It is more that it is able to change or rewrite the SPD values of the RAM. Which also causes a CRC check fail. Apparently the RGB Fusion Software has had some sketchy things that it does in the background from articles I have come across. Just know that I won't be using RGB Fusion Software...

Thank you very much for awarding the solution. Yeah so the ram wasn't being destroyed completely, it was more being corrupted by the RGB Fusion Software, specifically the Ram SPD was being written to. So whenever I switched the PC on again after a boot with Ram that worked before, it would make...

@DSzymborski @Colif if you could please flag the above as the best answer/solution, that would be appreciated thanks 🙏

Good Day Everyone, I trust all is going well. So I have managed to find the solution to my problem, which in a Nutshell was that the RGB Fusion 2.0 Software for the Gigabyte Aorus 1080Ti Extreme 11GB was "killing" the DDR3 Ram Sticks. The software was overwriting the RAM SPD profiles...

The software supposedly flashes the SPD of the Ram chips and messes them up to a point where the BIOS is unable to read the Ram which can hit you with DRAM LED...I think this is what happened to my G.Skill 16Gb DDR Dual Channel Kit

So I have been troubleshooting an issue which I thought was directly related to the installation of a Aorus Gigabyte GtX1080Ti GPU into my system...which I was suspecting was related to my DDR3 Ram being killed...but just last night I have come across an interesting coincidence where I had...

Good Day All, I have come across a very interesting problem or I think I have...firstly I thought my Gigabyte Aorus GTX1080Ti card was messing up my Ram or drawing too much power from my PSU...but but but. I have come across some forums, posts etc. where the RGB Fusion 2.0 software from...

It must be very coincidental because it affected two dual channel sets, but not in such a way that the ram boots up once on a other system. The cmos battery I had left out overnight with the clear cmos jumper set and no luck there yet. The BIOS of this board is still the first version with...

I tried to be as careful as possible not to knock anything else with the installation of the card, but anything could happen. So I will give the cpu reseat a try as well. I am in agreement that the 1080ti would be pulling more power because of it's physical build etc. And I would like to...

Just another update on this situation. So the Corsair Vengeance and G.Skill kits got tested on another mobo and everything booted up fine. Switched off the machine and tried switching on again, now got the same DRAM won't boot issue on this mobo as well. Why would the Ram be able to boot up...

Ah perfect okay now that makes way more sense, in summary the PSU is a major problem in this system and should be replaced👍🏻 And I was considering getting a more decent PSU Unit before doing the 1080Ti upgrade. Will definitely look at a improved unit, thanks for all the feedback and info man...

Meaning that you think the PSU is perhaps messing with the RAM and is not suitable for this setup? I can say that it did run the 1080 G1 for a solid 8 Months and all the other components remained the same..

No problem at all haha, But I do believe the PSU is capable of handling the 1080Ti? Unless it is borderline and that makes the RAM freak... Also to note the BIOS on this motherboard is still the OG version it came out with, so no updates on that yet. Opinions in whether I update this that it...

Howzit, Thanks for chipping in, PSU was list in my specs at the top as Cooler Master Elite V3 P600 @ 600 watts Bought it new along with the G.Skill kit, December 2022. I was also wondering about the XMP profile of the Rams not perhaps messing about, but how could that even be linked between...

Good Day To All, So to start off, here is the current PC Build: CPU: 2600k MOBO: ASUS P8Z68-V PSU: Cooler Master Elite V3 P600 SSD: SAMSUNG 870 EVO 1TB RAM: G.Skill F3-1866C10D-16GSR Sniper 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1866MHz (HERE IS THE PROBLEM) GPU: GeForce® GTX 1080 G1 Gaming 8G I very...
