@cneeper: I can confirm you that the ASUS board is working perfectly with the same components that the Intel board fails. It uses same chipset and have more features.

I've been using the ASUS board instead of Intel board (was returned) and no problem so far.

@Alias84:

Yes. You can read my first post:

Unique way to get this working, is returning the board and buy an ASUS P8H61-I. Works perfectly with same DIMMS, so the problem is Intel design, not memory.

Good luck!

My DIMMs was 2x4G Kingston and have the problem. So, the problem, is not the DIMMs.

Same DIMMs works perfect on an ASUS board.

Wow! Finally found a solution to have a working board with TWO dimms and 8GB.

Just return the crappy Intel board to the distributor and buy an ASUS P8H61-I board. Same price, same chipset and more more more features, like HDMI, graphical BIOS, overclock, SATA hotplug and more rear USB ports.

This board works like a charm with the same two dimms, so the problem is with Intel motherboard's design or BIOS, nor the chipset or dimms.

Intel have disappointed me, so this was my first and the last Intel motherboard.

Good luck!

No new news about this ? It's really Intel ignoring problems with their products ?

This is the last Intel board I use to build computers for my customers.

Already tried to disabling intel C and Speedstep in BIOS. Still don't work.

I've tried a lot of things and nothing. Only way is use just one DIMM.

Is Intel looking at this ? Any news ? Or just silence ?

Don't work. Still freezing

But, I think that the new voltage is not really applied. I've changed it on BIOS but AIDA64 still show 1.5v on the report.

Freeze with DH61DL

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 20:04:12 GMT

HI!

(sorry for my bad english)

I recently purchased a DH61DL desktop board + Core i5 2300 + 8GB DDR1333 (2x4GB). Using Windows 7 Pro x64.

All is working ok, except that when playing HD videos on youtube or other player, after one minute or more, got the image corrupted and blinking, sound looping and Windows freeze. Must disconect from power to reboot.

Other freezes happens when doing the Windows Experience test at the Windows Media Codecs part, doing simple tasks like using Eclipse IDE and saving text files or sometimes when rebooting from a freeze, got another freeze on the Windows welcome screen. Always with corrupted image and looping sound.

I've tested all. Drivers are all up to date. BIOS is up to date. Temp is correct, 34ºC normally and 38ºC when playing HD videos. Memory was tested with the built in Windows memory test and with Memtest86+ and found no problem!

The unique way to not get freeze is removing one DIMM and leave only 4GB. DIMMs are equals. One pair of Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G. Those DIMM seems to be compatible with this board as stated on Kingston website. Already tried to swap dimms, and always got freeze when both are working on board. If only one DIMM, no freezes.

I'm really desperated! Theres no way to work with 8GB ?

What I'm missing ???

Any help will be apreciated.

Thanks!
