Hi all
I have 2 sets of RAM Patriot PSD38G1600KH 8GB url (site currently is down), so I have four identical 4GB DIMMs that occupy all 4 slots of ram in Asrock p67 pro3 motheboard. Default setting is 11-11-11-28-2T @ 1600MHz. Also i have processor intel i5-2500k and Windows 7 x64.
Today i updated BIOS from version 2.00B to the newest 3.10 downloaded from Asrock official website. After that i set in bios setting only for sata ahci, all rest settings stayed on defalut.
Started windows, everything seemed to be fine but after several minutes my pc reseted abnormally. Then it was resetting everytime in windows, bios or even i wasn’t able to get into bios, or bios got freezed. The problem i found was that memory was set to 1600MHz (default setting for my ram) and when i changed it to 1333MHz pc becomes fully stable and i had 16GB ram. But after pc restart, bios wont recognize my ram correctly anymore. I get only half of 16Gigs that is 8Gigs and also ram modules are recognized as 1333MHz, and its maximum what I can set in bios.
Some bios screens:
Here is small table in excel i've made, that shows how bios recognizes ram when modules are put only in certain slots:
1 - DDR3_A1
2 - DDR3_A2
3 - DDR3_B1
4 - DDR3_B2
CPU-Z and AIDA64 show that I have 4 banks of 4GB RAM, but windows and applications cannot allocate more than 8GB:
In short description:
1)Everything was working perfectly on bios 2.0 and 2.00B for a long time
2)Since i've made bios update to 3.10 i have only half (8 of 16 GB) of ram recognized in bios and windows, but: for short time after update i had correct 16GB and 1600MHZ but my pc was very unstable
3)RAM is recognized as 1333MHz, but should be 1600MHZ in default
3)CPU-Z and AIDA show that i have 4 banks of 4GB ram, CPU-Z shows that i have 16GB ram, AIDA64 shows 8GB, but applications cannot allocate more than 8GB
4)Changing bios to beta 3.01 wont change anything
5)Clearing cmos by button, by jumper or long-time putting off cmos battery wont change anything
I would be very happy if i could revert back to 2.00B, and what i read its probably impossible, but maybe there is a way for doing this? Thx for help.
EDIT: I also noticed that maximum multiplier i can set is 37, same issues as in this thread
