My machine has been running perfectly, for about a year. But ever since I added a 4GB stick, total = 12GB (3 x 4GB).
It just freezes! No beach ball, no kernel panic... all the sudden every things stops. I can't move the mouse, nothing... completely frozen. So I have to force shutoff (holding power button) and power on again.
This crash happens after the machine has ran for a while (say 3-5 hrs). But sometimes freezes sooner than that! It crashed when I had only 1, 2 apps running. I'm not making it work so hard....
I tried to lower speed in ram, that helped a little, but still crashed!
So I reset bios settings to hackintosh compatible.
My setup is in the description.
But here it is anyways:
-GA-P67A-UD3 (F4) bios settings at default hackintosh settings
-i5-2500 (not "k")
-12 GB ddr3 ram (formally running 8GB perfect, no crashes)
-ge 9600GT
-620w PSU
-sata drives: 1x 64GB SSD (boot disk) HDD: 1x160GB (pictures) 1x 250Gb (movies) 1x 1Tb (time machine)
I don't think I'm under power... can anyone recommend bios settings needed to run 12GB fine.
Thanks in advance.
