Thanks for the advice. I might cut down the ram. Want to over clock but only after I can make sure it can make it at least 10 days without a BSOD.

Thanks for checking in. Basically I was never able to isolate to any one dimm. It only appears with 4 and then not even all the time. And only an error or two. So...I decided to slowly up the clock speed manually. 3.6-3.7-3.8-3.9 up to 4.0. Each time running a stress test and no errors...

Ok; bummer. With XMP on, my son had a BSOD. So I ran memtest86 again and on the 2nd pass with 4 dimms got two errors. So, now I'm running it with two dimms to see if I can isolate it to a dimm or to the controller.

I turned XMP on from the easy screen, profile 1, and amazingly it’s survived one pass!

No bumps or knocks at all. One of the CPU screws was not super snug, but snug. All others fine. Still keeping it without XMP and no overclocking.

No major movements. I’m wondering maybe the slots are super sensitive? I didn’t turn on xmp as my son will have my head if he gets a BSOD from my fiddling.

LOL. And now that I put the 4 sticks back in (with all in different locations) it has passed test 1/4.

Ok; so here's the latest. Got some memory errors. I made the voltage changes above. Ran memtest. Got an error on test 4 in the first pass. Took out two sticks. Ran it again for 1 pass and no errors. Put in the other two sticks. Ran test with all. Got an error this time on test 5...

Ok, here are the numbers...still wondering why after almost two years it stopped like being overclocked. CPU core: manually set to 1.3V CPU cache manually set to 1.3V CPU systems agent (auto, running at .872V) CPU input voltage (auto, running at 1.776V) PCH I/O voltage (auto, running at 1.5V)

Thanks for looking into it. I can't check yet as my kid is in the middle of a campaign...lol, but I'll let you know soon. I think that systems agent is at default, but let me check and hopefully get back to you within the hour.

Situation: Overclocked PC was fine, but then got BSODs resulting in functionality only when not overclocked and added voltage given to CPU and DRAM. Background: PC used primarily for League of Legends while also running Twitch, Spotify, Steam and Discord. Was set for 13% overclock using Asus...
