I could buy a couple of sticks of "approved" RAM to see if that helps with this, but only as a last resort. This is why I was hoping MemTest86 turned up some errors, but it didn't.
I'm wide open to suggestions here. |

I see other mems at 3000 for this board. The only difference I see is the G.SKILL chips are a little faster with lower latency. The PC worked fine for a while then started acting up. I can even go a month or more with no issues then it won't boot. I'm also certain the memory is slotted correctly. An IT friend of mine double-checked the build before I plugged anything in to be sure. I understand that's an important step, but also recognized it would very difficult to change with the CPU cooler installed. I'd need to remove the heat sink and fans to get to the RAM. Oh, and yes, I can get into BIOS. Edited by sadkkf - 06 Nov 2016 at 9:47pm |

X99 boards a very finicky concerning memory. Did they boot the first time you cleared the BIOS and tried booting at their JEDEC default? G.Skill doesn't list any mems above 2666 for this board. http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator?manu=52&chip=2276&model=2297 That's not to say they won't work, just that G.Skill themselves hasn't tested/qualified those sticks on it. Hitting 3000 on a stock X99 non-OC'd board is a steep steep hill to be asking of it and your processor and that's why I asked if they will initially boot from a cleared BIOS at JEDEC. Heck, hitting 3000 on an OC'd one would prove hard to do. Have the mem in the correct slots? Can you even get into the BIOS?
No problem that I know of. That's how I set all mine up when they leave here. |

Thanks for the replies!
Yes, I did a clean install of Windows with the new drive. Also swapped out the SATA cable on the boot drive. No change. Does it matter where it's connected? Right now it's plugged into SATA3_0. I also double-checked the BIOS and AHCI is enabled; the boot drive is set to SSD. Can anyone confirm the RAM I have actually is compatible with the board? Also, HDD S.M.A.R.T. is active. Is this okay? Edited by sadkkf - 06 Nov 2016 at 9:34pm |

I should also mention I had this problem *before* replacing the drives. At that time, I was booting to a traditional HDD. I'm pretty sure the drives are fine.
My complete specs: X99 Extreme4 BIOS v3.40 Samsung 850 EVO SSD (boot drive) Windows 7 Pro G.SKILL TridentZ 288-pin SDRAM DDR4 3000 Model F4-3000C14Q-32GTZ (4x8GB) MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming 8GB PCI Express 3 Intel i7-5820K NOTHING is OC'd. I appreciate any suggestions and advice. Edited by sadkkf - 06 Nov 2016 at 3:18am |

Hi--
Just installed a new X99 Extreme4 board with Windows 7 Pro and I'm getting some unusual crashes. I boot and may not touch the PC for a few minutes, then it blue screens and reboots. On reboot, it give me a Disk Read Error. I've changed *all* the drives in the PC with new ones. Right now, I'm booting to a Samsung 850 EVO SSD and have a couple of traditional WD HDD's, but those aren't bootable. The BIOS says I'm using the SSD as the bootable device and I'm using the newest BIOS. I ran MemTest86 and found no errors. Really not sure what else to look for. Any ideas? Please help! Thank you! |
