Fresh GA-Z87MX-D3H, 4770K & 10.9 hangs (no KP)

I have the Z87-D3HP version, pretty much experiencing the same anomalies. You mentioned a 4GB Kit, I have 16 (4x4GB) in my system as well. Anyway, I noticed quite a few users on other boards having issues occupying all 4 DIMM slots. I haven't tested this myself because I just came across them today, but you could give it a shot. I'm going to try it when I get back home and see if it's the same issue and report back.
 
Googling on C-states after CCIP's post above I ran across this:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-h...ies-may-incompatible-intels-haswell-cpus.html

My Corsair HX 650W (bronze) might not be Haswell compatible according to Corsair, so I disabled C6/C7 states in the Bios.

That did not change anything, though.

After that I disabled C-States followed by P-States in org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

Still no solution.

I'll be damned if I give up. :banghead:

Please report back if you find anything!

Pulled two modules out, only have one in Slot A and Slot B (didn't realize they are grouped, use to it being setup S1, S3, S2, S4 (S=Slot). I've got facetime open, itunes open, copying files from my backup to my deskop, my browser and a terminal session. Facetime and copying files down would cause it to hang after a short while.

I'll try moving over the modules in both A slots after this stuff is done and gradually add my 3rd module to test for stability, but so far so good.

Current Specs:
Z87-D3HP
4670k
8GB (Channel A Dimm 0 & Channel B Dimm 0)
ATI HD 4850 (1GB)
Misc. Peripherals

I'll come back with other any progress or regressions
 
Cool. Hoping for the best.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow if it turns out well.

But what would be the reason for the modules not to work?

By the way - I've got a Win7 64 bit installation that runs just fine on the same machine.

I wish I knew, I haven't looked in to it much other than finding people experiencing BSOD's with Windows machines. I had Win 7 on the machine myself and I couldn't stress the Memory enough, but loading every address space (at least with MemTest) was taking extremely long because of how much RAM I was testing against and I didn't let it run all the way through to find the fault. It may exist in Windows 7, but I couldn't get it to crash or BSOD for me.

Right now, longest I've had it up and running and just got off a facetime call, while multitasking a video and song edit, that was an hour, so I'd say it's definitely a MB issue.

Still need to test the Channel A DIMM 1 slot to see if I can have at least 12GB for the time being. I may have to upgrade to the 2x8GB modules... :(

3 hours now with a VM running concurrently and no random freezes. Using the first 3 DIMM slots ( A0, A1, B0 ) 12GB. I'm going to have to write a "loving" letter/complaint to the folks over at Gigabyte.

Good luck man, hope it fixes the same issue I was having, if anything changes from my current situation, I'll report it back.


Edit: I will note that my timings being recognized in the BIOS are off too. They should be reporting 9-9-9-24, but are coming back with 11-11-11-28 without XMP being enabled. With that enabled it boosts up my i5 to 3.8Ghz instead of the default 3.4GHz. Manually editing before when I was testing the original issue made no difference, still couldn't use 4 Modules.

Edit #2: Had a system freeze with 3 modules. I'm skeptical it was a fluke, but I'm trying to re-create it. If it happens again, I'll go back to 2 and/or make some adjustments in my BIOS regarding the memory timings. At least I can get a considerable amount of work done this time around, just have to be more aware of hitting that "save" button :)
 
Hey Mike,

I have found a lot of GFX issues eliminated when running on my nVidia card with onboard Intel chip DISABLED.
Playing with C-states plays little effect (by disabling C1E, C3, C6/C7 in Bios my board goes to sleep and can wake).
Is there a way you can try external video card?

My memory banks are 8Gbx2

The first build I did with the new hardware was actually using my Radeon HD 6870 (that had been flawless in my old machine), and I had the exact same freezes. That was the first thing I removed though. ;)

So now I'm running on the internal HD 4600. Which is nice and quiet and will most likely meet 99% of my needs.

I'll test the other C-states from BIOS.

Thanks for pitchin' in guys! :thumbup:

No issues when running on just 8GB when using Dimm A0 and B0, which according to my manual is DDR3_4 and DDR3_3.

The quickest way I found to reproduce the error was to re-create a UniBeast Bootable Drive. Other than using just the 8GB configuration, all the others failed and would hang.
