Question I recently ordered new ram and some video games make my screen go black

[elleoss]

I recently ordered HyperX Predator Black 16GB Kit 3000MHz DDR4 CL15 DIMM XMP Desktop Memory HX430C15PB3K2/16

Some games, such as modern warfare and Rust, make my screen go black when they are run in fullscreen mode. However, when I select a different window on another monitor like chrome, I can see the game clearly. I must run the games in windowed mode for them to work. I did not have this problem prior to changing my ram.

I have tried reinstalling gpu drivers. no luck.
specs
motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON

GPU: nvidia 1070 ti

cpu: intel i7-6700k

old ram: XPG ADATA DDR4 2800mhz 16gb 8x2 cl17

new ram : Hyperx Predator 3000mhz DDR4 16GB cl15 8x2

200MHz wouldn't give you and visible performance boost but did you set XMP again to match new RAM ?

I set the frequency to 3000Mhz and then tried 2133Mhz because that is the highest my CPU specs says it can handle but still run into the black screen problem.

Turning off g-sync fixed it.
