Hi, I only have free version, but 4 passes was around 3hrs, I did this 3.5x in a row and all passed with no errors, so I guess 11hrs ish. Thanks.

And Merry Xmas :)

Hi, just using standard jdec, non xmp profile, since I figured it was one of the first things that may cause a crash, but neither made any difference to stability. it is on the latest bios for my board. I only have free version of memtest, limited to 4 passes, but ran 4 passes, then another 4...

I downloaded MemTest (windows executable). It will only run up to 3.5gb at a time, so I opened five sessions and ran with 3GB, this used 100% ram and tested writing to page file. Within around 50 mins the PC restarted with a BSOD Who crashed reports: On Sat 24/12/2022 21:54:28 your computer...

Well, bad news. The new PAU has less voltage fluctuation, but, even with usb devices and hdds unplugged, at the 3hr point the PC locked up. I guess now I order RAM and try that. seriously getting pissed off of throwing money at a PC build thats only 1yr old and giving me so many problems :(...

Well, unfortunately it locked up again, after 1hr 30. So I went back to all srives unplugged and it locked up at 30 mins. ARRRRRGH. This has to be in alp my life building and playing with PC’s the biggest pain in the ass I have ever had. So back to square 1, I’ll switch the PSU out tomorrow.

Just saw this after I plugged the drives back in. So after plugging the three drives back in (USB devices still disconnected), I froze within 10 minutes of a game in Warhammer. So I disconnected the two normal HDDs and rebooted. Re-joined the game, and froze again within 10 mins. I then...

I don't want to speak too soon, but I disconnected all HDDs from PSU and MB and also I disconnected: Webcam Scarlet 2i4 DAC Xbox gamepad dongle Bluetooth dongle Have been playing Warhammer for over 3hrs, no lockup... That doesn't prove I guess its any of those devices and not the PSU, so I...

A couple of other quick observations. Since I have been unplugging things and poling around inside the PC, I noticed today when I turn the PC PSU on at the back switch it makes a ‘pop’ noise. I am almost certain that this has not happened before and is not normal. Also, I run an external DAC...

Agreed, and Ram is a2 / b2 👍🏼

Thanks. One thing I forgot about is I am using PSU extension cables, white sleeved ones? I haven’t tried with those removed? But I’ve got a new PSU route on way anyway, so plan to plug psu in outside the case, and just directly connect its cable to everything to save a lengthy rebuild before...

Thanks for sticking with me! :) CPU-z shows: CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 which is on the supported list. Same part no for each stick. I did get lock ups with both XMP and non XMP profile loaded. I also noticed bios aet timings wrong for XMP profile, so I tried with it manually tweaked, but again...

AIDA has been running now for 1hr 30, and warhammer froze within 15 mins earlier… I added in GPU stress test after 1hr 10, so now its all running pretty much flat out. After stress test CPU for 1hr 30mins Min CPU temps, 31,29,30,29 Max CPU temps, 90, 88,92,89 Ave CPU temps, 70,65,73,70 Mobo...

Thanks for the reply. So a quick update, I downloaded Windows 11, partitioned my NVME and installed a fresh / clean copy to the nvme. I then went into Windows and installed gpu drivers and pointed to my warhammer directory (forgot to mention, I started playing warhamme the other day and it...

Thanks, TBH, when I bought the crucial SSD (a long time ago!) it was pretty decent, it still has a faster write speed than most of the usual SATA SSDs. I did download crystal tools like advised and it has a health rating of 90%? Not sure what that means. I might copy the OS to the nvme and try...
