sandy bridge issues

[Crafty_Lee]

Hi all,

I am currently having constant booting problems with my new p8p67 pro mobo and the sandy bridge 2600 (NOT the K version), my pc will either boot up fine, then when i restart it it will load fine but the screen wont turn on (the power on the screen stays on standby), then other times it will restart and say overclock failed press F1 etc...

I have this

scan.co.uk/products/4gb-%282x2gb%29-corsair-xms3-classic-ddr3-pc3-12800-%281600%29-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-8-8-8-24-xmp-165v

i've set my mobo overclock profile to XMP so it loads the correct 8-8-8-24 timings and 1.65v, i set the memory to 1600mhz, yet i still have problems. I have also tried all of the different BIOS versions to no avail...

i've been reading around and have seen that sandy brdige doesnt seem to like RAM higher than 1.5v and im looking at getting new RAM, this RAM:

scan.co.uk/products/4gb-%282x2gb%29-corsair-xms3-classic-ddr3-pc3-12800-%281600%29-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-9-9-24-150v

it says 1.5v but a friend has brought this and a sticker on the RAM itself does say its 1.65v, could anyone clarify which it is as im pretty sure my RAM is causing my booting issues and i need some new 1.5v ram to fix my issue

any help would be great,
Lee

OK first, with the p67 boards they are funny about what RAM they 'Like', i had issues with corsair dommintor. 1.65v

I did a bios update and went though all the settings and it worked in the end. however i swap it out to some corsair vengeance (very recommend, and no noticeable diff in speed)

So i'd start with a bios update, the first versions were buggy as hell, the software that come with the main board made it easy enough to do from windows

the check your base clock is at 100. my default to 102 some thing, but it just upset ram time-ings for me
