SOLVED: The initial problem was caused by a set of RAM that went bad. The secondary problem of still getting BSODs after replacing the RAM was caused by me after putting in the new RAM, I did not got into BIOS and "Optimized Defaults". I am not sure why I needed to do that being the new RAM...

All 4 sticks of memory are identical and are also listed on the motherboard documentation as compatible. That is why I never thought about mentioning it and did not consider it a factor. (Not to mention it has work fine for 3 years now) Corsair Vengence 4GB DDR3 16000MHz (PC3 12800) 9-9-9-24...

UPDATE: I returned the defective 2 stick RAM set under warranty and received a new set. I put the new set in with the old set (4 sticks, 16GB) and ran memtest86. No errors. I formatted my HD and did a new install of Windows 10. The random/various BSODs returned. I'm figuring it is the HD. So...

Over 24 hours as described above and system still up. Even made it thru a few games of Black Ops 4.

Well I just got home from work and see that it is at a BSOD screen. So I am taking the 2 good sticks and putting them in slots A1 and B1 to see how that goes. :unsure:

I don't OC normally. I have ran it all different ways. Made no difference. I have the 2 sticks that look good (2 and 4) in slots in A2 and B2 up and running for over 24 hours now without issue.

I have been getting BSODs with random reasons - nothing consistent. I'm fairly certain it is either the motherboard or the RAM. My motherboard is a ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+. My RAM is 4 sticks of CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz (PC3 12800) 9-9-9-24. I ran MemTest86 and here are...

Thanks everyone for your help. I ended up getting the Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX 580 4GB for $229 at NewEgg. Thought that was a decent price. It was $259 at Amazon. So hopefully it will last me another 3 years like my current Sapphire card (which still runs, just wanted an upgrade). Thanks...

This site shows the memory clock at 7000 MHz for the 4gb model and 8000 MHz for the 8gb model. Why is that? https://videocardz.com/newz/sapphire-radeon-rx-580-570-nitro-and-pulse-unveiled

The rx 570 8gb and rx 580 4gb are the same price. Boost clock speed:. 570 = 1340 mhz , 580 = 1411 mhz. They also make a "pulse" version of 580 8gb that boost clock is 1366 mhz and is $10 more. Sorry to keep beating this, but going from 2gb to 4gb doesn't seem like that big of increase. I am...

Thanks everyone for the advice! The reason I am worried about not getting 8GB, is what if a game in the next 3 years requires 8GB? That is what I am running into now with Titanfall 2. The video settings limit me because I only have 2GB of VRAM. The recommend specs. for TF2 is 8GB of VRAM...
