Oh great and wise TPU community, I come to you asking for help. Heh, so, ok, my problem is that I have an older X58 system containing the following:
i7 920 (cooled with a Corsair H100i V2)
ASUS P6T V2 Deluxe (running 1202 BIOS)
12GB G.Skill F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ
ASUS Strix GTX 980
Samsung 840 Pro SSD
Is that for a long time, the system has been working perfectly, then recently I was given an older Intel Xeon X5690 and ever since I installed it, the rig has been having strange issues. From what I can see, randomly at POST, it’s not detecting all of my RAM, but when it does and I get into Windows, it will just randomly blue screen.
So, I’m thinking the issue may be caused by the new CPU, I put my old 920 back in, and the same problem appears to be occurring. When I have all my RAM sticks in (6x2GB), the machine will sometimes detect 12GB & other times, it’ll only detect around 8GB. I’ve also pulled the BIOS battery, left the machine off AC for 24 hours, put a fresh battery in and powered on but problem still persists.
I’m currently running Memtest on 1 stick at a time to see if I can pin down a dodgy stick but I was wondering if anyone could recommend I do something or if they have seen a similar problem before, to point me in the right direction.
I would welcome and very much appreciate any feedback and suggestions (I will apologise in advance if I am delayed in putting updates or responding to your comments, I’m in Australia so there’ll be a time difference)
Cheers!
