Forum errors. Not a lot to say.

Maybe the ram stick was the problem all along. I can't say I seen one just die before.
you tried a restart?

little update i swapped the rams positions in dimm slots and my pc is recognising them now and both lit up no blue screens as of yet but i now have started getting pink backgrounds which i used to get but very rarely.

a full restart no but i can if thats the best option then ill do it, i have noticed a new error thought, a pink background, its not my day today.

I assume PC was off when you played with ram so restart already happened.

pink screen, ram randomly not working.

Had you touched the ram sticks before one just stopped working? as it seems odd it just stopped.
Try removing the stick that was playing up and see if you still have pink screens. I wonder if it is the ram causing those.

i had taken the ram out just to check for visible damage ive had pink screens before just extremely rare.

seems pink screens can be either bad display adapter (GPU) or GPU drivers.

i have a 2060 super amp extreme zotac if its drivers then whats the best driver i can get im not really familiar with all this.

You on December drivers, so not that far behind

I would suggest running DDU - https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...n-install-of-your-video-card-drivers.2402269/
and then grabbing newest drivers from here - https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

alright ill have a look in a minute just contacting amazon about a potential replacement i didnt think it was an actual issue with the gpu this whole time

 

[Colif]

i don't know if its gpu. I feel we need to test it before we are sure

GPU (don't run these at same time)

https://geeks3d.com/furmark/
or
https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven

guess test is, do you crash while running them.

alright baring in mind only one of my ram stick ar in right now

no rush, take your time

Alright cheers I’ll let you know when I’ve done it

right so just realise that for some reason it was a background colour not an actual issue aha im so sorry fro wasting your time.

shakes his head 😀

It all seemed fine then I changed the MHz to 2933 and turned on docp then another blue screen seems like that’s the issue

looks like you just run at slower ram speed then. its not that big of a difference, a few frames in games. Beats BSOD anyway.

Yeah does that mean I’d have to either get a new cpu and ram

 

[Colif]

you can try to play with ram voltage and see if XMP sticks.

 

[Colif]

i don't think its cpu, i know memory controller on it, but this is likely just the mb not liking the ram timings. Up to you with ram but i don't think difference is that great to buy new ram that is also not guaranteed to run at right speed. XMP is an overclock, there are no guarantees you can get it.

I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to stuff like that though

 

[Colif]

So just run ram slow, you probably won't notice a difference.

hopefully only difference is no crashes

When I put my MHz on 2933 I noticed quite a big difference because turning that up then allowed my cpu to perform better too noticed a huge difference on vr

 

[Colif]

i asked if anyone could explain/show how to up voltage on ram so you can run it faster. I don't know myself. My ram runs XMP without any fiddling.
