BSOD When Opening Heaven or Valley

did you use same HDD with OS ? for can't just use same drivers for new hardware

so what MB is having issue the X99-SLI or X99-UD4

I tried the same HDD then tried another SSD from another build. Do I have to boot from a fresh HDD every time I build something new?

It's the X99-SLI that is giving me issues.

Alright. So I'm officially retarded. Formatted my m.2 and now I'm in BIOS. Installing windows as we speak.

I'm sorry to waste your guys time. It's amateur hour over here..

It seems I have one more issue.

I can only get the computer to boot into Windows with either 1 or two sticks of ram. If one stick it has to be in dimm 3. If two sticks only dimm 3 and 5. If anything is different it boot loops for 20 seconds like last time.

If it doesn't matter which stick of ram you use, but does matter which slot it is in...then it sound like a motherboard issue. If the stick of ram matters, then it could be a bad stick, or one that just needs a bit more voltage/looser timings.

As per Gigabyte recommendation, single channel setups should populate dimm 3. All four sticks work in dimm 3. All dual channel setups should populate dimm 3 & 7. All variations work in dimm 3 & 7. Any variation of quad channel does not post and boot loops in 20 second intervals.

How do I change voltage and timing on all four sticks if I can't boot to BIOS with them all?
 
This is why I keep a cheap ass kit of RAM kicking around... and never sell it. Ive had to nurse along countless high voltage kits with this trick. Stick the cheap kit in. Boot. Manually adjust the timings and voltage to match the high perf kit. Power down the rig. Install the new kit.... and enjoy as the new kit will now 'work'. ;)

This also TS and tells me if its a bad DIMM or the RAM as the problem. If the cheap stock RAM doesnt boot... its not the RAM. Then I start sticking them in dif DIMMS to see if its the board. If it wont boot with 4 sticks (or 2 in 115x systems) I then swap out the CPU to see if its the CPU's mem controller or the board that is the problem. 9 times out of 10 though its lack of voltage to the RAM that is the problem. :thumb:

Oh that is right, now I remember a while back had a very similar issue, I even took my ram back and tried new ram same issue it ended up being I had to manual set the ram timings and voltage to the same as what was on the sticker.
