The fastest DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) modules have minimum SPD timings of 8-8-8-24. The slowest are 11-11-11-28. The information you're providing doesn't match reality. With DDR3-1600 and those timings your mobo would simply not POST, and you'd likely get loud beeps indicating memory failure. If those timings are actually what your mobo is auto detecting, then you have DDR3-800 sticks, or... It's possible that you have mismatched DIMMS, one stick of 1600 and one stick of 800, maybe 1333 ad 800. That would easily explain the memory problems you're having, as most mobo BIOS don't handle DIMM mismatches very well, if at all. Pull your DIMMs, write down the numbers on each, and respond here with those numbers and we'll go from there. If you have matching DDR3-1600 DIMMs then your mobo isn't reading SPD and setting timings correctly, though this is very unlikely as I mentioned. If you have two matched DR3-800 sticks you'll want to try 6-6-6-15 timings. If you have mismatched DIMMs, one 800 and one 1600, etc, then you'll need to have them replaced with a matching set. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
