Hi! Im using an AMD Radeon r7 370 2gb as my GPU and 2 Crucial Ballistix 4GB ddr4 2400 mhz and im currently facing some issues. Im not sure if its due to the compatibility between my GPU and Ram Cards, but ive heard it could be possible. Can anyone here confirm this to me? if so, which GPU should i get thats compatible with my RAM memory? TYVM In advance!

You could have bad ram. OR you could have a bad GPU. OR you could have both bad ram AND a bad GPU. The two things, ram and GPU, are not linked in a way that one interferes with the other.

One way to test this is to stress the GPU. If you run something like Furmark, you will put a large load on the videocard and it will draw a lot of power and heat up. If all is well with the videocard, nothing will happen. If the card has issues, this test may trigger them.

As far as the ram goes, I personally like to set the ram settings in bios myself. I know that ram comes with profiles that allow automatic configuration but I never trust that. It might be worth your time to read the specs on your ram, then just take a look in the bios to verify...

Hi! Well, the main problem is that my PC shuts down at random, but its not a regular shut down...... THe monitor, mouse, keyboard and all external devices suddenly shut down but my pc keeps on going ( Lights, fans) i have no choice but to turn it off manually. I had my PC checked and they told me that it might be that ( GPU and RAM). Anyways, im kinda new to the PC master race, but eager to learn..... My whole gear is as follows:

Motherboard: MSI AMD B350 Gaming Plus
Hard drive: Western Digital 1 TB
PSU: EVGA 700
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 4 Core 8 Thead 3.2 Ghz
RAM: 4GB DDR4 2400 UDIMM 1.2V Ballistix Sport
GPU: MSI Radeon R7 370 Gaming 2g, 2gb GDDR5, 25 bits, pciex
Internet adaptor: TP Link TL - WnB51N Adaptador PCIN


Thanks in advance.

PS: Sorry for my english. Im form south of the Trump Wall
