Hi,
I have recently upgraded my PC with a new Z390 Aorus Pro + new i9-9900K and have been having system crashes in windows and games. After testing my memory with MemTest86+, both of my ram modules are giving errors. I had been using the same RAM in my previous sytem for 2 years without issues so I am confident that both modules have not become defective. I tried an older generic 8gb stick that I had kept and got the same results which are around a 30-40% pass rate on 3 different sticks of ram. Sometimes it passes but it will always fail during 'Test 7' - error count has been anywhere between 4 and 250. Memory is included on the 'supported memory' list for the M/B.
Things I have tried:
BIOS settings at default factory settings.
Tested with XMP enabled and disabled.
Tested all modules individually.
Tested in different slots (A1, A2, B1, B2)
After trying three different memory modules with the same results, I am inclined to believe this is a problem with my CPU or motherboard given they are the only components to have changed. Is there anything I can try to narrow this down further?
Sytem:
Intel Core i9-9900K
Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro
Gigabyte 2060 Super Gaming OC X3
2x8Gb HyperX Fury 2666Mhz
650W XPG Core Reactor
