Hey everyone, I'd appreciate some advice with an issue I've been having with my computer. I've assembled around 10 pcs now and had begun to have a level of confidence in doing it but my latest issue has taken me down a rabbit hole which taught me how much I really didn't know.
So I had felt my computer getting sluggish during load times in games and figured my solution would be either A: to switch my hdd for a ssd and B: get more ram. So I did both. I didn't realize when I got my new ram the pairing wasn't completely identical to the previous pair but it was fairly close. I had a pair of 2x8 G.Skill Ripjaws V 2133Mhz. I had apparently purchased some 2x8 G.Skill Ripjaw V 2400Mhz. I looked into my motherboard to verify they were infact compatible and did some research to see if this would cause issue. Internet concensus seemed to be to me that they should play nice together but I'd take a slight waste as the 2400s would only function at 2133 to match the pair. I installed them, booted up and all seemed well. About an hour into gaming the game I was playing crashed. Its a bit of a buggy still in development game though so I didn't want to blame my pc yet. I had tried some more and eventually my PC went into BSOD. It seems to only have issue when high ram usage is involved.
Im currently updating my MOBA drivers to see if that helps at all but I imagine the issue is a bit bigger then that. I've seen people mention changing voltages of ram and other things in the bios that I'm unfamiliar with. (Never really overclocked a machine) any help to the situation would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the long text I figured any information would help.
My specs are as follows
Moba: B350 Tomahawk
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8-Core
Ram: 2x8 G.Skill Ripjaws V 2133
Ram: 2x8 G.Skill Ripjaws V 2400
Gpu: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
