Thanks for that. Yeah, that kinda confirms what I figured.

It's DDR4 3200, running at this speed, I believe. CPU-z says RAM frequency is 1596 CL 16

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I do have 3TB HDD for storage. Yes, I do have to watch the capacity on the SSD, trying to keep at least 50GB free. I realized that I can test storage performance in Lightroom easily by working on some photos saved to HDD vs ones saved to SSD. There doesn't...

I have a 250gb Samsung 850 Evo for Windows and programs. It's good, but the numbers I see for NVME drives have me drooling. But if I upgrade, will I actually notice much of a difference in everyday use? The program where performance is most important for me is Adobe Lightroom - editing large...

Cool, that makes sense. I'll just try to sell it with a money back guarantee :)

Thanks everyone for all the help! Updating the BIOS to newly released versions reduced my crashes a lot, but not entirely. So I replaced the RAM about a month ago and the system has been 100% good since then. I would like to sell the RAM that I replaced if I can. It never failed any diagnostic...

Thanks. I don't have the glitchy green screen anymore; seems to have fixed itself without me doing anything differently. I did have an issue with the mobo in auto-detect mode putting the RAM at 2133 when it is 2400. I enabled the XMP profile. With one stick of RAM, all was good. I put in both...

update: Memtest came up with no errors. I tried various combinations of swapping RAM sticks. What I discovered is that with two sticks of RAM installed (including swapped positions), I get the BSOD crashes. But if I have only one stick of RAM installed (either stick, either slot) the system was...

OK thanks!! Appreciate all the help! Will update after more steps.

Nope! I did wonder about that though. I hesitated to do it because I don't want to lose any apps or data....

Great, thanks for the help! I will try your suggestions.

I recently rebuilt my system: upgraded motherboard, processor, video card and RAM. Since the upgrade I've been getting lots of Blue Screen of Death crashes. Mostly on boot - often the system will attempt to boot once or twice and get a BSOD, and then start working ok on the 2nd or 3rd try...

ASRock B450M Ryzen 5 2600 RAM is GSkill DDR4 2400 8gb x2 Windows 10 on SSD - 850 Evo 256gb

Hi, I recently upgraded my mobo, RAM and processor. My RAM is 2400, but my Bios says 2133. It's set to auto-detect. If I try to manually select 2400, my system won't boot. Happy to post whatever info is needed to figure this out. Thanks for any help!
