Memory Trouble

[Sc_Tarsus]

Hello Everyone

 

Recently I started getting random (BSODs), crashes and FPS drops wich I think is related to my ram. When I restart my pc the DRAM ez debug LED light turns on, on the motherboard self. I removed ram stick #1 and put it into dimm slot one and tested it with Prime95 for 3 hours, Memtest86, Aida64 for 1 hour and windows memory diagnostic and on all the tests the ram stick passed. I swapped ram stick #2 with #1 in dimm slot one and ran the exact same tests for the same amount of time and stick #2 also passed. I proceeded to put stick #1 in dimm slot two and ran the tests again and it passed all the tests. Now where my mind is being broken is when I put ram stick #2 in dimm slot 2 my pc doesn't post. At first I thought the second dimm slot is faulty so I put ram stick #1 back into slot two and the computer booted. What could the problem be?

Strange indeed.

 

What about ram stick 2 in slot 1 and stick 1 in slot 2?

Thank you for answering. I now have stick #1 in slot two and stick #2 in slot one so that I can have 8Gb of memory but I still get crashes and the ez debug light coming on when restarting the computer.

Something like this is a pain to diagnose. I'm thinking either your board went bad or the PSU went bad (and damaged the board and/or CPU). Unfortunately without parts to swap in for testing, there's no real easy way to tell.

 

You could try resetting the BIOS but that's a bit of a hail mary, H110 boards can't overclock anyways.

 

Hopefully someone else has an idea of something to check.

I never tried overclocking. I am scared of doing it wrong. I have reset the bios just in case something went haywire.

Thank you for trying to help. I really appreciate it. Hopefully someone has a fix for this problem.
