Haven't been active much today due to awful RSI in my wrist.

 

Built my friends new PC and it got tons of BSODs relating to memory. Doing dozens of memtests currently, seems highly likely one of the two sticks was faulty. :(

 

Hey, the R5 1600 is nice though!

    It's Team Dark 2*8 3000 MHz on a Asrock B350M Pro4.

     

    one stick utterly failed Memtest so RIP the dream boys

    Nice ,is this your project or the joint build with @philosophy ?

    @CUDA_CoresRMAing thru newegg requires all the packaging and stuff so I dunno if we can send back just one stick 

     

    @Tech_Dreamerfriend of mine does video production for a living and needed something better than the laptop and iMac he had as choices before so we built this. Sadly it seems as though my first incident with broken brand-new hardware for a build had to happen right now.

    Wonder if the Ram issue stems from CPU issue? have you tried updating the bios to the latest ? there was an issue with 3k Mhz ram having compatibility issue that had to be fixed from the manufacturer side . Try underclocking to 2400 Mhz or less & each see if it fixes up things.

    What's RSI?    I hope your wrist feels better soon.

    believe its carpal tunnel related pain , the way you handle mice especially playing games where dpi is set low & you have to do elaborate repetitive movement from a static forearm position it sometimes cause inflammation right bebneath the wrist enough to put painful pressure on a median nerve running through it. He's posted a ccouple of updates relating to Overwatch , I'm assuming it's from overdoing that .

    You make it sound as if posting status updates on LTT is dangerous.

     

     

     

     

    That sounds about right.

    @Tech_Dreamer Nah the BIOS is up to date. If a DIMM fails memtest on its own, is replaced in the same slot which then passes, we have a dysfunctional DIMM. Also the RSI is likely from work-related injury sadly.

     

    @BleedingyamatoDude, you do have Google btw

     

    @YedZedtis dangerous to go alone, bring this!

    Sorry.  RSI could mean more than one thing.

    I mean I see Robert's Space Industries if I just Google RSI b ut "RSI" in wrist makes all the sense when I Google that

    Again sorry.  I'm going through some super stressful and upsetting stuff with a friend so I'm not exactly put together atm.

    Had the same memory issue with my Ryzen 7 1700x PC back when I built it

    Though that was back when very little RAM worked and even the usually pretty compatible with a ton of things Crucial RAM sticks didn't work at their rated clock speed until they pushed some bios updates

  15. STRMfrmXMN

    STRMfrmXMN

    @BleedingyamatoYeah no worries, best of luck with you and friend!

  16. STRMfrmXMN

    STRMfrmXMN

    @SuperShermanTanker Yeah this RAM worked fine as a single stick but put them together they failed, individually tested them in Memtest86 until 2AM and one turned up a couple errors under the Hammer Test (AKA what we essentially were doing when using After Effects and Premiere at the same time that caused BSODs) and we found one DIMM to be RIP. The RAM worked at its rated speed under a single DIMM at 2933, normal timings with the 3.7 GHz OC I gave the chip.

    why didn't you go for the mainstream brand? budget choice?

  18. Bleedingyamato

    Bleedingyamato

    @STRMfrmXMN Thank you.  I haven't heard from her since Tuesday so I'm getting worried.  It's probably worrying about nothing and she's just busy but until I hear from her idk for sure if everything is ok.  

  19. STRMfrmXMN

    STRMfrmXMN

    @Tech_DreamerTeam is a mainstream brand. It was the cheapest 3000 MHz 2*8 DIMMs I could find. It's made of Crucial memory, I do believe.

     

    @BleedingyamatoCrossing my fingers!

    Ahh, Haven't noticed .
