PC Crashes on Wake

So I built a pc last December. Using an Asus Z170-A with a 6700k and a gtx 980. I noticed that it crashes when it wakes from sleep. I suspect bad Ram. I did a clean install of windows 10 pro. I have everything running at stock except the Ram.

I did 10 passes of memtest86 with xmp enabled and no errors were found. I get a BAD_POOL_HEADER error on the bluescreen when it wakes. Is the RAM bad? btw my RAM is 2x8Gb of Corsair DDR4 LPX.

Is it every time? if so, try one stick at a time.

Woo!

If it has been asleep for a while it will most likely crash. I have all the latest drivers installed as well as the latest bios as of this moment. The Xmp profile overclocks the ram to 2666mhz.  I have the dark rock pro 3. so removing the ram sticks is a b*tch! I think I'll have to test one stick at a time :'(

Try it without XMP. See if it helps.

 

(Or you could just avoid sleep entirely, that's an option as well).

You know what. Linus always recommends populating the dual channel slots furthest from the CPU to allow more breathing room to the CPU. So basically my sticks sit on slots 2 and 4. It probably doesn't make a difference in temperature. But the motherboard does say to populate 1 and 3 first. Could that be the cause of the 'crash on wake'?

I want my pc to be perfectly functional. I dont want to disable sleep because it means the underlying problem is still there.

I'm not saying to disable sleep. I'm just saying that people shouldn't put their PCs to sleep (well, not with desktops anyway).
