Hello, 

I have a ASUS Maximus VIII motherboard, as well as 2 sticks of 8GB DDR4 GSkill Trident Z RGB Ram. Recently, I have been encountering issues where my PC would freeze and crash, or won't boot up (few times a month), how I solve this is by opening my PC, then swapping my RAM to the other 2 slots, and back and forth continuously... Send help

Boot into it on a usb drive, and run it for 3 hours, if you get any errors its your ram.
