Evening all, formerly TheTolsonator on the forums, but haven't been able to access that account (despite numerous attempts to contact mods and get it settled, but I digress)
Recently sold my 4690k, ASUS Z97-A and 16GB of DDR3-1600 for a Ryzen 5 1600X, ASUS X-370-F Gaming and 16GB of memory. The story with the memory is complicated, but long story short, bought two 2x4GB kits from the QVL list and couldn't get them to run at the rated DDR4-3000 speed at all....endless boot loops and safe mode BIOS dumps. Anyway, returned those and bought a 2x8GB kit from Corsair (again from the QVL) with the part number (CMU16GX4M2C3000C15). Ran fine the first day and the following day I hit "GO LIVE" on a stream and blammo, black screen with the fans and lights still on. Figured the video driver crashed, but system was fully unresponsive (even to pings from my other computer). Nothing came of the power button or reset switch so I had to resort to flipping the power supply switch. Fast forward a few more days and things were okay, but twice today I've had the same thing happen, once while playing a game (Enter The Gungeon, no big draw there) and the other time was while unzipping the latest DDU and downloading the latest Nvidia driver for my GTX 1060.
At the moment I've got a single 8GB DIMM from my fiance's computer in my system while she's using the 2x8GB kit to see if it happens in her syste--
Thank goodness for auto-saving web pages. The system crashed again. I'm guessing mainboard.
Thoughts?
