PC Crashes playing Games

CesarV01 · December 29, 2020

Hi All,

So recently I built my gaming PC and unfortunately it doesn't seem to be stable. It all started when Windows randomly gave me the Blue Screen of Death saying it was an issue with the memory (RAM). I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and it found issues with 1 of the 2 sticks installed. I tried swapping them out and using different Ram slots to be sure.

I tried rebooting my PC with only the good Ram Stick installed but when I launch Call of Duty Warzone, the game freezes as soon as the match loads. I can play for about 5 mins before the issue repeats. I ran stress tests on the CPU/GPU and it was able to push through them with no issues. Any idea if this may be a software issue or if I should replace anything else besides my RAM? I have absolutely no overclocking on this PC, all stock. The game also crashed with Battlefield as well. Running regular windows and surfing the web gives no issue at all. All Nvidia Drivers are installed, latest windows update installed as well.

My Specs:

AsRock Steel Legend B450m

32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro (Running with 1 Stick @ 16GB at the moment) XMP loaded to 3200mhz, sticks are originally rated at 3200mhz.

1 TB NVME WD Black

1 TB Samsung SSD EVO (Windows Boot Drive)

RTX 3060ti 8GB

Ryzen 3700x with Stock Prism Cooler (AMD software reports the CPU around 50C with no major tasks open/idle).

NZXT C750 - 750W Power Supply

Hey, I've looked through the internet and I found that this is not a rare problem with Corsair Vengeance RAM and most likely its caused by it (at least according to the NVIDIA Forums).

Could you try lowering your RAM Speed? I found on the NVIDIA Forums that doing that eliminated the crashes.

(On the forum they said that they had fixed it lowering the RAM Speed to 2666MHz) I know its a very slow speed. But it seems that is a problem with those RAM Sticks in particular.
