Switch slots.

If the "bad" stick is acting up in the working slot, then there is an issue with the DRAM stick.

If the "good" stick is not working in the other slot, then problem might be motherboard related.

 

Which ASUS motherboard do you have?

Did you enable SPD Write in the motherboard BIOS?

(Rad the IMPORTANT notes: http://www.gskill.com/en/download/view/trident-z-rgb-control)

 

If you have multiple RGB control software installed at a time, it can cause issues.

sorry I didn't reply, but after I power down the machines turn on and off the PSU and reboot the system it works fine. But sometime the problem will come back, so I have to do that again. What should I do?

If you swap the stick, does the problem follow?

switch slots or take it out and put it back in?

I just got a new set of Trident z RGB, and only one of the sticks are syncing. In Asus Aura their at a static color, so 1 of the sticks are stuck at blue, but the second one still going through all the colors. On stick is in slot A1 and the second stick is in B1 if that helps. Also, this problem continues after a restart. Does anyone have a fix?

Thanks

I just got a new system, and I just encountered this problem. I was watching a video, when all of a sudden both of my monitors went black and displayed the "lost Signal" message, audio went out and it acted as if it was shut down, but the PC still on and was the same. I had to restart the PC, so I held down the power button, nothing happened so I was forced to use the PSU switch to turn on and off the system. Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Thanks

Maybe try cleaning out your pc from dust, because if its dropping a lot it could be because of thermal throttling. 

Both GPU and CPU are at 50 degrees. I'll try cleaning it though. Haven't in a while.

I've always had pretty good frame rate in Games(Overwatch, Fortnite). I don't remember the exact frame rate but it was always smooth, there were no drops, and it was all good. However last week, fortnite was experiencing heavy frame drops, down from 60 to 10. I updated drivers for my 1050, and it was all good again. Constant 60fps at all times. This week when I was playing overwatch, I was having pretty bad frames drops to 20, and I was averaging 40 fps. I checked fortnite in case it was a game issue,  but fortnite was having frame drops too. I can't find a  solution. All temps are fine. haven't changed settings. Haven't installed anything other than drivers since then. Did malware scan. Any ideas?

This guy's running EPIC settings and has constant 60FPS. I'm running high at 40

Fornite has changed the way it rendered its world last week, that may have had some effect.

 

Overwatch is a CPU heavy game. If your CPU usage is spiking to 98%, I would expect there to be some frame drops. I would suggest that you drop your settings significantly and see at what point you can achieve a stable framerate. What's your memory usage when you're running the game?

I lowered all low on Fortnite and I was still experiencing the same problems. Happened less, but still happened. Memory runs around 80%-90%

The FX 6300 has not aged well; it bottlenecks just about any modern card. Your best solution would be to replace the CPU. As a temporary solution, you attempt a modest overclock as long as you have an appropriate cooling solution.

Do you know why it ran fine at the beginning?It was at a consistent 60FPS.

Yeah, I'm planning to get a 1600, but is there a way to fix it now? It was fine last week.

So, I got my 1050 last month and I've been playing a lot of Fortnite and Overwatch. I was getting a constant 60FPS at pretty much the highest settings. However, recently I've been experiencing huge frame drops from 2FPS to 60FPS. It makes the games really unplayable. GPU's at 40% and CPU at 98%. Both around 50 degrees. Ram usage is also really high, even after closing browser which takes up a large majority of it.

b/c you can ditch the aio, put the same 1070ti as it doesnt perform much worse and then it's $200 cheaper

ahh I see. thanks

3 minutes ago, ImNotThere said:

i'd go for the 1600 build, the only reason you should still buy a 1080 is if it is only like 50 dollars more than a 1070ti, otherwise theres no point unfortunately

 

you don't need an aio for the ryzen build :P, that makes the ryzen build $100 cheaper, that should put you in 1080ti realm and that would make it better in gaming

 

tl:dr go with ryzen and remove the aio to get a 1080ti

edit: didnt realise 1080tis were so expensive over there lul

why should I go with ryzen? 

HI guys, my friend is looking to build a new computer. It's going to be used for gaming+chrome. He has a budget of $1750 CAD. I got 2 builds to far. 15-8600k and a ryzen 5 1600.

Nice build, my friends max budget is $800, so $34 over isn't really going to work for him, so could you go cheaper?

does 1050ti not bottleneck the i3-8100?

Oh, I thought it as Computer-Aided Design. Please use $CAD

okay, thanks

Ill make you a better one, just doesd your CAD software supports CUDA?

Sorry, I'm confused, but if I think what you're thinking, I meant CAD as in Currency(Canadian Currency)

Hi guys, I have about $800 CAD to build a PC. It'll be used for mainly gaming and web browsing. The $800 does not include the PSU. Also if you are able to go below/make my build cheaper, that would be appreciated.

This is what I have so far

1x8 or 2xX will perform similarly with a graphics card, dual channel gets a little performance boost but whatever is more affordable should be fine

The board has four RAM slots, so I'd go with a 2x4 setup. The only time it would make sense to go 1x8 is if the board only had two slots.

Yeah. but If I get 2 sticks the MHZ is lower, but if I only get 1 stick I go up quite a bit in mhz. Which to go for?

He wouldn't have to. Just crack a window every so slightly and pull a length of cable out from it, the close it back almost all the way, but put a towel down between the window and the frame to make sure the ethernet cable isn't crushed. Next, you just have to identify strategic tie-off points along the side of the house as you make your way to the window upstairs, where you bring the cord right back in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm kidding. That's way too much work. You're already going cheap on the case, an A320 motherboard would kill your CPU, and there's no power supply at a lower price than that one that I'd go for. If we're working in Canadian dollars, I think 2400MHz might be your number unless a 2666 kit comes up on sale. That is entirely possible, btw. 

Should I go for 1x8GB 2400 or the current one?

not sure if you missed my link or are just ignoring it... 3000mhz ram, ssd, 2tb hdd, great psu, same 1050ti and cpu, falls in the same price range

Sorry man, completely missed your link. Nice build, but that's in USD. I'm in Canada. So $650 Cad

Just now, aisle9 said:

How far away is he? Are we talking 6 feet of CAT5 along the baseboard, or a room on the other end of the house?

the router is downstairs, the pc will be upstairs, and he won't be drilling any holes

Just now, aisle9 said:

How far from your router are you going to be? You could swing a 2666MHz kit with that $35 back in play.

yeah but he has no ethernet cord, and the motherboard doesn't have wifi
