Hi There,
I built my PC in 2019 and lately its been switching off randomly both under load and when idle, the DRAM light is then on when rebooting and it does not post. It seems random and can run for hours no problem, then it completely powers off (the PSU clicks) and tends to cycle until it gets to safe mode, though that's not always guaranteed.
So...
I ran Memtest86 to check the RAM initially, it passed no probs.
Then removed my overclock & XMP profiles
Event viewer showed a paging file error, so removed additional paging file I set to an SSD though left the default one on the m.2 C: drive.
Finally started pulling RAM sticks out and all 4 sticks run fine in the first slot as the only stick, so it seems the 2nd DIMM slot (A1 in the manual, 3rd from CPU on the mobo) is my trouble maker.
I'm well past warranty now, so if you've got any ideas before I pull the trigger on a new mobo I'd love to hear them! Thanks in advance.
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
RAM: 4x8gb Kingston hyperx fury 3600 c18 (1x8gb currently haha)
Mobo: ROG Strix X570-F Gaming (4403 BIOS)
GPU: RTX 3070 (latest bios)
PSU: Corsiar 850m
Storage: 240gb m.2 boot drive and 5 SSDs for other stuff
OS: Windows 10 10.0.19045
