replaced all DDR3 memory with 4x4GB DIMMs and this apparently solved my problem. Ran MemTest86+ for about 36 hours or a total of 11 passes with no errors!

Appreciate the suggestions. Will try BIOS reset to default values first followed by trying out HCI memtest software. I have never overclocked in my life as I care about stability.

I am getting about 500 errors on a 5.5 year old ASUS Ramgage III X58 board with 12 GB (6 sticks at 2 GB) of memory running Memtest 64+ for 7 passes. I also ran WIN 10 memory test in both quick and extended mode which did not detect any errors which has me puzzled. I know I am having problems...

I have an ASUS X-58 Rampage III Extreme MOBO with with a Marvel 9128 SATA 3 controller. The 9128 controller generally offers poor performance since is is PICE 1 based and one is generally better off using the Intel chipset SATA 2 capability instead for the SSD boot drive. Are there any...

Somehow the first line of the previouls didn't get copied in the copy & past operation: i have an ASUS Rampage III Extreme MBO that does not have USB 3 capability for (internal connection for) front USB connection for my Silverteck FT02 case. I replaced the FT02 USB 2 front connector with the...

USB 2 front connector with the USB 3 version by replacing the cable assembly to the MOBO and by adding a Silverstone SST-EC01-P PCIE USB 3 card. This all works fine for USB 3 except that I can no longer use a bootable USB stick in the two front ports of the FT02 case. I read that the PCIe...

I appreciate the advice on Hitachi as they do enjoy a greeat reputation, but I feel 512k is dead for the longterm as 3-4 TB are soon becoming standard once we get through the increased competition of the Thai flood of 2011. I can wait another 6 months but want to invest in 6x3TB drives that...

I am looking for 3TB drives with 1TB platters that reports 4k sectors correctly for a Solaris 11 build. I am only aware of the Seagate ST3000DM001 drive having 1TB platters, Also, not sure about the correct 4k reporting which is importante for ZFS. Is anyone using the ST3000DM001 with ZFS...

What I mean by on-board being disabled is the following. When I have the GigaByge PCIe card installed I can only get a video signal out of the monitor connected to the GigaByge graphics card. The second monitor connected to the VGA port (Matrox on-board video) does not deliver a signal...

I have the SuperMicro X9SCM-F mobo and installed a GigaByte GV-R675OC-1GI graphics card. The card seems to work fine in WIN 7-64 but using WHIS-2011 for some reason I can't get the drivers to install and it is only recognized as a generic VGA card. Also, the graphics card disables the on-board...
