If the ram is faulty windows uses vram more?

[hithammady]

Hi guys
So I had alot of games and programs crashing recently sometimes a full windows crash with a bsod
I ran memtest86 and sometimes I get alot of errors so it may be the ram
Sometimes when I play a game like dota2 or cs in borderless window and I press start the game stutters and fps drops sometimes I get windows massage : windows has detected your computers performance is slow
Someguys told me that my pc is running out of vram
My question is : is this because of the faulty ram or this is a fault in the gpu not related to the ram
I have a freshtech prebuilt pc like the one in the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Freshtech-H110M-S2H-Motherboard-Performance-Certified/dp/B01C8QFMJW/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1514413303&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=gaming+pc&psc=1
Can you guys help me?

VRAM and system ram are different n your case, your vram is dedicated on the 1060 3gb. Memtest86 test your system ram if you got lots of errors you should rma or buy new ones.

In short, system memory is fault from memtest86 testing, replace the 8 gb mdmory, and just fyi, window mode gaming usually will suffer a performance hit vs full screen mode.

Thanks for your responce
My gpu temp rises up to 84c when playing games like overwatch and pubg is it a ram issue as well or a vram issue? And thanks again

Memory don’t consume much power, gpu is a chip just like cpu. You can use software msi afterburner or software from the gpu vendor to change the fan curve to make it run faster at lower temperature threshold.

Temps climbing up while you game is due to the card working harder. So it heats up. At this point the heatsink/fan cooling on the card should keep it under control. One reason this might not happen is if it's hot, in general, in your computer case.

If you have poor airflow through the case, if the inside of the case is a tangle of cables, if your fans are dirty and the heatsink covered in dust...all this kind of stuff can cause components to run hotter than normal.

Just to make sure about your 8gb system ram, I'd double check the ram settings in the bios. If it's rated for 2133mhz at 15 15 15 35 timings 1.2V, as an example, you want to make sure that's how the bios has it set up. Sometimes the auto detect in a bios can choose the wrong ram settings and that can give you errors.

What about the windows masssge : windows has detected your computers performance is slow
And the stuttering when playing for more than 30 min continues and pressing start button on borderless window games like dota cause fps drop below 30 I mean I never had this issue while I was gaming on my old laptop this pc shouldn't have such issues maybe the gpu has a problem as well?

 

[zyh1987]

84 is a bit on the high side, but doable what's your cpu temperature?

if you noticed issues after 30 minutes, it's likely related to your cpu/gpu temperature. cpu/gpu has mechanism built-in to prevent overheating but slowering down its operating frequency.

and also, how's your memory usage while gaming, do you get lots of page fault (from task manager) while gaming? another possibility could be that there is lot swap of data from ram to desk, because the ram is getting full.

Cpu temp is fine
I used prime95 and noticed the temp in the 55-60c and while gaming its between 40 and 50
But the gpu temp is higher than 80 when playing games like overwatch and pubg on epic and v-sycn is off
is the gpu temp problem related to the faulty ram or is it a gpu problem?
And thanks for your responses

I used to have bsod stating PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED _AREA
is it what you mean?

 

[zyh1987]

memtest86 can check all your system memory, if test fails, then you need to replacing rams.

to check vram, you need tools like MemtestG80/MemTestCL, since you have a nvidia card, you can use memtestg80. if these fails, your vram has issue, and you need to replace graphics card.

you shouldn't see error when running these tests, if you can repeatedly get the error during these test, you need to get corresponding part replaced.

I got hundreds of errors in memtestg80 and no errors in memtestcl what does it mean?
