i bought this bundle about 3 weeks ago,and have run into a few problems with it.
when the computer cold boots,eg. when its been turned off for a few days i get problems, windows sometimes will not load,windows explorer will keep crashing,and after windows explorer crashes the computer blue screens.
if i then leave it for a few minutes it boots fine,can jump straight into bad company 2 and the computer is stable all day.
memtest shows no errors,all my drivers are up to date and it was a fresh install of 64-bit windows 7.
i`m stumped by this it`s like the computer needs to "warm-up" before it`s stable.
i did find this http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/36486-ga-p55-ud3-cold-boot-bsod-problem-11.html
This is pretty much the same problem I`m having,should I RMA my memory?

As it's an OCUK bundle you should contact them.

You might have to return the whole bundle.

My old Gigabyte 965P-S3 had serious cold boot problems, looking around the internet Gigabyte and cold boot issues seem to be a very common thing, thankfully i have had no issues yet with my H55M-UD2H.

Well the kind sir at o/c arranged my RMA and a courier to pick my stuff up,,,=good times.
The courier didn`t show up after taking the day of word,,,,=bad times.
Not o/c`s fault but annoyed me no end.
Well I`ll have to arranged another pick-up :mad:

Contacted o/c this morning,arranged another courier for today.
Time will tell.......

Shokk · 2 Dec 2010 at 19:16

Well again the courier didnt show.
Again I have spent the entire day waiting for him to show.
This is getting silly, parts that need rma`d and I cant even get them back to o/c.
Please,please sort this out,it`s bad enough being without my rig,without having to put up with all of this. :mad:

Well the 3rd today,after 20mins on the phone, I booked yet another courier.
I know england scotland and wales have heavy show,but I`m in n.ireland and its only started snowing today.
Again time will tell......

There is a god, courier picked up my stuff, hopefully o/c wont be to long sorting it out...

Shokk · 19 Dec 2010 at 15:19

Well my bundle arrived at o/c on the 7th dec,and i`ve heard nothing back for o/c about it.
I`ve tried the webnote system,and got no reply,I phoned and was told the bundle had not been checked.
Even posted on the rma fourm hoping for a reply.
