Sudden restarts after upgrading memory
Hi
More than a month ago I upgraded my memory to 16GB from 8GB (added one stick).
Since then it was working much faster and everything seemed to be ok but I experienced 3 sudden restarts of the Windows (the last one was last night, at 3am when I was asleep).
I made tests to the memory using Windows tester (don't remember the name) and it was ok. I also tested using memtest, 6 passes, no error. I can work on my computer for hours, it can be on for days and everything is ok but at some point I go to my computer and it is after a restart (2 out of 3 was at night).
I disabled the automatic restart on system failure but I didn't see a BSOD, is that an indication that it's not a memory?
I updated all my drivers and ran 2 related troubleshooting of Windows 10 and it found nothing.
After last night restart, I changed the memory settings in the bios to be in "better stability" mode. Not sure what is the meaning and whether it will help.
Is there a way I can check what is causing it? The memory is just a guess because of the circumstances.
Any other tips I have missed?
Thanks
