Hi, (warranty) replacing the CPU resolved my issue!

Great support from Intel !

regards Koen

I'm proud to tell you, that I RMA'd my DZ77GA-70k due to heavy BIOS bugs after 2 and a half months. My dealer tested those issues and immediately issued an exchange! I'm gonna receive an ASUS P8C WS - less price and higher quality.

I still bought an DH77DF for my HomeNAS, because its specs fitted so well. But if I could travel back in time, I would give myself a beefy headbutt in the past for doing that.

In that case, it's time to buy an ASUS.

Mr.M, I got news for you - I 've just contacted Intel support, informed about my issue, memory overvoltage as discussed, with DH77KC I've got, referenced other sources related to it, including this particular thread which is, btw, not the only one around here related to this problem, and guess what - some guy Daniel B. from Intel replyed that Intel is not aware of such problem, has no reports about this problem and, here is the icing on the cake - I like this masterpiece in paticular from his reply - " In order to answer your question, disregarding the forum threads you have mentioned or your different researches in Google...."

So, my natural conclusion is that Intel support simply sucks.... These dudes do not even know, or simply ignore what people are talking about on Intel's own support forums. Not sure what Intel is doing, but whatever it is, it's not taking care of this problem. I think it's time to send to Mr. Otellini a real sincere message.

Have any of you been able to fix this? Is Intel working on it?

Hi, i was looking at solutions for my BSOD problem. Currently rerceiving x101 BSODs

One solution i commonly find is "increase vcore voltage"

Just like the memory voltage i see a discrepantion between the voltage specified in the BIOS and the voltage really measured with intel desktop utilities....

In the bios the CPU Core Voltage is specified as 1.04v

In IDU i see 0.96v

What is the truth ?? And what is causing this ??

It seems that 0.96 is pretty low and might be the cause of my x101 BSODs .....

I see no way to change it in the bios ... maybe also a bios multiply factor error here ????

any ideas ??

Sorry to misuse this thread .. but getting pretty frustrated with my system ...BSODs

does someone have an ideea of the difference between the next 2 cases :

1) starting a DVD video file (VIDEO_TS , VIDEO_TS.BUIP etc .. ) works fine !!! Even multiple times ..

2) starting a M4A or DIVX or MKV video file immediately crashed my system with BSOD??

whats the difference between these 2 cases ???

hi, connected a 350w atx power supply and still having the same problem .. so my 90w pico psu with 100w ac-dc adapter is good enough.

Still getting BSODs when doing video related stuff and somewhere in the middle of the "system rating" process

Mostly BSOD x09c and some times Stop 0x00000101 A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor

I have Performed memory testing using windows mem test and memtest86-4 and all is fine withouit errors

Performed intel processor diagnostics and all is fine with out errors.. same for processor identification.. no overclocking etc.

Checked all drivers and all at latest level .. However the Intel Driver test Utility complains about my LAN driver

as being unknown?? but the driver version specified is the same as the one applied .. strange ...

Removed 1 ram module and the other one and switched slots without result

Any ideas ???

Maybe ... increase "vcore" ... but what is that ? And how to do that ?

thanks

Not sure about 101 bsod. In regard to PSU - it is a bit incorrect to calculate it the way you do.

1. 90 W PSU can not typically deliver full 90W, you need to consider how efficient it is - 75%. 80%, etc.
2. You need to account for required power (current) on various rails: +3.3V,+5V, +12V. One or more of these rails may be overloading when video kicks in.

Connect more powerful PSU and run the test, you'll get your answer.

hi,thanks, although the added power comsumption of all componsnts is way below 90w ?

i3-2120t = 35wmax

ssd=3w

ram=8w

fan=1w

motherboard = ??? w i guess 25 w.. ?

Why would one need 180w ?

anyways .. i can hookup an old power supply and see if that matters ...

or remove 1 bank of ram..

i will do some more testing..

Question.. i also receive 101 bsod .. suggested solution ----- add vcore ?? what does that mean ?

increase voltage on core ? can i do that with h77 bios ?

thanks
