mStuff Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have 2x8 Gb blocks of memory in my pc, though when the pc gets hot for a longer period of time, the pc eventually BSoDs. I know that there can be a lot of causes for this to happen and it can be hard to make sure what causes it. My pc is newly bought (2 months), asking around on forums make me doubt it can be mobo (ASUS M5A99X EVO) problems. I've run memtest86+ for a couple of hours, and the pc never failed. This makes me think that the system failure and temperature may be connected. Do anyone have tools for testing and monitoring a system using cpu, gpu and ram simultaneously? I have experienced the computer crashing when rendering 3D scenes, though I have not experienced it in gaming.. yet. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nec_V20 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The RAM itself churns out a lot of heat and if they are not getting enough airflow to take away that heat, it could be the cause of your woes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mStuff Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 getting enough airflow to take away that heat I think my noctua cpu-cooler cools the ram-sticks a decent amount, also I have 2133 Mhz ram-sticks underclocked to 1800 Mhz, don't know if this makes them less hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree with that. Those should be warm to the touch, but not hot. And he's underclocking them. My dominators pushed hard don't get that hot to where they would overheat and cause system failures. But if he's running them at or near 1.5v heat is not the issue. Mstuff, if you can put your fingers on them and keep them there, then it's not memory heat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mStuff Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 put your fingers on them and keep them there, then it's not memory heat! I'm not that happy about touching the components while the pc is on, but I tried anyways. The ram blocks are warm but definitely not hot. I'd say 45-50 degrees C max. (with my current setup, the cpu never exceeds 60-65 degrees C) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Then memory heat is not your issue. Are you getting any BSOD error codes in your event viewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mStuff Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Are you getting any BSOD error codes in your event viewer? I will test this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mStuff Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 While testing, I have run into even more odd problems with my new 2560x1440 monitor, I'll get this sorted out on another forum and then return to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcratebuilder Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 D/L NirSoft BlueScreenView so you can read the dumps from the bsod's. D/L HWiNFO64 Program, it well monitor CPU, GPU and memory, also displays all temps available. I have a temp probe attached to the center bank stick, while not a true reading of chip temp it gives me a general idea what is going on with stick temperatures. Generally temps are 2-3C over the case air temp. Right now my case air is 26C top and bottom, the mem shows 28C. Running a memory torture test I can get the temp to read 32-34C. These temps are with a Corsair CMXAF1 mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mStuff Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Nirsoft BlueScreenView says the crashes happens because of the ASUS Ai Charger driver. I will try to provoke another crash to confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mStuff Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 It seems that updating bios and chipset drivers solved the problem - I have been rendering on my pc for about a day now and it haven't crashed at all. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
