Hey guys, new here and I hope that I have posted in the right section

I have been having some trouble with my new build. It froze after POST and in the BIOS after 2 or 3 minutes. I've looked all over Google looking for solution and i've checked all the hardware (had no soft on the pc yet) and went to exchange memory, which seemed to be causing the system to lock up. Memory helped a bit, the system worked a bit longer now without freezing and going into a boot loop.

My mobo uses different memory timings to the ones that the RAM is actually supposed to use (look below) and I think tweeking this might increase the stability of the system and remove the freezing problem. Any help on what to change guys? Btw. the cpu is stock with no o'c.

It's supposed to be 9-9-9-24 i belive. I changed that but the problem consisted and i'm still a newb and don't wanna change anything. Help?

Did you save the settings when you exited the BIOS? F10 then save settings and exit/restart if you didn't.

Your timings should look like this. RAM voltage and everything else is ok though.

CAS Latency Time 9

tRCD 9

tRP 9

tRAS 24
 
Sounds like you could have a faulty component. Try with only one stick of RAM and if it still freezes swap it for the other one, if it still freezes it's not the RAM unless both sticks are faulty. Could also be your HDD or motherboard though.

One other thing to try would be to unplug everything from the motherboard and take the CMOS battery out of it and then leave it for 20 mins, put everything back together and try again.
 
Tried all this mate. Like I said I exchanged the RAM and still the same thing happends. It might be the motherboard, however, the mobo i bought was originally a 'New - Refurbished' Iteam that has been tested by Giagabyte themself and given a 1 year warranty on top of it.

I've read a lot about this and it's not only me that's having the problem, it seems that Lots of Gigabytes's P67/Z68 boards are having this and the way around this is a 'custom' BIOS. People say the 'f3d' works well, but, I can't find it anywhere.
 
Thanks a lot for the link! +1 for you mate. Will test all these versions and tell you how I did. If not we'll think of something else

Are all of the memory slots filled? If so, check the manual in case you need to run at a slower speed with all slots full. I know my old 770-UD3 does this (knocks DDR2-1066 down to 800 with all slots full), but whether this still happens on the newer boards I don't know.

No mate. I'm running Dual channel 2x4GB @ 1600MHz . I have also tried 1333MHz which doesn't seem to help. Maybe, a new board is the way to go.
