Ah I see, guess I'll get a dual channel 16gb kit like you mentioned. I suppose I can find a use for this working stick in some other project. Thanks! I'll check back with updates if anything happens

Ah I see, guess I'll get a dual channel 16gb kit like you mentioned. I suppose I can find a use for this working stick in some other project. Thanks! I'll check back with updates if anything happens
I see, and I can use the new RAM with my working stick despite the brand difference? Should all the sticks be the same capacity?
Yeah I should be able to. On the topic of ordering new RAM, should I order the exact same model I have right now? Or does the ram simply have to be the same speed and ddr format?
So, after lengthy testing over two days, I've pretty much confirmed that one of my sticks (let's call it R2) is bad. I followed philc43's advice and tested one stick (R1) in all four slots first....
I see, that clears it up thanks. I'll go do that and check back with results
It looked like a majority of the errors showed up in the third pass. So, I should take one stick out, run the other in every slot and check if I get any errors? If none come up does that mean I have...
So, looks like my RAM is thoroughly diseased. Got 292 errors after running Memtest for 10 passes last night. Now, as I understand it, I have to test the individual sticks and all my DIMM slots to see...
Alrighty, will do and post back with results
Hey all, some of you might remember me from a long post a few months ago about random but frequent BSODs. After a long and grueling troubleshooting process (shoutout to essenbe and axe0 for being...
Hey everyone, wanted to wait a long long time before I marked this as solved because I didn't want to jinx it :P But I haven't had any crashes for two weeks now so I think its safe to say the problem...
Hey axe0, sorry for the wait. Past two days my interent was out, but that was an Ethernet jack problem, not the PC. The thing is, when I opened up my case to test the PSU, I noticed the motherboard...
I have the install discs for Windows 8.1 that I used before I took the free upgrade.
Heya axe0, sorry for the wait. I finally got my multimeter back and checked the parts that used molex connecters. All readings were normal (checked against the post readings). Any next steps?
A friend borrowed my multimeter so I'll be getting it back later today, if the PSU tests are normal, does that mean the motherboard is causing the issues? I've got no problem spending money on a new...
Haven't found my multimeter so I went back on my computer, during boot up it crashed. Dm log attatched.
Nope haven't done that yet, guess I'll go do that. Comp crashed again and this time there was a new dump file, hopefully this helps? Idk, this sucks. Anyways, I'll get back to you on how the PSU test...
Also I'm now having BSOD's where the BSOD screen stays only for a moment and quickly reboots, no new minidump files are present after the reboot also.
Yup, I got the new SATA 3 cable a few days after building my computer, even with the cable disconnected using only the SSD with it's own SATA cable I still had BSODS's.
The hard drive uses a SATA 3 cable. The SSD was also using a SATA 3 cable. My motherboard came with one SATA 2 and one SATA 3 cable, I plugged my disk drive into the motherboard via the SATA 2 and...
Well I crashed again, weird thing is, after checking in my Minidump folder, all the old logs are gone and only this one latest dump file stayed. I updated windows a few hours ago, could that have...
in the application section there are a lot of events with the ID 1001.
Every tab except setup has events after the 22nd. Setup stops at the 22nd.
Not sure, this time it crashed but the screen flashed and went to black before I could see the error code, it was oddly fast so maybe no dump file was made? Not sure, here's another DM log I just...
Hey all, so my computer has been running slow as crap and like general shit so far. I guess I'm just used to SSD performance, or maybe edge browser is bad. Either way pages stopped responding and...
Oh yah sure, my bad. Should I reinstall CPU-Z and post better quality screenshots? Or are there any next steps?
