Windows Update screwed up my PC: Overclocking failed! (RAM)
My RAM is G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
As you can see, it is advertised as 1600MHz. A lot of people have been having problems about it being set to 1333MHz on the BIOS, so I had to specify 1600MHz when I built my PC.
Just now, I woke up with my PC mysteriously shut down -- I left it running before I sleep. When I tried turning it on, I saw this:
I went into the BIOS and saw that my DRAM Frequency has been set back to 1333MHz -- so that's what the overclocking failure was about. I exited and went through with Windows bootup, and I saw that Windows Update was prepping my PC. So now, what else could I blame?
I clearly remember rescheduling that update to Saturday morning, actually, but there wasn't any button to "Save" the re-schedule; so I was under the impression that it saved automatically. But anyway, it updated during the time I didn't want it to, and it keeps on making my RAM fail.
Has anyone experienced the same thing? If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
