Question Need help with build- suggest upgrades

[gatgraham]

Just started fixing old build
currently

Power supply:
Seasonic m12d 750em 750W

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4NtbCL

Just bought ssd I blue screened last night
I have always had stock cpu cooler, did i fry my cpu?

A blue screen isn't from frying your cpu.

Is this your current build, or your planned build?
I'm asking because the power supply you stated, and the model listed are different.

It's the Seasonic m12d 750em 750W, my apologies

Ok, so the partpicker list is your current build.

From those specs, I'd suspect your mixed memory kits aren't getting along.
Since you recently got an SSD - you cloned your old OS over to the SSD, didn't you? But the process probably didn't go smoothly, so you would need to reinstall the OS again to fix that one.

no I actually went from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on this rebuild

 

[Phaaze88]

So you fresh installed Windows 10 on the new SSD?

yes Ssd was brand new

Then take out either the G.Skill or Kingston memory kits you put in there and test it again.

benchmark with both sets of ram:

UserBenchmarks: Game 37%, Desk 68%, Work 39%
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K - 66.3%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti - 33.5%
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB - 111.5%
HDD: Seagate Video SV35.6 Series 1TB - 82.9%
RAM: Kingston 99U5402-461.A00LF 04CD F3-12800CL9-4GBXL 99U5402-461.A00LF 04CD F3-12800CL9-4GBXL 16GB - 50.8%
MBD: MSI Z77A-GD55 (MS-7751)

 

[Phaaze88]

The mixed memory has to be the source of the BSODs.
The 2 kits don't have the same timings:
F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (G. Skill)
HX318C10FK2/8 (Kingston)

New benchmark with quicker ram installed only (G. Skills):

UserBenchmarks: Game 37%, Desk 67%, Work 34%
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K - 65.8%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti - 33.8%
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB - 111.6%
HDD: Seagate Video SV35.6 Series 1TB - 81%
RAM: G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3 1600 C9 2x4GB - 60%
MBD: MSI Z77A-GD55 (MS-7751)

should i put the Kingston ram back in?

 

[Phaaze88]

Since the Kingston kit is the faster one anyways, take the G. Skill one out.

OK, this is the result i got with the Kingston ram in, as well i turned OC genie2 on via bios, results:

UserBenchmarks: Game 37%, Desk 70%, Work 33%
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K - 67%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti - 33.3%
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB - 112.5%
HDD: Seagate Video SV35.6 Series 1TB - 81.1%
RAM: Kingston 99U5402-461.A00LF 2x4GB - 49.1%
MBD: MSI Z77A-GD55 (MS-7751)

 

[Phaaze88]

WHOOPS! Forgot to mention to turn on XMP in the bios so the memory is actually running at 1866mhz.
Sorry!

this is my bench without OC genie2 enabled

UserBenchmarks: Game 35%, Desk 65%, Work 30%

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti - 33.5%

HDD: Seagate Video SV35.6 Series 1TB - 83.1%
RAM: Kingston 99U5402-461.A00LF 2x4GB - 48.4%
MBD: MSI Z77A-GD55 (MS-7751)

OC Genie2 isn't the same as eXtreme Memory Profile.
OC Genie2 does not appear to touch the memory speeds, so you will have to go into bios and enable XMP yourself.

I cant seem to turn on/ no option to change xmp
I am very new to this, i followed instruction/youtube and I dont have that option under my BIOS OC settings

 

[Phaaze88]

Have you tried the following:
Go into bios, select OC, then go to Customize OC Genie.
Go down to Extreme Memory Profile, and enable it. Save settings and exit.

You can also do it without OC Genie:
Bios again, OC menu, but scroll past Customize OC Genie on the list; Extreme Memory Profile should be further down the list.

I cannot select OC and then OC settings, I tried previously and without turning on OC GENIE 2 in the bios i cant make OC changes.

The only option I see is to manually change my ram to 1333 from a drop down, should i do so?

Huh... well I'm stumped on that one.

The ram is already running at 1333mhz, but that kit supports 1866mhz via XMP.
You can still try to manually set the frequency, primary timings, and voltage:
-1866mhz
-CL10-11-10
-1.5v for both memory channels

 

[gatgraham]

I changed the setting to auto select the ram frequency

I almost need to have someone sit down with me at this point, at the shop i had asked the guy to overlock it , but i don't think that is the case.
