Okay, I'll try that.
 
EDIT: I just went in BIOS and didn't see an Option for XMS only XMP which is already set to that. Uploading Pictures now give me a few minutes.

Everything looks fine to me. You need to update your BIOS though as you are currently running a older version which was released on 5/18/2012, the newest BIOS for your board was released 12/4/2012 just a few days ago.

Okay, Truth is I'm afraid of Flashing the BIOS VBIOS. My knowledge level is maybe a 1.5 out of 5 being that I just got involved into Computers just a year ago. I Flashed the BIOS and VBIOS on my Asus G73 a while back ( Sold it to get parts for my current rig) but that was because there was a how to video and a Forum dedicated to doing it. I'm afraid to do it on this computer, I'm scared I might brick it or just really mess it up. Allow me to post some other Screenshots I just took

 
 





Is there good instructional VIDEO on how to flash BIOS for my System? That you could provide a LINK? I'd really appreciate it.

NOTE: Don't forget to restore default settings to current BIOS before flashing by hitting F5 then F10 and re-entering the BIOS.

ASUS probably forgot to change it. Does the BIOS Version within the BIOS read 908 as well?

Yeap, it is. So I'm good then
By the way I just set the RAM to XMP Profile, and I noticed that "Turbo Ratio" Option right in the submenu was set to "Manual" Instead of Automatic. I read the Info tab and it seems like its better for it to be on Automatic not Manual. Should I leave it how it is?

Re:BIOS Flash Successful 2012/12/07 20:10:06 (permalink)
Well, I'm going to test it tomorrow for a bit longer on different games. I'll get back with you on that.
Thanks
 
EDIT: Well this is freaking odd, after Flashing BIOS restarting the Computer no longer brings me to the Main screen where I would press "Del" To access BIOS. Instead it just starts Windows and Brings me to the Log in Screen (User Password Screen). I tried 3 times and every time the same thing. So now to get to the Screen where I would press "Del" to Enter BIOS (Not sure what its called) I have to shut down my system and start up again..... Hmmmmm?

Possible solution to freezing: Drop your GPU Clock Offset -200MHz using EVGA Precision X.
Solution to odd memtest results: The results you got are from a older version of memtest and is a well known bug. Get the newest memtest here... http://www.memtest.org/do...4.20.usb.installer.zip (Install onto USB stick and retest if you like.)

 
Thanks, this time it worked with no problems. The results are good check the video if you like.

Re:Lets try Again. 2012/12/08 08:10:09 (permalink)
Here's an idea, set the Vertical Sync to 30 fps.
 
It's in the nVidia control panel, under 3D Settings-> Manage 3D Settings.
 
Set Vertical Sync to Adaptive (half refresh rate), where the "half refresh rate" means half the monitor's refresh rate.
 
Your stuttering/juttering should go away completely because your video card is generating frames at more than twice the adaptive vsync refresh rate.
 
Let us know how that goes.

Oh boy, I'm in trouble now 2012/12/08 13:20:11 (permalink)
Well, I wanted to update my Ethernet Drivers because I installed the one that came on the Asus Disk. So I figured I would do so by uninstalling what I think was the "Realtek Network Device Manger" or "Driver" and of course I knew I would temporarily lose my internet connection on that computer, so I had the Updated File downloaded already.
 
Thing is that I uninstalled the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Driver as well and now I don't know which one I need to download since there a lot of them on the Realtek website.
 
I ended up getting "Network adapter driver from Intel" but got this message when trying to install it.
This is the Drivers I got from Intel which gave me the error below Intel

 
How can I FIX this, update all that stuff and get my Internet back ON my PC? What do I need? I'd really appreciate if you good fellas can hook me up with the Links for what I need. TY

I did get the latest "LAN" drvier from Asus Support page, but I still had no internet.   http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z77V_LK/#download


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
OH PS I deleted the "System 32" File as well..... Just kidding, really didn't delte System 32 file

You should be able to do a system restore to restore functionality. (Type "system restore" into the start menu search feature and hit enter to bring up the system restore wizard.)

Wow, had completely forgotten about that Windows Future, Thanks. I'm back on my RIG.
 
My mind has being going at 100 Mph for the last 5 days with Finals for this semester on the 11th. Is a good idea that I lay off trying to tweak anymore stuff on my computer until I become stable and get more sleep. Then I'll return to trying to tweak what ever it is that needs tweaking LoL!

Wrong PCI slot? 2012/12/09 11:30:11 (permalink)
In the Picture below, what is the intended PCI slot I'm supposed to use for a Single EVGA GTX 680. #1 or #2. And is there any significant difference from using one or the other on a Single EVGA GTX 680?

Re:Wrong PCI slot? 2012/12/11 20:21:38 (permalink)
It shouldn't make a difference if you are running your single 680 in slot one or two, however I looked over your BIOS pics again and noticed that you have your single 680 plugged into slot 2 and it's currently running at x8 according to the BIOS, which is a little strange as it should be reading x16 not x8. What happens if you put the 680 into slot one and boot into the BIOS, does it say x8 for PCIEX16_1 Link Speed like the below pic or does it say x16?

