Question Problem with RAM or RAM slot

[woofieorsmthng]

Hello,

I have problems with my computer crashing in the middle of the gameplay. I knew that there's a problem with the PSU or the RAM. Now I know that the problem is with RAM, because when I run the memtest86 my PC crashes like it does while gaming. But when I changed RAM slots from B1 and B2 to A1 and A2 it didnt crash anymore, so my question is - Is there a problem with the RAM or the slot and does this change (from B to A) decrease the performance of my PC?

Could be the slots - but did you install the RAM as per motherboard specifications?
Recommended dual channel - 2 module setup for that motherboard is slots A2 and B2 being used together.

If you install them single channel, then you'll have the performance disadvantage of using single channel over dual channel.
