Hello!
I upgraded my RAM from 16 GB to 32 GB, but I'm unable to keep my computer stable when running the RAM at stock frequency, 3600 Mhz, which my motherboard is supposed to support. When I set it to 3600, sometimes it doesn't POST or just randomly reboots under load when multitasking or gaming. I tried enabling D.O.C.P. for 3600 Mhz and also increasing DRAM voltage in increments up to v1.40. The voltage increase helped as the random reboot doesn't occur as often, but it's still an issue. Also tried CMOS reset.
Any ideas on what I could do? I tried googling, but I'm not very knowledgeable on RAM. Should I return the RAM and get something else? Is this RAM just crap or am I just unlucky?
Appreciate any tips or ideas to solve this.
