Here is the system:
MSI Pro-E X58 motherboard (latest bios)
i7 930 w/H50 cooler
TR3X6G1600C8D 6GB DDR3 kit (new ram)
CM3X2G1333C9 (total of three 4GB kits as test module pool)
I've been running this setup with 6GB worth of the CM3X... modules for about a month. RAM works fine at 1333 rated speed. Also ran it for quite some time at 1200MHz ram speed when the CPU was overclocked to 4.2GHz.
Bought the TR3X... kit today, removed all old ram modules, installed the new ones and immediately went into the BIOS (CPU overclocked) and changed it to 1600 with rated timings and 1.65V. Windows failed to boot. Locks up and reboots before even asking for login.
Back in the bios reset bios defaults and made sure CPU settings were stock then set RAM to XMP settings (1600, 1.65v, 8T, etc) and windows still fails to boot.
Changed RAM settings to 1333 and rated timings. Windows boots but eventually locks up. Changed timings to 9T, still eventually locks up.
Changed settings in bios to stock CPU and XMP memory settings then started Memtest86. Memtest86 v3.4 finished at least 1 pass with no errors. Reboot and immediately locks up durring windows boot.
I'm stumped. I'd appreciate any further troubleshooting ideas.
Thanks for looking!
