Hello experts,
I have a problem that I can't seem to diagnose.
Was receiving occasional crashing, and BSOD over the pass 2 weeks maybe 3 times. (Windows 8.1) This is a new system I have built and have built many others before.
My bios is set to default settings (I also set the XMP settings for the RAM to try and diagnose the problem)
I did a memtest in dual channel A1 and B1 slots received around 13000 errors. Also ran prime95 at stock and stopped working 1-10 min.
So i switched to single channel slots A1-A2 and B1-B2 received no errors for a while ran prime 95 and wasn't stable failed around 1-10min. Then I ran memtest and encountered errors. I tried slight overclocking with the CPU and 4.0ghz (4770k) and the crashing was more frequent.
I have also tested each ram, just one single ram stick on each slot and receiving no errors, so the RAM doesn't seem to be faulty.
What I have gathered so far from my testing is when I add more than one ram stick the system becomes unstable more unstable in Dual channel than a single channel configuration. I've also tried all MB slots
At this time i am running the system with Prime95 at stock with just one RAM stick and it seems to be stable.
System:
CPU 4770k
MB Asrock pro4 z87
Ripjaws 1866hmz RAM 14900CL9D-8GBXL
H100i Liquid cooling.
As a note temps are fine prime is giving me 53c at load 4770k. RAM is also warm, but not hot.
Thanks.
