its rare I see a Samsung drive be a problem. But had to check to be sure.
new PSU?
i shrank your initial post as it was too long to scroll through, just put it in a spoiler
so no BSOD, just games crashing.
He guys, First of all my specs: GPU: GIGABYTE AORUS RX 580 8 GB CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Motherboard: Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 PSU: Corsair VS 550 Windows 10 Error code: not sure if it is exactly the same everytime but Exeption code is! Faulting application name: bf1.exe, version: 1.0.54.32003...

I had one BSOD I can remember while using these sticks, happened during a Fallout 76 session, I cannot remember the message anymore but the description was something like: Windows tried and failed to compile a report, something or other... something about Windows being unable to do something, Fallout 76 generated an access violation crashdump. Happened too long ago so cannot find that crash in eventviewer.
It's not just BF1 that crashed, Foxhole did also, Fallout 76, Mordhau, even that Chrome tab I mentioned, it wasn't BF1 specific.
I hope having brought RAM down to recommended values solves these issues, also hope that with these tight-ish timings I am not going to lose much performance.
Quite happy with my CPU overclock too, it
seems stable, for now, even gives me ideas to try upping the RAM frequency a bit since now CPU has more power perhaps it will actually OC it's IMC better?
I really hope though the 2666mhz setting is where it ends, I have done so much trying to fix these crashes, I am out of ideas as what else to do if I get another Access violation, I avoided having to downclock to the last, but perhaps it's the solution.
