Blue Screen - Memory issue

[Looper17]

Hi,

 

Setup:

Asus prime b250m-k

Pentium G4560

Patriot Viper 4 DDR4 16GB 3200MHZ (CL16 (16-18-18-36))

 

I've recently bought some new ram but when using this new ram my computer BSOD's around 5 minutes of logging into Windows with a 'Memory management' error. I've ran Windows memory diagnostic tool and that reports there is a hardware error with the RAM. I've tried the default bios settings, XMP profile and I've manually set the voltage / timings but still it blue screens.

 

PCPartPicker and Corsair both say this ram / Corsair's same spec RAM is compatible with this setup so I don't think it's a compatibility issue (I know my setup only supports max speed of 2400MHZ but the RAM scales down to this speed).

 

Does anybody have any further ideas before I return the ram, or does it seem likely that one/both of the sticks is faulty?

 

Thanks!

Clear the cmos .

Disable xmp 

And then try memtest86 and OCCT

Just done that, Memtest stopped due to too many errors

Try with 1 stick.

@TofuHaroto Done that with both memory sticks, the first one had masses of errors, the second one had less errors but was still in the hundreds.

what was the original kit ? 

( with cas latency )

@TofuHaroto 2 x 4GB modules of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400MHZ 14-16-16-31 1.2v

Well it is different timings 

So for all we know it could be just incompatible ( as mix and matching can cause problems ) 

Use the  new kit alone and check if it boots.

@TofuHaroto If you mean without the original ram being connected - that's already the way I've been testing it, the motherboard only has 2 slots so I can't have the old ram connected. If you mean without anything but the ram (No CPU or GPU etc?) I haven't done that.

 

PCPartPicker didn't flag any compatibility issues between the setup and neither did Corsair's website (Albeit it was Corsair ram but of the same spec)

Try the old kit ( again ) and check if that works

@TofuHaroto Yep the old kit works without a problem, It's what I'm using now

I don't want to say that the new kit is faulty but in all honesty I ran out of ideas 

Since the board doesn't allow any sort of voltage control it really limits the options to diagnose 

[Looper17]

@TofuHaroto Yep it's a tricky one, I can control the ram voltage in the BIOS and one of the things I did was manually set the RAM to the lowest configuration it can work with.. that also resulted in a BSOD so I upped the voltage to 1.35v and still BSOD.
