H61MA-E35 system freezes randomly with 16GB RAM

Hi folks,
I think I'm having a problem with this H61MA-E35 motherboard.
I have the following specs:
- Intel Core i5 3450
- Corsair Vengeance 16GB (PC3-12800, 1600 Mhz) (2x8GB)
- Antec VP Power 450 watt
- ATI Radeon HD 5670
The problem is that the system randomly freezes in Win7 64bits. Sometimes just quickly after boot, otherwise after 1 hour or even longer.
First I thought it was the graphic card, but when I used Intel i5's internal graphic device, the same freezing problem occured.
Second, I thought it was the memory causing the problem. However, I tested the memory in memtest 86+ (6 passes). When I test each memory stick seperate, then no freezes occur. I also tested cheap Transcend 2GB memory, without problems as well.
Is there something known about issues of the H61MA-E35 and the max. amount of allowed RAM (16GB)?

Thanks for the quick respond!
I think 1600 was supported after one of the BIOS updates (http://nl.msi.com/product/mb/H61MA-E35--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS).
- Improved memory compatibility.
The BIOS settings weren't configured by me, but by a friend. Here are the BIOS screens, which values should I edit?
Possible DRAM Frequency includes auto, 800, 1066, 1333, 1400 and 1600.
Should I set them to 1333?
These values were apparently set as well. Should I set them back to auto?
EDIT:
- Unfortunately I have no extra pair of memory to test.
- Is a CMOS clearing method better than just changing these BIOS settings?
EDIT 2:
This is the RAM memory: http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz16gx3m2a1600c10.html

    Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

  • 13'' dual-core with 16gb ram vs 15'' quad-core 8gb ram -- ram vs cores?

    Hello.  I am at a point between choosing a 13'' dual-core i5 with 16gb ram vs the 15'' quad-core with 8gb ram - both retinas.
    I will be using photoshop and illustrator while uploading/downloading large files constantly.  After much headscratching I almost decided on the 13'' i5 because from my experience, RAM limitations is where I usually run into problems, and don't see the extra price of i7 worth it when it is still a dual-core.  For the same price I can get a 15'' quad, but will be stuck with 8gb ram.
    I don't care about the screen size, I have good eyes and the weigth trade-off makes this a non-issue.
    I'm thinking about down the road, as either of these I'm sure will be fine solutions.  I'm just wondering where does the edge really come in this case?  Ram or processor / cores?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply tjk, of course with 16gb on the 15'' for $200 more  I'd have easier time, but in this case I am comparing a refurbished - the lowest 15'' 16gb I could find would cost $500 more, I just can't do it. 
    I should make clear that this particular comparison between 13''w/16 and 15''w/8, they are the same price (the 13 being new) - which is why I'm stuck.
    To rephrase - for the same price - which will I regret less in 4 years?
    As a side note, I can't believe I'm even thinking about paying this much money for something that is not upgradeable, but that's another discussion entirely.

  • Hermes 650 system locks up with 2GB RAM, 1GB OK

    I have a Hermes 650 system that keeps locking up when system is upgraded to 2GB RAM.  System runs fine with 1GB RAM installed.  I tried 2 different brands of 1GB sticks, but same problem.

    This is a very old barebones, unfortunately memory support is described as "up to 2GB" and as 1GB sticks weren't commonplace at the time, its possible it might just not work.
    1GB should be plenty enough for what this system can handle though.
    Have you tried testing the sticks with >>Memtest86<<?

  • Would VMWare ESX(i) run on on a W510 (i7 920 with 16gb ram)?

    Hi all,
    A tough question perhaps though perhaps something useful to know for quite some users:
    Would VMWare ESX(i) run on on a W510 (i7 920 with 16gb ram)?
    All thoughts and comments more than welcome!

    I see no clue why it wouldn't. I used to have ESXi installed on VMware Workstation on my W510 i7-920 with 16GB RAM. I have yet to find a spare hard drive to install ESXi on bare metal.

  • TS3694 Why is my i-tunes freezing up and is accompanied by a message "Saying Itunes can't save anything due to lack of memory and my system is equiped with 16gb?

    I Have always used Itunes for my music and for reasons beyond me Itunes has been freezing up and lately it has bringing a mate that reseambles a normal Windows error message but it's telling me that Itunes has to close and the program can't save anything due to lack of memory ? So I updated the program to Version 10.6 last night and while downloading songs and album artwork Today it froze up an brought his mate the message back. And Yet my Laptop is as tooled up as well as a bovver boy on his way to a riot With 16gb of ddr3 plus 2 x Nvidia Gtx 580m's In Sli. So by rights any type of multimedia should run as smooth as silk and i never thought i would have a program make use of 16gb of ram all by itself. So if anybody has been through it an come out on top instead of passing Itunes over for another program and can give any advice or a hint would be much Appreciated... Thanks to Anybody listening....

    Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.

