Hello,
System Info, to start with:
For about a week now, I've been having some issues with my PC, where it suddenly freezes and restarts. I used to keep the PC on the floor, but before the freezes started happening, i moved it on my desk and the first time it froze and restarted was when i hit the desk with my leg by mistake. After that, it started happening randomly, without me hitting anything.
I have tried to check whether it happens only when certain programs are active, like only browsers, Discord, games, but it happens regardless of what's active and sometimes even without any programs opened.
My first thought was that maybe it's the RAM's fault, maybe it got displaced, so I reseated it and ran MemTest86, which returned 27 errors in Test 6 [Block move, 64 moves] with XMP on, running at 3000MHz 15-17-17-35 1.35V View: https://i.imgur.com/n2aV6W7.jpg
, but no errors with XMP off, running at the default 2133MHz. While I haven't yet tested if I still get random freezes at 2133MHz, what's weird to me is that for the past two years I've been running XMP with no problems at all.
Is the RAM defective because MemTest reported those errors? Should they also pop up at 2133MHz for it to actually be defective? Or could some other piece of hardware be at fault for the issues?
