I built a new computer for video editing, some new parts and some reused from old system.
Hardware spec is as follows:
Intel 6800k
NZXT Kraken X61
ASUS X99-E
32GB Corsair LPX 3200 (8x4), in A1,B1,C1,D1 slots like manual suggest.
EVGA Supernova G2 750W
Nvidia GTX 670 (from old system)
500GB Samsung 850 EVO (from old system)
256GB Samsung 950 PRO m.2
10Gbit NIC to storage server.
I manually set the memory speed to 3200mhz on first statup, left most of the other stuff at default. I didn't reinstall windows 10 from old system, booted and played around a bit installing drivers and other stuff, got bsod. Then I couldn't log into windows any more, safe mode worked but was unable to fix windows. So I thought it must have been some driver issue or something else. Reinstalled windows clean and reverted the manual memory change back to auto(2133mhz). Windows installed fine, system seemed to work ok but as soon as I tried to encode a video with Adobe it used all memory and then I got a bsod and windows rebooted. Tried this a couple of times with the same result.
So then I restarted and booted Memtest86 7.1 free(single cpu as bios is not compatible with the other modes), ran test for about 8h and then canceled without any errors(memory at 2133mhz). Started windows and ran Prime95 for 6h with small FFT and another 16h in blend mode, no errors. Adobe still fail.
Frustrated about buying 3200mhz memories and running them at 2133mhz I went into bios and activated XMP profile, making them run at specified speed(3200mhz).
I again started a memtest run and this time memtest froze/locked up completely after about 2,5h(pass 2), no errors reported. CPU at 41 degrees at lockup. Hard reboot and restarted the test, this time it froze after just under 2h at the end of pass 1, no errors this time either. Shut down the computer and removed memory sticks from C1 and D1, reran the test with only two 8gb sticks in A1 & B1. It completed all four passes without errors or lockups. Removed the "good" memory sticks and installed the other two from C1 and D1 in A1 and B1. These also made it through all four passes without lockups or errors.
With only two sticks in the system I dont get any bsod in windows encoding with Adobe even though the encoding fail for running out of memory it doesn't bsod at least, but this is a separate issue with adobe. Before at 2133mhz and all four sticks adobe would cause a bsod, and as the four sticks make memtest lockup at 3200mhz but not with two modules make me believe the memory sticks are good. ASUS mb or cpu seems to have issues with it running in quad channel mode. Would this assumption be correct?
Any way to rule out either mb or cpu without actually buying a second set of hardware to test with?
Is it common that memory issues like this locks up memtest?
