New build problems

First time I saw your thread.

It's motherboard hate to say it. Time for an rma =/

Did you verify that it wasn't the exact same board? I mean it's possible that Asus just post tested the board and deemed it working.
 
Hey, jlewis02, what do you mean by: "I was playing with voltages yesterday...." Can't you just get things running stock before you play with anything. Default settings should work, including CPU voltages.

It don't work at stock so I started playing with the volts some left everything stock and upped the IOH from 1.11v to 1.2v and I was able to install windows and do a few tests till I was downloading an anti virus when it restarted.
 
Im going to get a refund and get an evga board
Asus FTL
 
If you're still working on this, try this

1. disable in the bios additional RAID contollers/USB/fireware et cetra in
2. disable in the bios anything that is not strictly necessary for a basic boot (serial/parallel/built in sound/et cetra.)
3. install windows, it should at this point install
4. as soon as you are at a windows screen, install motherboard drivers from CD and be sure to include drivers for the disabled hardware.
5. Once all drivers are installed, reboot and renable one device at a time, allow windows to load, and repeat

I could be way off base but I've seen this issue twice now, it's rare but it does happen
 
Max rated voltage is 1.375. Set manually to max and see if it works.

I got windows to install and everything but its still BSOD 124 error.
 
Try this link at Intel: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...uctProduct=Intel®+Core™+i7+Processor&lang=eng

My volts are set by default/ auto.
Set XMP.
changed memory from 2t/2n to 1t/1n.
bumbed BCLK to 141 which is the max I can get changing only that setting.
Almost 3.4mhz: this is my day to day.

I just read a bsod 124 error that linked it to VGA any chance you have another video card around just to try? Try nvidia?

Another linked it to voltage droop on cpu, so they sugested up voltage: vcore and vtt settings. same post was using ATI.

I tried it with two diff HD5850s and it was the same.
I will try some more v-core its at 1.20v stock so I will go 1.25v
If I put it in xmp mode it gives 1.65v dram and 1.40qpi
 
Just got a bsod 101 error
 
cpu at 1.30v
ioh at 1.30v
qpi at 1.40
dram at 1.65

101 error
I change anything more it goes back to 124 error.
 
If you have access to nVidia card try that. I have looked at several online articles for bsod 124 and 101 and all were using ATI... so just to rule that out... I know it's a pain but most of the posts linked prob. to hardware issue. One post linked to possible AVG, which I stopped using over 5 Y ago due to bloat. For 32 & 64 bit I have been using Avast.

Did you get 1000w PSU yet? Also, I don't know if 5850's are power hogs but for my SLI i have the mobo molex graphics power port pluged in: I've read that it may or may not be needed and it is a pain in the A to plug in on this board with cpu cooler in the way.

Can you boot in safe mode?

Both our chips are rated by Intel for max v of 1.375 so I would not be concerned to use that setting. Thats the 920, 930 and 950.

Where do you think problem is at this point?

I got the psu yesterday and its still doing the samething so I will probably just refund the asus board and get somthing else.
 
I'm sorry you've had such difficulty.

Post back when you get a new board.
 
Now im really lost.I have it overclocked and it only crashes when I try to overclock the vid cars in msi afterburner.
BCLK 160mhz
DDR3 at 1603mhz
CPU 1.30v
QPI 1.40v
PLL 1.82v
DRAM 1.65v
IOH 1.15v
ICH 1.11v

So it's working now without bluescreening every re-boot?

It is but its getting hot with the stock cooler not going full speed when I run occt to see if it passes.
Can run all the 3dmark benches just fine.
 
try overclocking thru CCC and use GPU-Z to look at your temps.

If you are overclocking your CPU, then a non-stock HSF is a must. I have a V8 and it is great, but you can get better for a lower price.

You'll also need some TIM, the stock intel stuff is kinda crappy.
 
I can clock to 775/1125 in ccc but I know the cards can go higher.
I have a Megahalems but its not on it at the moment as I was trying to get it working stock first but that has got me nowhere.
 
i don;t think that they will clock as well when they are in x-fire, try pulling back on the memory and upping the GPU clock.
