Hi, Just to update this, I returned the bundle to the vendor and they tested it. They found the motherboard and RAM to be fine but the CPU to be faulty. They've replaced it and all is working fine. Thanks again for your help. Martin.

I need the computer for work so have had to put the old kit back in. Doesn't using the reset pins and removing the battery do the same thing though? It reset the settings for me as far as I could tell.

I did it by removing the battery and leaving it a couple of minutes.

Hi all. An update: Corsair have confirmed that my RAM is compatible with my mobo. Gigabyte couldn't help with the integrated graphics issue and suggested returning it for inspection. I updated to the latest BIOS (F7b) just in case. I removed and reseated the CPU. Checked for bent pins and...

I assume you mean with XMP/EXPO1 disabled? I set the ones you mentioned to 1.15v though MemTest still says "Configured voltage: 1100mV" / "Module Voltage: 1.1V" and instantly reported errors. I tried 1.25v too with the same result. F7a, which was the latest up until a few days ago. As an...

Thanks, I'll give it a go. It seemed unlikely to me too, to have two faulty modules. Well I had it with XMP disabled (4800mhz) so assumed 1.1V was right but if enable XMP/EXPO 1, Memtest still says it's 1.1V so perhaps you're on to something. I'm struggling to work out what to change though...

Memtest crashed about about half an hour on the second stick. I ran it again and after two passes there were hundreds of errors so I cancelled it. I note the average temp was around 70 but the max was 96 so I should probably get a better cooler but I don't think that's the issue. The DDR...

OK, so I reset the BIOS but couldn't get it to output using the integrated graphics so had to use a GPU card. I didn't attach any other expansion cards or drives though and ran Memtest86 which failed on the first stick (see below). There were around 300 errors. I'm just testing the second stick...

I'm using the GPU from my current setup (Radeon RX 6700 XT). I did try using the onboard graphics but got no output so I might need to change a BIOS setting. I'm going to try resetting it tomorrow as Mega6 suggests. The PSU's from my current rig too so shouldn't be a problem, but I'll try what...

Yep, I've checked. The slots to use first are printed on the mobo.

Hi, That was my first thought too, though it seems odd that both sticks are doing the same thing (though I guess they'd be manufactured together so maybe not that odd). I ran the Windows memory diagnostic but not MemTest86. I'll try that at the weekend. The BIOS seems to have two profile...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. I recently purchased the following bundle to upgrade the PC in my sig: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX 2 x 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 Having installed everything and booted Windows, after a few minutes it crashed with a BSOD and I've not been...

Update: the system's been stable with all four DIMMs at 2933Mhz (XMP1) and 1.42V but I can't get it stable at 3200Mhz, even at 1.45V. That said, when I set VDIMM to 1.45V the BIOS reports it being slightly lower. As requested I've taken screenshots of all the modules at 3200Mhz and Auto VDIMM...

I was going to start a new thread but have pretty much the same question so thought I'd post here. My mobo has one M.2 slot which is in use. I'm looking at adding a second M.2 drive for storage and was considering the same StarTech adapter as the OP. The PCIe slots I have are, according to the...

Thanks guys. I'll give Kingston SSD Manager a try but yeah, it does sound like it's knackered. Not great considering I barely use this laptop and have only had it 18 months but never mind.

So you reckon this drive's on its way out then?

That was my first thought although I seem to be able to access everything on the drive so I'm not too sure. The only other NVMe drive I have is in my desktop PC and I'm not sure if it's the same form factor. Yeah, I've taken a copy of everything but I thought I'd ask the question in case...

Nope, nothing like that. Here's what I see. If I plug in a USB it'll show under Boot Option Priorities but there's basically nothing to select or configure.

I'm not too sure what you mean but unless I plug in a bootable USB it goes straight to the BIOS so there's no option of doing anything else. If I exit the BIOS it restarts and goes straight back in to the BIOS. Within the BIOS, there's nothing in the list of boot devices. If I plug in a...

There are no options like that unfortunately. As I say, it's a very basic BIOS. I've tried loading "Optimized defaults" but that makes no difference.

Hi, I have an Asus VivoBook X512DA laptop (Ryzen 5 3500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB Kingston NVMe) which is about 18 months old. One day I turned it on, logged in to Windows, opened Firefox and left the room. When I came back it had turned off. I turned it back on and it went straight to the BIOS (a very...

I set the voltage to 1.4V and XMP profile to 2933mhz and put all four sticks in. I ran Memtest86 and there were two errors but it completed (which is more than it did before). The first time I tested the original two DIMMs on their own Memtest86 reported one error but none on subsequent tests so...

Good shout. HWiNFO is reporting 1.344V for "DIMM". As long as I know that's the right value to edit in the BIOS then I'm on the right lines. I've just got the two sticks in ATM and put everything back how it was as I need this PC for work but I'll give it another go later in the week and...

I had a look at the BIOS over the weekend and I'm not sure which values to change. It's in 'Expert' mode and I've attached a screenshot. I tried changing DRAM Voltage to 1.4V, rebooted and ran ZenTimings and it still reported VDIMM as 1.2V. The 'Auto' values for the others, according to the...

Yeah, if I didn't need the PC or had some spare DDR4 I would.

OK, thanks, I'll give that a go over the weekend. When you say "keep fingers crossed", is there a risk of damaging the RAM? BTW I've attached a screenshot from ZenTimings as it stands. Is VSOC the same as SOC? Looks like it's already 1.15V.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I thought that was a nice touch. My problem is I need this PC and don't have any spare DDR4 DIMMs so I wouldn't be able to send them back without having a replacement. I have already updated the BIOS but forgot to mention that. Do you want me to try those voltage increases...

Hi, I have 2x8GB G.Skill TridentZ 3200 (F4-3200C16D-16GTZB) and would like to upgrade to 32GB. I bought another pair of identical DIMMs but am unable to get all four working. Windows either fails to load or crashes within minutes and Memtest86 also crashes, even at lower speeds. I've tried both...
