Greetings, Around a few weeks ago, Acrobat pro XI started crashing at random times producing the following error in the Event Viewer: I'm not doing anything in particular to cause the crash; it just seems to happen whenever it wants. I don't get any pop up warning or anything when it...

I flashed the bios a couple weeks ago. I believe the latest build is from November 2018

I downloaded CPU-Z and tried manually setting the timings in the BIOS as shown under XMP 3200 below: I set the DRAM frequency to 3200 and my computer didn't boot. It boots using 3000 MHz and 16-18-18-38 from above. I ran TM5 and it found no errors with this current configuration. Another...

I downloaded Thaiphoon Burner to obtain information about my RAM. It appears my die is Samsung 8 Gb B-die (see below): Thanks for the guide link. I read through parts of the guide, particularly the section titled Finding a Baseline. I followed the suggested voltage settings and timings from...

I haven't added any new components and don't have RGB things in this build. I just reinstalled windows on this PC but sadly don't recall if I had these issues before or not. I don't think it was like this, but never paid too close attention. I did a full reinstall of windows using the RUFUS...

I have not tried that yet. I'll do it at some point since I would have to remove the graphics card to get to the little battery on the mobo

I was unable to locate any post-delay options in the BIOS and have UEFI boot on. The way my windows was installed won't even let me boot in legacy. I updated the bios and still have the issues. Same thing happens when trying to wake up the PC: I press a key on the keyboard, wait about 7-8...

Thanks for the advice. I updated my bios to the latest firmware. Turning on XMP didn't work, so I tried the "memory try it!" preset profiles again. I wasn't able to get my computer to boot with any profile set between 3066-3200MHz (my RAM's advertised speed), but I was able to get it to work...

No, I bought the mobo in 2016 and it has been part of a couple builds. I never did anything with the BIOS and was considering flashing it but don't want to risk irreparable damage if I don't have to. Maybe I should try it.

Slots 2 and 4. I was trying to test with just a single stick in slot 2, but I was met with a screen that said my memory configuration changed and to press F2 or something to enter my bios. USB Keyboard was plugged into a 2.0 slot and wasn't powered on, so I couldn't test further.

Hi, I'm just wondering why I have such a delay after pressing the power button to boot. My system: MOBO: MSI Z170A Gaming M5 CPU: i7-6700k RAM: 32GB (2x16) G.Skill Ripsaw V Series DDR4 3200 GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 Super SSD: 500Gb Samsung EVO 870 NVMe (Main) SSD: 1000Gb Samsung EVO 970 NVMe PSU...

I've been trying to raise my RAM clock speeds above 2133 MHz and am having no luck with it. Here is what I'm running: Mobo: MSI Z170A Gaming M5 CPU: i7 6700k RAM: 32GB (2x16) G.Skill Ripsaw V Series DDR4 3200 I've tried simply turning on XMP in the BIOS, but reboot to a memory error. I then...

Thanks for the tip. I installed it and am now able to properly enable/disable it when I need.

Thanks to you and the other user who recommended this. It fixed my issue, and I was able to turn it on and off / add exclusions as needed. The free version of Bitdefender seems more than capable for my needs.

Thanks for the recommendation. I followed the steps from the video, but the problem still persists. I wonder what it can be!
