Just finished a new build with the Asus X79-Deluxe and an i7-4930K CPU. I have 16GB (4 x 4) of G'skill 1866mhx memory (F3-1866C9Q-16GAB) When I set the motherboard to XMP profile everything seem to be running OK until I went to shut down the system. All it would do is restart and I'd have to hold the power button down to shut it down. Even if I set the speed and timing manually, I get the same results. If I set the motherboard back to "auto" it will shut down just fine. I tested all four sticks of memory with memory test 86 and got several errors with the memory set at 1866mhz, but none at 1600mhz. I then tried to increase the DRAM voltage to 1.55v for the DRAM and it still restarted when I tried to shut it down. With it at 1866mhz, I've also gotten a few BSOD, not many, but enough to be a concern. The memory is not listed on Asus QVL, but G.Skill list the X79-Deluxe as compatible.
Do you think I have some bad memory or maybe even the CPU? Should I just RMA the memory and try another set? Not sure what to do next.
