Well Memtest86 errors...

[Laniakea]

Spoiler

Well let me tell you about my system quickly.

Ryzen 7 1700 (No OC)

ASUS B350 PRIME-PLUS MB

G.Skill RipjawsV 8GB 3000MHz DDR4 RAM F4-3000C15S-8GVRB Running at the speeds at first install when I'm using it.

MSI GTX 1050Ti (anyways...)

Corsair 650W PSU

And an SSD and an HDD...

 

Everything in the BIOS is set to deafult hundereds of times, tens of cleanest of Windows installs, all drivers set and BIOS up-to-date, setting memory timings and voltage up, no luck at any of that...

Here you can download the memory qvl list of my MB, HERE. I could not find it in there and I searched it up online and I found some people using it happily with my MB and memory combo and I found some who suffer the same problems as I do. At least 10 BSOD a day, PUBG crashing every hour (), and simply anything will crash time to time even though I make a fresh install of Windows. Now I kind of know if MB and memory aren't compatible I'll get those errors in memtest but I hope they're not caused because of memory right? Because I'm gonna sell it aperrantly... What is wrong here? Help out <3 Thanks already.

I insist you to check QVL yourself if I'm missing something.

I am assuming you have selected memory to the xmp profile in bios?

 

Have you reached out to either Asus or Gskill for help?

With or without XMP, like I said I have everything in deafult, like 2133MHz and you know DEAFULT. Like I said again I even eased the timings a bit. NONE helps...

The QVL is more of a recommendation than a requirement. I use G.Skill memory for most of my projects and most of the motherboards don't list the specific memory I'm using on the QVL just some G.Skill in general. Unless you're using some really sketchy no-name brand back-alley RAM or motherboard then a compatibility is likely not the problem. Did you try reseating the RAM? Sometimes a thin layer of dirt or dust can cause a bad connection on a pin and could cause these errors. However a bad stick of RAM is also possible. Figure out which one is throwing errors and test it alone. If it's still throwing errors by itself in a different DIMM slot then you have a bad stick of RAM.

Test each stick individually in each slot individually as well, until you find the stick(s) or slot(s) that are not working in memtest.

blow on the RAM slots like the NES days 

Not gonna lie, when I said dust or dirt my mind immediately thought of the old cartridge games. For me it was the NES & N64.

While I understand the merit of this, I'm under the impression if you replace the RAM, you may need to replace it by the kit. Especially if you can return it to the store. So if you're going to spend the same amount of time testing each stick as you would the whole thing, I don't see much of a point testing each stick in a kit if you have to return them all.

 

Manufacturer's RMA may be different, but it's been forever since I've had to do one of those. But I'm almost certain the last time I did it, I returned the entire kit.

I have one stick no problem.

Well that takes care of that.

 

Either way, I would RMA the RAM if Memtest comes back with errors even under the default settings. If the RAM can't work with defaults, it's defective.

since its on the same bits and error bits, its possible u have ur ram timings set wrong

 

make sure u are running the xmp profile, auto settings dont always go stable on every motehrboard ( coz auto settings is determined per board )

 

manually use SPD Default settings ( can check in cpu-z ) or use XMP , however not all xmp profiles work ,its possible ur cpu cant run it at 3ghz

 

the second issue can be the version of memtest beeing unstable, ive had errors and freezes on 5.01 aswell on certain pcs  i knew ram were 100% good

In the spoiler, memtest I think "forces" memory to run at 2995MHz which it is not suited for with ryzen and early MBs.

It shouldn't because nobody should have access to that setting except for UEFI.

Well XMP is for intel, everything gets worse when I use it. Can't even pass the cinebench.

Well look picture yourself, I did say nothing.

mem controller instable is also an thing, especialyl if using higher density sticks

Are you sure the UEFI settings were at the default when you took that image? Because the default setting should be DDR4-2166.

yes.

[Laniakea]

Well it should run at 2933 if you look it like that, there's no 2166 or 2966. Weird.

[Laniakea]

I'm gonna buy this CMK8GX4M1A2400C16 (16-16-16-39)

But only this is in my motherboard's QVL CMK8GX4M1A2400C14 (14-16-16-31)

Only CL values seems diffrent, and timings. Is it enough close of a referance to trust? Because boy, I'm not gonna buy something not in the QVL list at this point.

[Laniakea]

Can I use it? Are they similiar enough?
