Hello, I went out today and purchased a new kit of G.Skill Ripjaws 32Gb (2x16Gb) 3600 MHz , which replaced an old kit of mine (Crucial Ballistix 16Gb (2x8Gb) 3200MHz) as an upgrade. I decided to do this because 16 didn't feel like enough, as a lot of the time games would crash due to not enough ram being available, even after closing other background processes. Since installing this new RAM I tried playing smite, which caused multiple game crashes and a few BSOD. I'm currently doing a test to make sure the RAM isn't faulty.
I did have a small issue of crashing beforehand, but it never happened often, so I think the RAM may not be the issue but maybe getting faster RAM has just made the previous issue even worse. I tried changing the XMP profiles to both 1 and 2 to see if that changed anything, which it didn't. I also saw in other threads people saying a faulty power supply caused their issues, which I have always suspected but I'm not sure how to test a PSU for being faulty. I apologize for the long post, but I'm just asking for any advice on what I should do, as I'm not all that highly experienced in troubleshooting.
Also, the rest of the specs are:
ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming
ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2070 O-8Gb
Intel i9-9900k
Thanks in advance to everyone
