Posted March 29, 2018 Parts: Windows 10 64 bit (purchased license) ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING Socket 1151 ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Team T-Force DARK 16g ram 2x8 DDR4 3000MHz Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core Processor Socket LGA 1151, 4.2GHz Corsair H100i v2 Corsair RM750x 750w 80PLUS GOLD Samsung 850 Evo SSD 500g Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD Seagate Barracuda 4TB HDD I have tried basically everything from reinstalling windows to taking the computer into Canada Computers to run a diagnostic and there is still the issue of the reoccurring BSOD. This was my first build and I don't have extra parts to use to test hardware. Canada Computers said there is nothing wrong and that's complete bull. I am not that versed in troubleshooting issues and I really want to get this resolved because there is always a chance of a crash when I'm doing school work or playing games.

If there are any red warnings, you have a problem with your ram. https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will update you after 8 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to keep going with it. If you get even a single error in memtest86, you failed the test and need to work on your overclock. You probably just need to loosen the timings a little bit for the ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by timings? I also uploaded the test after running it for 11 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't get even a single error. Actually, I shouldn't assume you're overclocking. If you're not overclocking the ram at all, then I would RMA that ram and get a replacement kit because it should not be failing to pass memtest86 at XMP profile settings if your ram is rated for that speed. If you just raised the speed of the ram in your bios instead of just enabling the XMP profile, then that's your issue. You need to reset to defaults and just look for the XMP profile setting and enable it. Then test again. On timings.. It wouldn't be enough for me to just give you a quick explanation on it especially since I'm still on DDR3 and DDR4's timings should be dealt with differently, but you have to mess with the first 4 numbers under the timings section for your ram in your motherboard bios. For my DDR3 ram, I start out raising the 1st and 3rd number, if I'm still unstable, I raise the 2nd number, repeat. Each time I have to calculate the 4th number by adding the first 3 up and subtracting by 1. I'm not sure what the rule is for the 4th number with DDR4. Definitely watch some videos on that if you ever want to do a manual ram overclock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mess with the timings but I bumped up the voltage form 1.35 to 1.5 and the next memtest was free from errors. Just overclocked it a bit to see how much I can push it, I got it pretty high but on test 9 there were a couple errors but now I'm down to just over 3000 and running my final test but everything is looking a hell of a lot better after bumping the voltage. Thank you for your help!! I'll post again if its not all clear but it looks like its going to be all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not want to be pushing that much voltage into it. It doesn't seem worth it to me. I'd pull it back a bit myself. At least check your temps with something like Aida64 to make sure your CPU temps are out of whack now as ram voltage effects your CPU temps.

I know that at base voltage it has errors, not sure what the best option is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's unstable at anything lower, then it may be a no go to run it at 3000mhz. You could however learn a little bit about DDR4 timings and loosen those to get stability at a lower voltage of say.. 1.4-1.45v or something. I'm not on DDR4 yet so I can't comment on the exact process, but for DDR3 I loosen the 1st and 2nd digit first, if that doesn't work I loosen (increase) the 2nd digit, each time I add up the first 3 digits and subtract by 1 to get the 4th digit. That's the rule of thumb for DDR3. You'd have to ask around or look up the process for DDR4 timings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
