Well then... I just had a BSOD with the stop code MEMORY_MANAGEMENT with the old ram... this is getting weird now. The PC wouldn't boot up until I re-seated one of the ram sticks, before then it was turning off and on repeatedly very quickly.

After 2 days without issue, I had another crash, so now I'm pretty well convinced that the RAM is the problem. I RMA'd the kit. I could have tinkered with the timings and frequency and waited for days to see if it was still unstable but as it is my 16gb kit will have to do. Thanks everybody for your help, cheers!

Hello c-attack, thank you for your response. To answer your questions one by one: although I used to have the CPU OC'd to 5ghz on all cores, I'm currently running it at stock speeds. -I did run Prime95 extensively prior to getting the RAM without any issue -I can't definitely say that the ram is the issue, however, running Prime95 with the new ram, Blended tests (which test a lot of memory) would instantly return errors. Meanwhile, doing Small FFTs which mostly stressed the CPU wouldn't cause any problem. As I've said, I was also able to reboot the PC 1-3 times and then Blended tests would run without issue. -Correct, the issues started after I got the new ram. What confuses me is the fact that it's so intermittent. In my experience if ram is unstable it'll be unstable every time you run the same synthetic test until you lower the clocks or increase the voltage -I did validate that the XMP settings are the ones my DIMMs are rated for. In any case I don't have much to go on so I'm just monitoring the situation.

Well as I have said I have ran Memtest and found no issue, but the instability is intermittent which confuses me greatly. I'll try to run it overnight again and see if something happens. Then I'll downclock the memory to see if it solves it. The problem is that whenever I try anything, I have to monitor the situation for hours or days to see if the situation changes at all, because most of the time there's no problem.

I'm running at XMP specs, so in the case of this SKU it's: DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Timing 16-18-18-36 As for the BSOD, that only happened once and I'm not sure if anything was changed.

Hello everyone, specs are below. So I'm currently experiencing a strange issue with my computer. A few days ago I got a 32gb memory kit by Corsair (CMW32GX4M2C3200C16) because the price was good. I previously had 16gb of corsair ram which I took out of my PC and installed the new 32gb. I experienced a BSOD about 4 hours later. I rebooted the PC and went into Prime95 and ran some Blended tests and it started spewing out errors. I rebooted which fixed the issue and everything went back to normal for the rest of the day. Then, I started experiencing crashes with my software/games. I decided to run Prime95 Blended tests again and it was still experiencing more "fatal errors". I turned the PC off and on the first 2 tries, the PC would stall when trying to get into my diagnostics USB drive. I managed to get into memtest and ran it for a few hours without issue. The intermittent nature of this problem makes it very confusing to me: as it is, every time I boot up the PC, the first thing I do is I run Prime95 blended tests. If it doesn't make errors in the first few seconds, I'm good until the end of the day. If it does make errors, I reboot until it doesn't. It can take 2-3 tries. Any tips and ideas would be very appreciated.

It seems to be ongoing then, that's kind of disappointing :(

Hello guys. So I suspect people have posted about this before but it's a bit of a concern of mine. I currently run iCUE on my PC because as far as I can tell it's the most effective way to control the light of my RAM and H115i RGB, as well as the fan curve of the radiator fans. Unfortunately, it's a pretty hefty process to let run in the background, consistently hogging 4-5% of my 9900k through "Corsair service" and anothe 0.1-0.5% from the iCUE process itself. Now, 5% may not seem like much but these little things add up, between the antivirus, the various chatting/voice software, the motherboard RGB controls and the mouse management meme. Thankfully these other control programs usually use well below 1% of CPU. I know it's not a huge deal but I've tested it out and it does hurt my synthetics scores so it's not entirely without consequence. I gain an easy 50 points on Cinebench by turning off iCUE which, in turn, shuts down the Corsair.service. The downside is that then, the pump RGB starts doing its own thing :P I don't know if there's anything I can do on my end or if perhaps Corsair should put a leash on that process ^^
