BSOD and 3 beep's with dual channel

[gnoukos]

Hello there,

I have bought KINGSTON HX316C9SRK2/16 16GB (2X8GB) 1600MHZ DDR3 XMP HYPERX SAVAGE RAM and i have installed them on the corresponding slots that the MB manual
indicates in order to have a dual channel mode. But i'm having a serious problem with that. Sometimes, at the system startup the screen remains black and 3 long repeating beeps come out from the CMOS speaker. This means that there is a RAM error. Furthermore, i'm facing BSOD's with various messages but all the messages are indicating that there is a memory error. I ran a memtest but it didn't revealed any RAM errors. So, i tried to remove the one RAM stick and then test the system's stability. The system run normally for a day without any problems. Then i swapped the stick with the other one. The system ran for a day without a problem. So it appears to be a problem while using Dual Channel. What do you think ? Is there a motherboard issue ?

My mother board model is: Asrock fatal1ty 970 performance
And my operating system is: Windows 10

Can you try switching to the other set of DIMM slots (e.g. black instead of red) and test that. To me it does seem like a motherboard issue, but I'm not sure if it is those specific slots or a general issue. If that works you could either RMA your board or deal with it if it isn't bothering you. If not I would just RMA your board anyway

I've also tried that too, with no result... Why you would RMA my board ?

I meant that if I were in your shoes I would just RMA my board, which it seems like that is the case. You could also try resetting the BIOS to default

What CPU? Your CPU might not even be able to handle 1600. Do you have the latest BIOS?

My CPU is AMD FX8320 and I have the latest bios

Should be good there, could try loosening then snugging down the cooler to screw tight - if too tight in a corner or side it can throw the MC (memory controller off), might also try increasing the CPU/NB voltage to 1.2, and lastly it's possible the cause is bent/broken pins on the CPU - if none of thos help I'd guess a mobo problem