Good attention to detail. Actually during the weekend  I did a little research about my MoBo when I had time of from studying  and was told that the 2nd slot runs at X8 by default, whether is true for every other MoBo I'm not sure. Anyway, so the guy suggested that I put my GTX 680 on the Top PCI slot rather than the bottom one, and so I did. I just did what you said and checked the BIOS and sure enough my GTX 680 is running at X16 now by default because i didn't even think of changing anything. Here is the screenshot which confirms it.

 
In case you are wondering, this has not fixed my issues lol.....
However I did come across a very simple yet informative page here http://bftips.com/2012/07/120hz-and-60hz-monitors-in-battlefield-3/
Which brings me back to my Initial theory, and actually some what confirms it regarding my current issue and it leads me to ask the same question I asked earlier. Will buying a new monitor with higher refresh rate, say 120Hz, allow me to truly play games with out being forced to use Vsync anymore? I mean will it at least significantly reduce screen tearing and make it happen with less occurrence? Than compared to the way I have to play now? That's why I asked on one of my post if I should buy any random monitor from Local Best Buy with higher refresh rate just to see if there is a difference. I don't know but I'm considering doing it, then if the results come back positive I can look around for a good monitor with same specs which I will actually buy to own.

What happens if you put the 680 into slot one and boot into the BIOS, does it say x8 for PCIEX16_1 Link Speed like the below pic or does it say x16?


Good attention to detail. Actually during the weekend  I did a little research about my MoBo when I had time of from studying  and was told that the 2nd slot runs at X8 by default, whether is true for every other MoBo I'm not sure. Anyway, so the guy suggested that I put my GTX 680 on the Top PCI slot rather than the bottom one, and so I did. I just did what you said and checked the BIOS and sure enough my GTX 680 is running at X16 now by default because i didn't even think of changing anything. Here is the screenshot which confirms it.


In case you are wondering, this has not fixed my issues lol.....
However I did come across a very simple yet informative page here http://bftips.com/2012/07/120hz-and-60hz-monitors-in-battlefield-3/
Which brings me back to my Initial theory, and actually some what confirms it regarding my current issue and it leads me to ask the same question I asked earlier. Will buying a new monitor with higher refresh rate, say 120Hz, allow me to truly play games with out being forced to use Vsync anymore? I mean will it at least significantly reduce screen tearing and make it happen with less occurrence? Than compared to the way I have to play now? That's why I asked on one of my post if I should buy any random monitor from Local Best Buy with higher refresh rate just to see if there is a difference, I don't know but I'm considering doing it, then if the results come back positive I can look around for a good monitor with same specs which I will actually buy to own.

Blah
lol

With a 120Hz Monitor you will be able to force Vsync and lock your frames at 120Hz instead of 60Hz that you are now limited to. Will it help with your issues? Possibly, only one way to find out.

Then it shall be done! haha.
This week I'll go to Best Buy or Walmart and look for a Monitor with 120Hz and buy it for the sake of testing..... Shoot if its a nice monitor and it fixes the screen tearing issue allowing me to lock my frames at 120Hz instead of the curret 60Hz, I might actually keep it.
 
Will keep you posted in the next few days.

Well, today I went to my local Best Buy, Walmart and Office Depot but none of them had any monitors "In stock" that have higher refresh rate than 60Hz. I will be forced to order online from one of these stores and just get them to ship it to the store for pick up. Thing is that neither Best Buy or Walmart Online have an option to select Refresh rate on monitor settings, which is very odd if you ask me, meaning that instead of narrowing down the monitors that do have 120Hz refresh rate I will have to go through and read the specifications one by one, quiet inconvenient but oh well....

Re:Wrong PCI slot? 2012/12/18 21:00:29 (permalink)
Semester is over, made 2 A's and 2 B's. So I'm happy with that lol.
I'm still looking for the replacement monitor.
 
I just had a quick question.
 
Why is my Card getting so hot at stock speeds and default Global Configurations on the Nvidia panel?
 
I know that for me it is normal to Idle at 28C or even 30C But my computer right now is 39-41C on Idle.
 
I haven't played no games or ran any applications in the past 2 hours other than Firefox and watching a few videos on youtube. So it makes no sense that I would idle at 39C and with my fan profile the fan is at 47%.
 
I haven't changed anything, and I have had it on this same Fan profile since I got it, never have I had high Idle temps. 
Like I said, everything is stock from Precision to the Global Settings Panel.
 
This is new, it has never happened to me. My case is well ventilated.
 
I even Manually set the fan to 70 % for just like 2 minutes but it didn't go below 38C 
Any ideas why is it doing this?
 
NOTE: I forgot to mention, i have the latest official NVIDIA driver which came out yesterday I believe. I also have K Boost Disabled.

Aha. I have seen this come up a couple times. A simple solution. If I'm right, no problem, if I'm wrong... Idk. Anyway, Is K-Boost enabled in precision X? (If you even use it). If so, there is your.... Issue? Although it's not really a problem, just makes idle temps a little higher.
