often, but it happens. Sometimes the system awakes alone when it is in hibernation mode and hangs with the multicolor palette! Running furmark and prime95 for 3 hours an so, nothing happened. System found to be stable! What should I do? It is Catalyst's fault? |

Run super pi 32m and see if that passes all the way through the end. Sounds like a ram issue.

Ram issue? I'm using the DOCP profile for the 1866MHz with the correct timings. The default memory usage for the APU is 512MB and I selected the 1024MB.

Are you using the 1866 profile or a custom profile(Profile1 in my case)?

How many memory DIMMs? And are they new?
I would also say it could be a memory issue. Edit: Why are they running at 1.65v? |

Yes they are brand new. 2 dimms (2x4GB-CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9) to dual channel. But I think using the prime95 at the blend test, it had to be crashing if rams had issues.
Because system is not stable at 1.5V using 1866Mhz but only at 1600Mhz. Also on my 1090t I'm using 1.65V to my Kingston Predator T2 2133MHz instead of 1.6V. |

If stress tests were foolproof, things would be so much simpler.
They aren't stable? My pair of those sticks runs at 1.5 volt. Could try to run at 1333 to see if the problem goes away. |

Uninstall Firefox. Pretty simple solution. It's a firefox problem or Adobe Flash problem.

I have had 2 separate systems using windows 7, one a desktop, the other a laptop, and both of them came up with an error where it would BSOD after coming out of sleep mode.
These instances were a year apart. I still have both of the systems, and have to have sleep or hibernate disabled.

I thought they had fixed the issues with Firefox and Flash. Disabling hardware acceleration in Flash could perhaps also fix it.

Yes I know it for the Firefox, I think it's an issue with Catalyst 12.8 also. I had this problems with my 6950's recently this year also. Now I have a 7970.
But the problem of the hibernation troubles me and I connected it with Catalyst 12.8 drivers, because sometimes in the past Catalyst caused this kind of issues. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=102984 I don't remember which ram timings the system has. It's not mine, but I build it. So it would be better to put manually the timings? |

If I remember, it was Adobe Flash not playing well with Firefox. I don't think its a catalyst problem.

Ok I will test it and we'll see. It may be ram timings issue and I must enter them manually to be able to run 1866MHz at 1.5V. System only hangs and needs reboot only after hibernation (by users demand or by itshelf) and not when surfing with firefox. Thank you all!

Just to rule out memory how about you run memtest86+ and find out if your memory is really at fault. Once we know, we can rule it out instead of having everyone posting the same thing.

Problem solved. I disabled the wake up from S3 state through USB devices and downograded to Catalyst 12.6. No problems since then.

Stick with ddr3-1600 speeds and 1.5V. Yep i know you overpaid a kit for 50% but Llano will not benefit from that extra ddr3-1866 too much Quote:

For most of thing RAM could crash on resume from standby/hibernation as it plunges large chunks of data directly into memory And while normal bootup and short working period (you don't have your PC working 24/7 obviously if you're using hibernation ) wont result in same issues You must use custom profiles and cl9 or even cl10 might be too agressive for AMDs Llano with ddr3-1866. And for Trinity IMC that 1.65V might be "just a little high". I'd stick with pairing it with memory that could stably run at 1.5V and below. |

You are completely and unequivocally wrong on this one. Llano benefits very very heavily from each and every extra mhz in ram.
