I did more memory passes but it occasionally reboots before POSTing. I further clocked it down to 2800 MHz and it doesn't do it anymore. Unless I'm mistaken, the mismatched memory chips just can't work together perfectly on high speeds. There might be a way around that but I'm willing to bet...

Sorry! I meant to say a 2x8GB kit. I bought another one of those to get a total of 32GB. I doubt that. It only does it when it starts, and it's fine after that. And it's only sometimes. Since that server is on most of the time, I can't recall if it was doing it before. It passed a total of 3...

Hello, I come with what I imagine is a typical question. I had a KLEVV DDR4-3200 2x8GB kit installed in my Ryzen 2400g system and I needed to upgrade it to 32GB. I bought another kit from that same brand and made the upgrade to 32GB. I'm aware of the risks. I've personally taken them multiple...

Today, I tried to install Windows 11 on a used Dell laptop I bought from eBay. After the USB finished installing and the setup restarted to OOBE, it demanded that I connect to a WiFi network. So I did this and next thing I knew, the company name of some random IT organization pops up. Worse...

Hello! I've got a B85-HD3 motherboard with broken RAM slots on the left side. This means that two slots from each channel are dead and can't be used. Having a single stick just for testing on either slot on the left side causes the motherboard to power loop endlessly. I've tried multiple...

Now I'm wondering whether it had a short and it was slowly killing my mainboards 0.0 Well, probably not? I'd have to test it once I go back. If there's a short it should be measurable. That's the immediate danger. I really doubt it though. If there was a VCC short to ground Windows lets you...

The minimalist approach is a good idea. Only problem being is that this is my brother's build, so I can't exactly afford to take it away from him for days just to test it. Testing it for just a couple of hours is already a challenge. And he's kinda angry with those whole situation. I mean, he...

This is what I think too. But as I said, I already changed the motherboard, and its dead again? It just seems unfathomable to me. What are even the chances? You know, that previous Gigabyte board that died? I sold it at eBay as faulty just to make back some cash from that replacement. And the...

After messing around for a few hours installing the cpufreq scaling driver, disabling Intel powerclamps, and trying to figure out why my system won't boost to 3.9 GHz, I figured it out. I am being power limited by my motherboard's Embedded Controller during heavy loads. But it will boost to 3.9...

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I was busy but the computer is still crashing even after latest BIOS and upgrading the modules to the Corsair ones. I did everything you said and Memtest always passes without issue. Without XMP at motherboard defaults, with XMP, and then JEDEC. I don't think its...

I'm not using Windows, I'm using Linux. Sorry... should have mentioned it from the beginning. The 100C highs you are seeing aren't "Max temps" like you would see in HWMonitor for example. They just report what the highest possible temp is. It's always 100C because it isn't a stat, but...

Actually, to verify my claims (A lot of the times I'm wrong) I did some testing as @BurningSoul suggested. Here is the game. It's mostly okay (55 fps, 55 vps) but it struggles and that's not allowed in Wiimmfi: Now here are some measurements: Ignore how it says that Cinnamon (the desktop...

Ah, I'm so sorry for not replying. I didn't get notifications for some reason. My CPU is fast enough to emulate PowerPC, at least for the Dolphin emulator. The problem is graphics. It isn't fast enough to render them. RAM matters for iGPUs. I don't have a Celeron. I have an i5 8125u. But...

I have an HP laptop with single-channel 8GB memory, running at around 2200MHz if memory of the label serves. The model is HP 15 dw1200na. That should give a full range of specs. I want to emulate Mario Kart Wii. It runs it at around 55fps/vps which appears to be enough, but it isn't because I...

Oh, I tried one of them but it returned similar kits but with different heatsink colours (which might mean that its a different model). I'm sure with some looking around its possible but I already purchased new RAM, so I didn't look too deep into it. The computer crashed again, which tbh I was...
