hello community
i would like to hear some expert thoughts regarding a problem am facing.
i build my rig recently and i used the best parts i could offer(witch cost a lot here in my country) so i was expecting some serious performance.
my setup is:
Intel® Core™ i7-4790 Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz)
Asus Intel Z97-P ATX Motherboard
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
ASUS GeForce GTX 980 STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5 4GB
HyperX Beast 16GB (2x8GB) PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (HX324C11T3K2/16)
I used to have a normal 8gigs 1333 ddr3 from my old pc but when I installed my new graphic card it showed only pci express 2 so I had to change the ram to solve this issue.
So I bought the hyperx beast and setup XMP profile in the bios to run at 2400MHz.
Since then (2-3 weeks ago) I had 4 BSOD and many CRC error when installing games or large programs from disks (couldn’t complete any installion). I didn’t know what caused this so I did some researched and found that its ram related issue.
Trying to solve this I ran some memory Diagnostics like the windows built in mdsched.exe tool, HCI memtest tool and MemTest86 all test completed without any error but the CRC errors didn’t stop until I disabled XMP from the bios.
Now am confused is it the motherboard or the memory kit or is it something else?
I paid a lot for this kit (it cost 160$ here) and I want to use its full speed not like a normal 1600MHz one.
Again I would like to hear what the community thinks about this and thanks in advance.
