I swapped out my stock cooler for a BQ! DRP4 and the 24 pin motherboard power cable and the GPU power cables for sleeved ones, didnt touch ram in any way.
When i powered it on it lit up and then died around 4 times without me touching anything with different intervals of being turned on, before booting completely normal.
Now in task manager it says 8.1 GB is reserved for hardware, but reads 16,0 GB in upper right corner, and speed of ram is set 600 mhz lower.

well i bought a new identical ram stick and stuck it in, now works. still have no clue why the first one died on me. only 50 mb hardware reserved so i guess if your ram stick is broken it gets "reserved for hardware". everything is as it normally were now

I have now tried taking each of them out, when i took out the first it said 50 MB reserved for hardware, so i figured it was the second that was busted. Swapped the first for the second and it didnt even boot. So i guess its the second ram stick that is for some reason busted. (tested in same slot on motherboard) I just cannot for the life of me figure out why the 1 ram stick would bust, since i didnt even touch it one bit.