  • System freezes randomly in Mac OS X Leopard

    I have a problem with my system which freezing randomly. When it freezes, I can still move the mouse pointer around, but I can’t move or open any object on the screen.
    It doesn’t seem to be connected to a particular program since it might occur in various programs. I checked the hardware and also catalogue structures, authentication and so forth with disc warrior. Another odd thing is that I can’t seem to beable to boot from the installation DVD. I’ve looked in the various logs (for example the crash logs), but there doesn’t seem to be any notation of the freezes on any of the logs. Another thing is that I sometime have trouble starting the computer, pushing the on-button doesn’t result in anything. Is there anything else I might try before reinstalling the system?

  • Mac pro with 16GB RAM for CS3? CS3 cant use more than 3 GB? why

    hi
    does it make any sense to buy 16GB RAM for a mac pro
    only for working with CS3?
    i am retouching prof. and in the moment we run CS2 on the mac pro.
    later CS3 is in the pipeline.
    we ordered 16GB RAM in order to work with HDR images and big file sizes coming from hasselblad h2 and h3 (300dpi, 23 x 23inch, round 50 or 100 layers, filesize 1 - 2GB per image.)
    thanks

    found this article @ adobe website
    thanks for your help!
    "When you run Photoshop CS3 on a 64-bit operating system, such as Mac OS X v10.4 and later, Photoshop can access up to 8 GB of RAM. You can see the actual amount of RAM Photoshop can use in the Let Photoshop Use number when you set the Let Photoshop Use slider in the Performance preference to 100%. The RAM above the 100% used by Photoshop, which is from approximately 3 GB to 3.7 GB, can be used directly by Photoshop plug-ins (some plug-ins need large chunks of contiguous RAM), filters, and actions. If you have more than 4 GB (to 8 GB), the RAM above 4 GB is used by the operating system as a cache for the Photoshop scratch disk data. Data that previously was written directly to the hard disk by Photoshop is now cached in this high RAM before being written to the hard disk by the operating system. If you are working with files large enough to take advantage of these extra 2 GB of RAM, the RAM cache can increase performance of Photoshop.
    The default RAM allocation setting in Photoshop CS3 is 70%. These settings should be optimal for most users. To get the ideal RAM allocation setting for your system, change the RAM allocation in 5% increments and watch the performance of Photoshop in the Activity Monitor. You must quit and restart Photoshop after each change to see the change take effect.
    The available RAM shown in the Performance preferences has already deducted an amount that is reserved for the operating system from the total RAM in your computer. You shouldn't set the percentage of RAM to be used by Photoshop to 100% (unless you are using more than 2G of RAM) because other applications which run at the same time as Photoshop (for example, Adobe Bridge CS3) need a share of the available RAM. Some applications use more RAM than you might expect. For example, web browsers can use 20-30 MB of RAM, and music players can use 20-50 MB of RAM. Watch the Activity Monitor to view the RAM allocations on your computer.
    Watch your efficiency indicator while you work in Photoshop to determine the amount of RAM you'll need to keep your images in RAM. The efficiency indicator is available from the pop-up menu on the status bar of your image or from the Palette Options on the Info Palette pop-up menu. When the efficiency indicator goes below 95-100%, you are using the scratch disk. If the efficiency is around 60%, you'll see a large performance increase by changing your RAM allocation or adding RAM."

  • Out of memory with 16gb ram?

    I am running CS4 on an 3.0 8 Core Mac Pro with 16gb of ram and a raid 0 scratch drive made from 6x15k drives. I had my memory usage set to 92% with 10.5.6. I recenetly upgraded to Snow Leoaprd and was working on a 3mb file, with no other applications runining, besides firefox.  I was trying to use the quick selection tool and when I tried taking away from the selection I got the "out of memory (ram)" error. So I dropped the ram usage for ps it down to 85% and that seemed to work. Is this normal for Snow Leoaprd? In the past, people had recommended that if you had over 10gb of ram to set your ram usage to 100%, but I see that must no longer be the case?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Now I just tried opening up one page of a 9pg pdf file in CS4, and I got the "not enough memory" error again? I have 10.5.6 on another drive, so I went back to that operatinig system and tried opeing the same file in CS4 with the memory usage set at 92% and it opened up fine.

    did the update to Maverick from OSX ML and boy has it slowed down my whole computer big time, what a mistake to have done this..... the whole computer has dramattically slowed, I thought Apple advertised be faster and slicker and better use of resources and I got 16gb Ram and 500gb HDD and 3.6 ghz processor, OSX Lion was snappier than this what a big mistake since this was installed.
    Thanks god I did a disk image of the machine before I did it Ill go back and stay with OSX ML until Apple sorts problems I see many issues has risen and also Mail is playing up big time so who screwed that up?
    whitty

    Check your Activity Monitor to identify what might be slowing your system. Mavericks is as fast, if not faster, as Mountain Lion for me and I'm using a 2009 MacMini with 8 Gigs of RAM.
