Obligatory long time lurker, first-time poster nonsense.
Essentially, for Christmas I received a new 2x8gb 1600mhz Corsair Vengence DDR3 Ram Kit. I placed this in the black channel of my Asus p877-v motherboard w/ an i7 3770 @ 3.4ghz. In dual channel putting it into the far left black slot and skipping a slot to the second black slot and placing my original ram (2x4gb 1333mhz DDR3 Samsung Dims) in the second channel. I made sure that the full 24gb was being picked up in the bios, at the lowest speed as I had assumed, wasn't a big deal for me as I prefer the capacity over the speed so I can game whilst having a fair amount of stuff running in the background.
Well, once I started to run games I noticed they were crashing 5-10 minutes in without fail. Primarily tested Rust and Garry's Mod. The issues extended to stellaris, Modded MInecraft and anything else I through at it but general usage seems fine (once my active discord call crashed alongside with the game)
Eventviewer is telling me it is failed to read addresses so I assume it's directly attributed to the RAM so I ran memtest86 w/ 4 passes and Windows mem diagnostic 10 pass twice in extended mode. No errors.
I have twigged around in the BIOS as well, setting the frequency and everything DRAM related to auto .
Please if you have anything that can guide me as to how to diagnose this further or potentially fix this let me know! TIA!
Edit: This is the model number of the specific dims I have, cmz16gx3m2a1600c10
Working on getting some actual errors from eventviewer to post. Thanks again!
Edit 2: Changed DRAM Timings all to Auto, haven't gotten a crash since. Too soon to know for sure.
Edit 3: Nope, Still got a crash. Nothing about it in event viewer strangely. The crash is essentially the window suddenly disappears.
Edit 4: Tried with Rust, got the same error. https://hastebin.com/obelihewef.sql
