Help with Kingston HyperX

I was installing a network card and when I went to switch the PC back on it wouldnt start.
I unplugged the power cable and when I put it in again the PC came back on, only with this message, if you can make it out.


Any advice. Thanks.

UPDATE:
I went into the BIOS and changed all back to where it was before the BIOS reset itself.

that screen above is when oc/settings has failed for some reason,just press f2 to enter bios setup and your oc settings should still be there,then save/exit/reboot

if you dont do that it will reset itself
 
Before I originally installed my OS I changed to AHCI mode, now that the BIOS decided to reset itself back to default, I changed it back to AHCI mode, I always read that you have to set it to AHCI mode first, before the OS is installed, so how will this effect things now.

ahci has nothing to do with memory,its purely for hdd's/ssd's ect

if its booting up into windows with ahci mode enabled in bios then everything is fine

sorry i misread your post,if it blue screens at start up in ahci mode follow this guide

To resolve this issue, enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps:
Exit all Windows-based programs.
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci

In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.

After this you’ll have to restart your computer, go to BIOS and enable AHCI. When you log in to Windows again, you’ll notice the installation of drivers for AHCI. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation.

or click this link to a reg file to save having to do above,just click it reboot into bios,set ahci,then save/reboot into windows n thats it http://cdn.ithinkdiff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ahci.reg

Hi wazza300, thanks for the reply, ahci mode is enabled in the bios and everything seams to be working as it was, before the BIOS reset itself to default.

Thanks for that info too.

So, if all is working as it should, theres nothing to worry about!

Thanks.
 
Sorry to be a pest but I noticed a change in the BIOS compared to post 12.

I have mine running at 1600mhz @ 1.55v in the BIOS without issues.
Running this on a Gigabyte Z68 UD4, With 16gb.

^This... running at 1.55 not 1.65 - XMP is required.

BTW any of you guys got this memory running any faster ? I tried 1866 but it fails prime and I've not had the time to overclock that build so it's sitting there at stock.

I'll probably compare it to 16gigs of Ballistix too which I've got the feeling will overclock better ?

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say there.

1.55V is perfectly fine for Sandy Bridge, 1.65V isn't.

The XMP profile will use 1.65V so if anyone uses the XMP profile with this RAM and Sandy Bridge they should manually set a lower voltage.

OK, so if I go back into the BIOS again and use XMP to set the memory then go and change the v to 1.5V.

Yes.

You could start with, say, 1.55V.

If it works at that you can just leave it or then try reducing it a bit at a time.

Just enable the XMP profile and then manually set the voltage to ~1.5V or a little more if needed (maximum 1.575V).

a tip with bios screenshots,if you have a usb stick handy you can screenshot your bios if you press one of the f keys,for me its f12 but might be different on that board,it will tell you in bios screen at the side or bottom

Thanks again Surveyor, all was ok until the BIOS reset to default.
I believe I caused it to happen, I was fitting a network card. I had the PC off but didnt pull out any of the cables (inc power lead) at the back of the PC.

I think this was the problem.

Anyway thanks again.
