Adding 3200mhz

[Nicholas Rodriguez]

Hey guys, just attempted to add 16gb of ram with the speed 3200mhz to my pc and after installation, my pc began to shut down automatically all of suddenly? And couldn't figure out why? I’ve tried tweaking around in bios, adding the XMP profile, made sure it would giving out enough voltage to the ram and still kept shutting off. Then, when I just inserted one stick of ram, it seems to work just fine but when I add the second one, it runs fine for like 5-10minutes and then it shuts off again. Has anyone else had this issue? Could it be the PSU ?

I saw something like this just the other day with another user.

See if this thread can shed some light on things for you:

Is that just one stick of Ram? it would be better to get dual channel, so 2x8GB

Is that the brand? you should always try to get a good psu instead of cheap / no name brands, a psu is always the most important part of a PC.

 

Look here for example

Yeah, I’m sorry, the two ram sticks are actually a (8x2gb) already ? I just got a new PSU EVGA supernova coming in tomorrow so I’m hoping just adding the two sticks of ram, won’t turn off still while gaming. If it does, then it’s probably the sticks causing the issue
