Download CPU-z

Run and give me the value of DRAM Frequency in the Memory TAB.

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 20:10

1596.2 mhz

OK, that's set correctly - but i didn't like the sound of the start up process.

Could you do a reboot and post back.

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 20:25

switched on/off a few times again.....no scanning/repairing drives this time though

Not great.

OK, back to BIOS:

Select M.I.T. Tab
Select Advanced Frequency Settings

Once there post the DRAM/DDR voltage.

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 20:31

There's no option in there for DRAM/DDR voltage

Edit: In the advanced voltage settings, DRAM Voltage is on auto, 1.200V

Plec · 29 Aug 2017 at 20:32

What does the Frequency read now?

Memory frequency 3200MHz

See edit in last post @Plec

Great.

Set this to 1.35V - still within memory spec.

Save and exit.

Once booted - look at CPU-z Frequency post back with boot sequence (i.e. - looped or not) and value of frequency.

It's not letting me adjust anything, hitting return on the option but nothing happening?

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 20:39

Ok, I've typed 1.35, it's changed to 1.350v and next to it on the right its saying 1.200v

Save and exit??

I knew if waited you would find it

And yes.

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 20:47

Switched on and off about 5 times that time, got a bit worried :eek:

DRAM Frequency on cpu z 1596.2

:/

You definitely saved and exited?

Go back to BIOS and check that memory is set to 1.35V.

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 20:51

yeah saved and exited, ill go back into bios now.....

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 20:54

yes set to 1.35v,

booted up normally then too

phew

That's promising - but don't trust it yet.

Open CPU-z and list the values below the DRAM Frequency - and including DRAM value.

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 21:01

DRAM frequency 1596.2
fsb dram 1:16
cas latency 16.0 clocks
tRCD 18 clocks
tRP 18 clocks
tRAS 36 clocks
tRC 76 clocks
cr 1T

Plec · 29 Aug 2017 at 21:03

Timings are fine - do another reboot. If it boots OK we'll setup the HDD.

dmann · 29 Aug 2017 at 21:07

turned on/off just once that time
