Is this a RAM problem or something?

Hello!
the specs:
Intel G3258 @4.0GHz 1.3V
HyperX Beast 1866Mhz CL9  8GB (2x4GB KIT!!!!)  (main suspect)
Asus Maximus vi formula (BIOS v1603)
stock cooler
Chieftech A135 series 750w
640GB WD green (looking at you as the maybe suspect)
Gigabyte HD7750
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
 
So... the problem is ... i get BSOD when i have Utorrent downlaoding movies and music and chrome with like 7 tabs opened and trying to start CS:GO
sometimes some of the tabs just crash and sometimes some apps stop working and need a restart or something.
once it was just a BSOD once it said MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

So i want to know all the tests i should do before buying new ram or some other component (if you need more info to help just ask for what you need :) )

You might be overwhelming the system which may lead to a crash. It could be because of various things, like ram being maxed out, cpu being maxed out, etc. Go into the bios and set the ram to 1600mhz and see if its more stable.

the kit has 2 XMP and the 1st one was 1866 (cause its supposed to be a 1866 kit) and the 2nd is a 1600... should i try the 1600 or just run memtest? and tbh ... you might be right about maxing out the cpu... its just a 2core...

It might be your cpu.

 

And why the hell do you have such expensive mobo with a cheap cpu o,0

Normally memory management can be caused by either failing ram, or the processor not being able to keep up with the rest of the system.

 

Seconded with the small processor, whys?

Yeah - try to go with 1600. I had an XMP kit and it was meant to be for 2666 - it wouldnt work stable above 2400 :/

I would pick one stick of ram and run that. running mismatched ram will cause problems.

Mmmmmm not so sure about that, as long as you are running them all at the same frequency and they aren't wildly mismatched like different voltages, I've got some odd sticks of ram which have ran stable.

Needed a pc... this mobo was sitting around for a year cause ran out of moneys when building a pc and i picked this one up (planed a i7 at 1st then and i5 and now ended up with a pentium)

and you think i made the cpu do more then it can?

 

I would pick one stick of ram and run that. running mismatched ram will cause problems.

i tried taking 1 out and it dropped me with a BSOD with machine_check_exception for both stick (tried both in the same mobo slot) and its not a mismatched ram ... its a 2x4GB kit of 1866 CL9 (have plans for another kit like this in the future) and i cant get into windows.... or the startup repair....

both where from 1 kit so speeds and voltage where the same

startup repair when i swapped the ram slots said that i have bad ram installed :(

i hope its not ture....

it won't be the first time a stick out of 2 were bad. doesn't happen a lot but it happens. so run 1stick at a time but also swap that stick into other slots to check slot integrity.

oke.....

oh and also i removed the xmp profile and my oc ....so now the pc runs at 3.2GHz and ram is at 1333

You need to run both sticks at the same rate. Because one of the sticks is 1600, I wouldn't recommend oc'ing it to 1866, I'd say downclock the 1866 to 1600, or both of them to 1333. Gl :)

the sticks are from the same kit but they had 2 xmp profiles and right now im running at 1333MHz (at auto setting)

give it the 3 fingered solute and watch the performance window.

been doing that for around an hour.... ram not used more then 4GB and and cpu not over 60% so seems to be fine

i might try getting the xmp profile back on and oc again and see what happens
