About a month ago I set my ram (G.SKILL TridentZ 16GB 3200mhz) to XMPII with zero problems...But last week when I tried reverting the change, and setting it back to the "Default" setting, about 10-15 seconds after logging in to windows, my PC would display the blue "Your PC ran into a problem" screen and restart. This happened multiple times so I changed the ram setting back to "XMPII" and now it's fine.
It's not a huge issue because I still plan on running at 3200...but I'd still like to know what was causing this problem.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it(y)
Just fyi I have no clue where my username came from...I think I made this acc like 5 years ago
