I feel like an idiot. As I was adjusting some settings in BIOS I noticed that even though the date the bios was updated was the same as the most recent version listed on Gigabytes website, it was not the same version. My mobo was running version F4 of the BIOS, they were on version F11. Updated...

Just to cover the bases I decided to disabled XMP completely and run the test again. Prime95 blend test has been running for 2 hours now with no errors. I know that XMPs are not always achievable but considering the RAM was rated for 3600 and advertized as optimized for Ryzen and I haven't...

Thanks Nemesia for the link. After reading through that, I decided to try setting the CPU voltage manually in BIOS (it was set to Auto before). I set it to 1.3v and then 1.35v but still am seeing the same results in the prime95 blend test. What I'm confused about is that during the test, Ryzen...

I built a new system a few weeks ago and have been slowly fighting with it, trying to figure out some issues I think are for to RAM. It's my first Ryzen build and I've read that Ryzen is fairly tied to the memory accompanying it. System specs below. CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x Memory: G.Skill Trident Z...

The software does have an option to launch at startup. I just put the same ran in my new build, and I agree, it's kind of annoying to watch everything else match my white and yellow color scheme at boot but the ram is rainbow until windows launches the app. Not sure, but there may be a way to do...

I'm having the same issue exactly. Also using 560, but I have two of them running in SLI. I have tried reinstalling Windows 10 and also installing Windows 8 but I still get the same issue. I ran perfectly fine for a year and a half and then all of a sudden after updating to NVidia driver 375.70...

I'm not sure exactly what I did but the problem has been resolved. I had to revert to a system restore several times because the graphics drivers, whether installed via nVidia or through Windows updates, were failing. Eventually something clicked I guess and windows was able to install the...

I haven't overclocked the card. I ran the Java GPU detection tool on nVidia's website and it recognized the correct card. I'm not sure how to set the GTX 560 as my primary card in the MSI clickable BIOS. It doesn't give as many options as your standard BIOS. It has a setting for the GPU for...

Ok, so here's another update. I was able to identify the update that was causing issues. I disabled that update and every other update worked fine. The update that caused issues was the nvidia graphic driver. I tried instead going to nVidia's website to download the driver but it still had...

Ok. So I did not run any HDD tests last night. I have an MSI motherboard with the GUI interface for BIOS. There was no option to reset the settings for HDDs so instead I just reset the entire BIOS settings. I then made sure the Onboard GPU was disabled. I was then able to install Ubuntu 12.04...

I'll do this when I get home to make sure, but it shouldn't be a hard drive issue. It happened on my older hard drive, so I thought that may be the problem and I have had the drive for about 5 years so I figured its about time to change it anyway. I just put a brand new Seagate drive in 2 days...

I stopped the Memtest this morning after letting it run for about 10 hours. There were 0 errors with the memory so I'm sure that's not the problem. Any other ideas?

Yeah, I figured it out. It's been running for about an hour and a half or so. I'm going to let it run over night. I'll update you guys in the morning with the results.

How do i go about running a memtest?
