Sirs,
I have recently built 2 new systems with the following ram:-
KINGSTONS
Beast - 32GB Kit* (4x8GB) - DDR3 1866MHz CL10 Intel XMP DIMM
Part Number: KHX18C10AT3K4/32X
Specs: DDR3, 1866MHz, CL10, 1.5V, Unbuffered, Spec Sheet PDF
Profile 1: 1866MHz, 10-11-10, 1.5V
Profile 2: 1600MHz, 9-9-9, 1.5V
System specs are both :-
Asus Sabertooth AMD3 RV 2.0
2 x 8mb sticks in each system
AMD FX9590
Thermaltake Toughpower Gold 750 Watt
Crucial 512GB SSD
WD SATA drives
PCI SCIS card for 2 x SAT & 1 x IDE
Both systems use R9 280 graphics cards, 1 is MSI & 1 is Sapphire
Windows 8.1Pro x 64 bit
Classic shell start menu installed.
Microsoft office
QuickBooks
Can’t think to mention anything else?
I am having trouble with 1 of the systems, being the one with the MSI card.
Problem being:-
Initially system was OK
This system ran fine for approx. 2 weeks, but started to have issues firstly on installing a 775mb windows update; the system wouldn't install it, would try but then rebooted saying removing changes?
Occasionally, would get locked in restarting loop, but not always.
After this point I did the “move user folders to another drive “ by Kari, ie:- http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/4275-user-profiles-relocate-another-partition-disk.html and this ran 110%, system in fact seemed a bit better?
Then I spilt a cup coffee on keyboard, unplugged keyboard to change it out & inadvertently placed the usb connection in another lower IO panel outlet, computer didn’t like that at all, it then went downhill from there, there were many small glitches & errors on my part to the point where it slowly crashed and I ended up doing a clean re-install on the formatted SSD.
This fresh re-install was Saturday, & all went well, once I had several major windows updates installed & everything seemed to be running fine, I took 3 different COMPLETE system backups with Acronis True image 2015 & saved these images to 3 different removable drives. At this stage, everything seemed fine.
I then went ahead, once I had what I thought were good backups & again did the:- move user folders, by Kari & in doing so, made a horrible error, I inadvertently mixed up my dive assignments & long story short, kept rebooting & restarting in audit mode.
I then recovered my middle of 3 full backups of the entire system & recovered it back to my SSD,
From the start of the new recovery installation, upon boot up & just before bios, I sometimes got a red flash or red flicker prior to loading bios, this has now improved since I removed all extra devices, I am NOW currently down to bare bones devices, ie:- 1 stick of ram, SSD, keyboard & mouse, both being on USB IO panel, all USB connections on MB disconnected.
I was before going to “bare bones” always stuck in constant restart when rebooting & if I disable fast start up in power options, sometimes I was stuck in shutdown.
If I leave fast start up in power options, it will usually shutdown OK
If I leave the system running with no input for say 20 minutes, the system will sort of lock up, being the start button will go black & not allow to access shutdown, restart etc in classic shell.
If I try to windows update, it will indefinitely lock on searching for updates until that screen locks still as it were, searching & there in no activity & the green action bar freezes, I can however shutdown that window with no ill effects.
I have done WD data lifeguard test on SSD in extended test & all is passed OK.
This system ran fine for approx. 2 weeks, but started to have issues firstly on installing a 775mb windows update, the system wouldn't install it, would try but then rebooted saying removing changes?
Having read everything, wherever I can find it, & found nothing EXACTLY the same, BUT while re reading the motherboard manual, I see that my memory is not from a "qualified vendor"????
My memory is:-
Beast - 32GB Kit* (4x8GB) - DDR3 1866MHz CL10 Intel XMP DIMM
Part Number: KHX18C10AT3K4/32X
Specs: DDR3, 1866MHz, CL10, 1.5V, Unbuffered, Spec Sheet PDF
Profile 1: 1866MHz, 10-11-10, 1.5V
Profile 2: 1600MHz, 9-9-9, 1.5V
Could this memory be my problem?
To me, this seems hardware related, & probably memory because of the issues?
Now after all this & system now being at a bare bones system stage & after many restarts & shutdowns, everything has improved dramatically to the point where I have no restarting & shutdown issues at all.
I know you’re going to tell me to install one piece at a time until all hardware is back in & no problems, but what & where should I be on the lookout for & in what order of re-installation would be the best way to troubleshoot this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanking you all for any help you can send my way
Much appreciated
Peter
