I was planning to upgrade the memory on my EVGA P55 to run virtual machines.
I was trying to upgrade to 16 GB of memory. However, the system will not POST with the new memory. I receive BIOS error code 3A. I have updated to the latest BIOS for this motherboard. I have loaded and saved optimal defaults afterwards. The only difference I can see between my legacy and current memory is CAS Latency. (I am not mixing matching my legacy memory with newly purchased memory.)
System Specs:
Motherboard: EVGA P55 FTW 132-LF-E657-KR
CPU: Intel Core i3-530 Clarkdale Dual-Core 2.93 GHz LGA 1156 73W BX80616I3530 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics
Legacy Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7D-8GBRH CAS: 7-7-7-21
Newly Purchased Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL CAS: 9-9-9-24-2N
(I have 4 sticks of this for a total of 16GB)
When I install the new memory it won't even allow me to BIOS. It sits unresponsive on EVGA P55 splash screen. I have also tried single memory sticks in alternate slots but the result is always the same.
Assistance or directing me to the correct memory would much appreciated.
