Issue with Gigabyte

[jamesstewart]

Hello, I have been building simply PC, but I have been receiving an error due to incompatibility in motherboard and ram(i think) sudden shutdown or monitor going to sleep and cpu hang

here's the specs

• intel i5-7500
• gigabyte GA B150M-D3V
• 2XDDR4 8GB-2400GHZ
• Silverstone Strider st50f 500w
• monitor 24 inches
• kingston nvme 500gb

I've tried to fix the issue and sometimes randomly sleep the monitor and hang again, so i think might be possible ram//

Is it the CPU cant handle 24inches ?? Or the ram 2400ghz changing the frequency into 1600ghz still get an error??

No answer? Hope that someone can help me solve my problem

Let me throw in what I have experienced before though not with GG MoBo then.

A. Check if your power supply is enough. Yours is 500W, maybe you are using close to 500W and sometimes exceed that causing the SD? Reduce power usage over a day and see if it still shuts down.

B. You mentioned RAM. If you have spare RAM, swap them and see.

Good luck!

It sounds like you might be dealing with a compatibility issue between your motherboard and RAM. The Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3V motherboard supports DDR4 RAM up to 2133 MHz natively. Your RAM is 2400 MHz, which could be causing instability. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue: ^{_{geometry dash}}

1. Check BIOS Settings: Ensure that your BIOS is up to date. Sometimes, BIOS updates can improve RAM compatibility and stability. You can find the latest BIOS for your motherboard on the Gigabyte website.

2. Adjust RAM Speed: Try setting the RAM speed to 2133 MHz in the BIOS. This matches the motherboard's supported speed and might resolve the instability.

3. Test RAM Modules: Run a memory test using software like MemTest86 to check if the RAM modules are faulty. This can help identify if the problem is with the RAM itself.

4. Single RAM Module: Try running the system with just one RAM module to see if the issue persists. If it runs stable with one module, then the problem might be with the dual-channel setup or one of the modules.

5. Power Supply Check: Although less likely, ensure your power supply is providing stable power. A 500W power supply should be sufficient for your setup, but it's worth checking for any power delivery issues.

6. Monitor and GPU: The CPU can handle a 24-inch monitor without issues, so the problem is not related to the monitor size. If you have a dedicated GPU, make sure it's seated properly and its drivers are up to date.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you might need to consider getting RAM that runs at 2133 MHz to match the motherboard's supported speed.

The dual-channel configuration or one of the modules may be the issue if it functions steadily with only one module.

Based on the specs you provided and the issues you're experiencing, it's unlikely that the size of the monitor or the frequency of the RAM is directly causing the problem. Instead, the issues you're describing—such as sudden shutdowns, monitor going to sleep, and CPU hangs—are more commonly related to hardware compatibility, power supply issues, or thermal problems.

Check that your RAM is set to 2400MHz in BIOS using XMP, update chipset and graphics drivers, and review Windows power settings.

Make sure the BIOS is current on your system. Updates to the BIOS occasionally make RAM more stable and compatible. The Gigabyte website has the most recent BIOS for your motherboard.

First, make sure your RAM is installed in the correct slots (check the motherboard manual for dual-channel configuration). The Gigabyte GA B150M-D3V supports DDR4 RAM up to 2133 MHz, so running it at 2400 MHz may cause instability unless the motherboard is overclocked or the RAM is downclocked to a lower frequency (1600 MHz could be a safe test). You might also want to update your motherboard's BIOS to the latest version, as this can fix compatibility issues. Finally, double-check your power supply connections and ensure the PSU is sufficient for your setup, although 500W should typically be enough.
