For context, my old rig used to be a Ryzen 3 2200g, Asrock b450m-hdv, and 16gb of G.Skill Ripjaws V 2666 Memory. I always used to get random memory related BSODs and screen freezes, so I changed my ram to 16gb of Ballistix Sport 3200. Ever since, I've had none of my previous problems. I still have those old dimms and I kind of want to sell them, but I fear they may be faulty and I have no way to test them. Is there some easy way to test faulty memory?

 

EDIT: Don't worry about me, I'm just MEGA stupid. It says on the official AMD website that the 2200g is rated for minimum 2993mhz memory. My old memory was just straight up too slow. Problem solved. sorry.

This is wrong the 2200g should work with all DDR4 down to 2133Mhz

Huh. So you think something is still wrong with that old ram? or there was some other issue? I'll have to look into it more.

Can you create a bootable memtest86 usb stick, put the old RAM in, and then run memtest86 overnight to check if any errors appear? That's the surefire way to know if it's a RAM issue.
