Change the RAM time?

[KangUsapEmenq]

Welp, the PC specs are on my signature (and yes, I don't use any discrete GPU as it's darn expensive nowadays), and what happen, in a nutshell:

• Dota 2 crashes like, every 5-15 minutes. Can't even get a decent experience. 
• GTA 4 sometimes crashes. Not as frequent as Dota, though.
• Welp, it ever had the BSOD error (forgot the name was) but I read the explanation of the BSOD error means, that there's some problem on the memory. 

Because of that, I tested on MemTest86 (welp, never did it before). It's not even done, yet already those amount of errors... (update, it runs for 21 mins with total of 67 errors now) 

Spoiler

To be fair, I bought those used Team Elite RAM since I thought it'd be safer than 'new' RAM (funny thing it's cheaper than the one I bought used) but I saw lots of them actually don't have those serial numbers or else when tested using CPU-Z or else.

 

I assume those errors kind of problematic for the iGPU, as I only found those crashes (no error code, just straight to the desktop) actually only when gaming. I know if iGPU aren't supposed for gaming, but welp, hobbies, and how GPU prices are ridiculously high now. 

 

Now.. Do I even need to change it? Yet on my regular use-case (not gaming), it just runs fine tbh (aside the BSOD, but tbh it only happens for like once for few weeks), it's just on Dota 2 that it crashes so frequently that it made me lose.

 

So far I'm using it to work on my finals (including Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, normal Office, lots of browser tabs, even Matlab, etc), it works as it should, barely crashes either (mostly the crash because I start to feel to need 16 GB of RAM lol). This is what made me hesitant to change the RAM as gaming simply just not-so urgent. 

 

Thanks in advance.

They're problematic in general. No wonder your system is crashing.

I mean, you can try underclocking your RAM to see if that will fix it, but I doubt it will given the amount of errors you got, and DDR3 is cheap enough that you can get a new kit for that system for not that much money. Besides, you said you wanted 16GB, so might as well upgrade.

Even unfinished it got 250-ish after running for half of hour. Dayum.

Will try later. But yeah I don't think either it'd change lots of things.

Welp, not here, when a 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz is priced nearly as the same as it's new 2666 DDR4 counterpart.

 

What the actual f, marketplace.
