Hi
I have 4x8GB DDR3 RAM modules that have been working perfectly for several years. I started receiving random BSOD and the investigations led to a single RAM module being the defective one. After removing it, the BSODs stopped.
However, Windows 10 (up to date) became too laggy with the CPU/RAM not being fully utilized, event after a fresh restart. I remove another RAM module so that the system runs using a 2/4 memory bank combination, and am still facing a very laggy experience which was not happening before. SFC/scannow does not yield a problem, neither does windows' memory diagnostic tool upon starting the computer.
I am using a i7 4790k with Corsair Vengeance Pro 4x8 2400 running at 1600MHz as per CPU's maximum RAM frequency support (was running 32Gb perfectly fine at 2400 according to their label and motherboard, but then changed it to 1600 MHz after facing this problem and removing the 8GB module), with a Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard with an up to date BIOS. XMP is disabled and wasn't enable before.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
