neoange Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 have been suffering from freezes with a newly built pc for a month now, and i just found out that a pair of rams that passed 8 passes each of memtest86+ with 0 errors were the culprits which was why took a while to figure out,here is the model: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QDhKHx/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3200-memory-cmw16gx4m2c3200c16 once plugged in and tested, the first stick takes 10 to 20 minutes of gaming to freeze while the second takes like 2 hours max to freeze, and this has been tested one by one for several times. i didn't configure anything and just let the bios decide everything on auto, do i need to make a specific setup for them or are they just faulty ? i'm waiting for a spare but it will take days to arrive. please advise, i'm totally new to pc gaming and really need the help.

neoange Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) further updates: i run intel CPU Diagnostic tool, it said PASS for all tests, so i run prime95 blend stress test for 6 hours straight, there was no crash and no errors, cpu usage was 100% the entire test and temp never passed 70 degrees, might try to run the other tests overnight later. i pulled out the CPU and checked the pins and the thermal paste (followed tuto on youtube) and everything looked fine, no dents and thermal paste was done nicely, checked for faulty sata cables too. CPU: physical CPU looks fine, IPDT and prime95 tests are conclusive, will continue tests later. GPU: tested with 3dmark and furmark, swapped for a tested working GPU same model and the freezes still happens. RAM: i did run memtest86+ for 16h\8 passes with no error for each stick alone, tested every stick in every slot too. PSU: returned it to the retailer and he gave a different one the same model, https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3t8H99/cooler-master-power-supply-rs650afbag1us DISKS: tested with USB Seatools Boot file for long generic test, do i need to test with other softwares ? MOBO: updated to 1.6 bios flash, should i reset and update again ? the freezes are happening because of ram but i don't know if it's because of voltage or bad bios or the rams are just faulty. hwinfo results while 3dmark was running with cpu-z screenshots. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1Qz4zOXZ2yZ0IYN7xsoe3xV2Zk2kEcLtk speccy link: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/0...upgDYSMpYmHfVq dxdiag link: https://pastebin.com/y6vWABam 3dmark results :https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/35470728 Edited April 25, 2019 by neoange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Kevin Posted April 29, 2019 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 29, 2019 Are all your drivers up to date? Also, are you running the RAM at default 2133, or have you enabled XMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
