Please Help!

Ok, first things first. About 3 months ago my pc was working perfectly fine, I have a i7, 1050Ti and 4gb of RAM. but I get a 8 GB set of ram for my pc and as soon as I put it in there’s problems. In one of my games I’m getting stuttering, I decide to ignore it because whatever, it’s only one game. But over time my computer is getting more and more unstable. To the point where the desktop is shuffling icons every time I boot it up, Spotify can’t stay open for 30 seconds and chrome can’t survive more than one click! But with games and stuff like word it working perfectly fine!

 

WTF is going on!?

 

i would really like an answer as I have put in many, many, MANY hours into this pc and hate to see it in such a way.

 

PLEASE HELP!

Did you get a single 8gb stick? (1x8gb) or did you pair it with your existing 4gb aka 2x4gb?

Roger that. Get into bios and set XMP to enabled. If you are uncertain to how, search for bios in windows start. -> then choose advanced start - > pc will reboot -> choose UEFI.

Ok I’m doing that, can I ask what that is and why I’m doing it?

Yes. That is the timings settings for your memory.Auto timings is not always working on every system.

I’m on the BIOS right now and it doesn’t have a option for it. It’s a motherboard from a DELL. it’s pretty good just doesn’t have all that fancy stuff.

I just found a testing program on my bios, I’ll test the RAM and see what it says

Ok so the bios test I just did said all the timings were correct. So is there anything else I can do?

And if I did something wrong wouldn’t it start to go bad immediately not a gradual curve like it has?

Not really. If its unstable like you say it will be like this. Its the same as running with a bad overclock... Memory writes wrng stuff to OS. OS goes bad, basically. Check placement

You can test memory with memtest86 too- this is a link to a bootable version (for USB). https://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-4.3.7-usb.img.zip

I’ll change them over the weekend as it’s 10 PM now, and if the problem stays I’ll post about it again when the forum is a bit more active.

 

thanks for all your help my dude!

Do the memory has the same frequency? ex 3000mhz... 2400mhz? CL =10 OR x... there are many aspects of a RAM module
