Memory related crash

Go to solution Solved by Bombastinator,

“Memory related crash”. I’ve had those.  They get more frequent as you get older.  They call it “aphasia”

 

seriously though. Sometimes memory goes bad because there’s a hair in the slot or something. Might have ruined your first stick.  Take the memory out and see if the pins are anything other than perfectly and pristinely golden.  If they’re not take a pink pencil eraser and give it a gentle erasing.  Just enough to clean it you don’t want to take any gold off.  Then give the slot a good blast of air.  Might help.  Might just be superstition.

I recently bought ram for my system I used to have

Gpu: Vega 64

cpu: 2600x

Ram ddr4 8gb(2x4) hyperx 3000

Motherboard: b450 aorus pro

I bought Corsair Vengeance 16gb(2x8) ddr4 3200 memory and when I put it in my pc started up fine but after a few minutes or after anything memory intensive my pc wil crash and it wil give me different fault codes. so I used windows to test my memory it gave a hardware fault. So I decided to buy new ram from corsair this time ddr4 16gb(2x8) 3000 and the same things happens but less often and and when I ran windows memory diagnostic it did not give a fault error. I have updated windows and updated my drivers. I have run sfx but it did not work. I have now turned off xmp and my system seems to be stable but memory is at 2133mhz. I am not sure how to increase memory voltage on ram so therefore i have not tried that yet. I also added a hdd when I added the new ram but when I put in my old memory my system was stable so that is not the issue. I have not yet sent back my Corsair Vengeance ddr4 3200.So I now have 3 sets of ram to test from. I have yet to update my bios but i am hesitant of doing so because my system is so unstable but there havent been any new bios updates that improve anything to do with memory so I dont think that wil help.

 

Thanks alot in advance!!

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

*sigh* if only it were that easy..
