Motherboard or PSU not sure

[shambles1980]

i doubt this hasnt been asked before.
but is your BSOD stop code ending with "50"
And What voltages is your ram supposed to use and what voltages is it set to use..

"to me sounds like low voltage to the ram"

Here is one of the most recent ones after carrying out test in conjunction with Kingston;

In relation to the XMP profiles and memory settings these are as follows;

XMP Profile #1: DDR4-3000 CL15-16-16 @1.35V
XMP Profile #2: DDR4-2666 CL14-14-14 @1.35V

Asus have suggested manually setting the memory timings 15-16-16-39 and the memory voltage to 1.35V which are the same settings the XMP profiles use and test the system again. They also suggested a faulty motherboard even but I have explained to them that Kingston tested on another identical mother board and memory kit and found the same issue.

Now Asus are advising me to ask Kingston to test the memory kit on other X99 series motherboards to see if they still have the same issues. To be honest I am over it I just want the memory kit replaced with one that has XMP profiles that actually work. I think they are playing the responsibility game as this is listed on the QVL under 3000MHz

im not an expert on this stuff..
but im pretty sure your bsod is saying "I shut down because you have malware"

Not an expert on that honestly and just going off the fact that its a buffer overflow error and it is showing the security codes it was expecting, which I THINK means the code was changed between 1 point and the other..
Having said that an OS is not going to know the difference between an error and a change.
but that is basically what its saying..
I sent this with this special code. the special code was wrong so i shut the hell down so you didnt get hacked..

"basically the error code does not help lol"

Went through all this with debugging tool defiantly from what we can see memory related, is so happens that after a few more days testing Kingston advised that the cleaned their CPU socket and tested two kits which worked fine. They sent me there results.

I cleaned the sockets to be on the safe side and run memtest86+ with XMP profile set as they did in their labs and errors. Basically faulty memory kit it seems which they have offered to either replace or I can send back to my vendor for refund with their reference number provided.

I think I will be going with a different kit to be honest with my vendor.

Now though the cold boot issue has returned which seems to be after running memtest but could just be coincidence back to flashing the BIOS again.

To be honest I'm over the whole experience now, going to get the system stable and run memory at default (XMP disabled) until the memory kit I want is in stock so I can swap out, and now prices have come down I will have $200 change for my trouble at least.

Just to update you guys got the faulty memory kit issue resolved and changed to G.Skill kit, all was working perfectly for approximately 2 -3 weeks with no issued what so ever then for no apparent reason the cold boot issue has come back nothing internally, externally or bios wise had been changed. Been stuck with this now for a few weeks and the case was kept open with Asus, I went back to them to try and get a solution and it has been 3 days now with no response.

I tried all sorts;

• Bios Flash back several bios versions before returning to 1801
• Removed and re-seated memory, graphics cards and CPU's
• Checked all cables are plugged in properly
• Cleared CMOS several times
• Cleaned CPU socket and checked for bent pins
• Disabled XMP Throughout process, idea was to resolve any issues before enabling again due to the mild overclocking factor with XPM enabled.

Also I am having random USB issues requiring me to unplug and plug back in devices as the stop working, I figured this to be a Windows issue unit notice it would happen in bios to for example the mouse.

Now back on my old system and sent motherboard back as I am quite honestly over the whole experience.

Hey guys,

Thought I put this post to rest with an update, turns out motherboard was faulty and retailer sent back to ASUS for repair, came back after 6-7 weeks and they tested it and found it was still faulty gave me a full refund due to being superseded by the U3.1.

Anyways new board is on the way but I went for the Rampage V Extreme this time and cant wait to get this baby installed, due in a couple of days!

Thanks all for the help and support with the issues I was having, talk about bad luck 7 years with no RMA's or faulty components then I get two in one build (memory and motherboard), fingers crossed all good from here on in.

Not sure if anyone is interest but going to post anyway just in case I can save someone else the nightmares I have been through.

So im now on my 3rd board received last week previous to both went for RMA cam back still faulty when tested by the retailer and swapped over. Installed this new one, all working perfect shutdown an in the morning went to boot up and back to having to recycle the power the service guys where i purchased had no comment so I took it upon myself to go get the PSU tested thinking there is no way I can have 3 faulty board in a row and that a voltage issue must be the cause and has fried the previous 2. Took the whole pc into a local store for diagnostic and hey presto PSU is the problem which now explains a a lot.

Pretty much a year without the pc working, and being that it was a Seasonic the last thing I expected!
