Hey everyone,
Firstly, I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong section; I'm not entirely sure if my RAM is the cause of the issue. For context, my PC has been slowing down to a halt and locking up, requiring a force restart. This has been happening consistently for over a week, around 1-2 times a day.
It always occurs midway while I'm playing a game. During the first couple of days, my PC just locks up immediately, requiring me to initiate a force restart. The problem doesn't reoccur after a single restart for the rest of the day.
In the next few days, I would encounter my PC slowing down to a halt, and only then does it lock up, requiring a force restart. There was a day where these graphic "red artifacts" and a black screen appeared before it completely rebooted my PC. This was also when I noticed it could be my RAM issue, as the RGB lights on my RAM shut off, while the rest of my PC is still lit up. Did it crash or something?
Strangely, this is happening only for some games. For some reason, I am not encountering this issue in games like Homeworld 3 and Manorlords (long playthroughs), but it happens in games like PSO2:NGS and some mobile games.
FYI, my RAM is quite new; I replaced it like 3+ months ago.
Specs:
- i5 13600K
- 4090 GPU
- Gigabyte B760 Gaming X AX DDR4(Bios version, F1 (6/10/2022 - default release version)
- Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL 32GB 3200MHZ (2x16GB)
- 1000W FSP Hydro GT Pro 80+ Gold (Approx. 17+ months of use?)
- No Overclocks (don't know how to)
Any help would be appreciated. I am also now using HWMonitor but have no idea how to identify whether a hardware issue is occurring when stress testing.
