Re: GAS-EP45C-DS3R Post Issues.

Can you please give me a link to your ram so I can check warrantied voltages.

Then please give me your BIOS settings that you are using and I will advise back >>>

This is Just a template I use to ask people their settings, pay no attention to the numbers in it, replace with yours

Are you using Vista? Just checking...

Do you mean YOU Shut off your PC overnight, or the PC ITSELF Shuts off overnight, then you turn it on and have the issues?

Re: GAS-EP45C-DS3R Post Issues.

Looks good, if you still find you have issue post your final full settings that you manually set that fail and I will advise back. Once you get stable I will let you know which things you can lower in what order timing wise for your memory that is as you should not have to run them that loose

Ohh ya, that 1Hz beep is generally a memory timing. I often see it when tRD(Static tRead) is set to low for the Strap/multi and or voltages in use

Re: GAS-EP45C-DS3R Post Issues.

i have been testing and now the rig starts every time.. :D
playing sims2 or someting may generate a total lockup.. i dunno .

no temp issues.. . . according to bios probes.
perhaps some weird stuff.. im pondering exchanging my ramsticks for some Corsair dominator. or if i can get a good suggestion...

Regards Ola.

Re: GAS-EP45C-DS3R Post Issues.

I have the same motherboard and i had the same problem... In my case ram voltage was causing trouble. I have 2 sets of CM2X1024-8500C5D modules. Original voltage is 2.1V but motherboard set it as 1.8. Mostly strange is that i had to set it to 2.2V, since then i had have no problems.
