auzzyboy Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Hey, I have had my Ram installed since building my pc and have always had a problem with blue screens/games crashing etc. One particular blue screen error led me to believe that my Ram may be the culprit.. Anyways since altering my Ram setting from default (auto - 2133mhz) in the bios to an overclocked 2400mhz I no longer have any crashes/bsod but games become unplayable by which I mean being shot in fps games I go down instantly and shooting I can physically see my bullets go straight through people?? (feels like the computer isn't syncing up with what is on the display). Their is a distinctive difference when altering the ram settings. When on the stock setting games feel so much more responsive however as mentioned I get the frustrating crashing that comes with it? Also I noticed it crashes much more often when having multiple applications open at one given time - say a game running and icue or Microsoft edge running in the background? By any chance would this a faulty ram stick or could be something other than that?

Talon1 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 You could run Memtest and see if the ram is faulty. https://www.memtest86.com/ There is a free version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auzzyboy Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Thanks for the reply I will try the memtest later tonight to see if it throws up any errors.. I checked to make sure the ram was compatible before purchasing via the msi website and I have ran the sfc scan command with no issues? I did notice the bsod gave the error Wdf01000.sys? Seems to indicate a windows driver error which I assume is related to my ram since I don't get the error once overclocked but it does create other issues which seem to be latency related? I have also tried a full clean install of Windows and the problem still persists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auzzyboy Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Ok after running the Memtest I have received these results - not sure whether this is an issue with the ram sticks themselves or an incompatibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
