X58 ECC Ram?

The ECC ram ended up not working, so I got 24GB of normal Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz. However when I went to install them, only 16GB showed up ('missing ram' is common enough issue with X58 it seems). I got all 24GB to be recognized by installing a dimm at a time and booting the computer, so if...

Yeah it's a pretty old mobo, bought the computer in supermarket about 8 years ago. No PCI-e Gen 3 or DDR3 nonsense :cool:

Thank you :) I tired a fresh install, but the same errors came, entered the powershell command and it did come up red. No big loss, building a new (well second ebay parts) computer next week. Just wanted to see the increase in CPU/Ram performance. Only way to update my BIOS is through a floppy...

I'm going to revert to Version 1511, see if that solves it. A lot of people are saying that AU has caused problems with steam too.

You should be fine, I think my problems are due to the hardware not being detected, and is rare. My windows version is 1607, so if you have the same version its Win 10 AU.

Windows never auto detected it, comes up as Basic display driver with 4Gb ram. I installed MSI Liveupdate 6, from CD, and MSI website. And I get this: I downloaded the Win 10 AU driver installer, this comes up: (At least there is only one error now) I used DDU to remove the old AMD drivers...

Problem solved, Nvidia have a driver for Win 10x64, and Win10x64 Anniversary. You have to scroll all the way down the list to find it.

Installed a MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X today, booted fine and all that. Went to download drivers, and this: I also tried the version before that one. Would the Win 10 anniversary update be causing this?

Media Keyboard

Anybody got any recommendations on a good keyboard with media buttons (mute,volume,play,forward,etc) ? I have a Microsoft Media 3000 atm, but its a bit long in the tooth :D.One feature that would be nice is a calculator button on the numpad, its the reason I still use the 3000.

X58 ECC Ram?

Thanks for the reply :) There was a BIOS update that added support for Gulftown (aka 56xx Westmere-EP). I just ordered some cheap cheap Registered ECC, unregistered ECC, and consumer DDR3 sticks. My thinking is that the unregistered should work, but the registered might be a no go. If the...

X58 ECC Ram?

I am building a budget CAD/FEA/Gaming machine. I have a Xeon E5649 (six core 2.5Ghz Base), and a MSI X58 PRO-E (MS-7522 V3.1) motherboard. The Xeon supports ECC DDR3 1333Mhz , but there is no info about ECC in the manual. Would ECC ram (PC3-10600R) work,or is the mobo lacking the extra...
