Hi all.
I recently updated a few components in my computer. Namely the storage to a samsung m2-drive 970 evo plus 1 TB and 1 memory kit consisting of two G.Skill Ripjaws 8 GB, 3200 MHz (2x8GB) and also did a fresh install of windows. I had some problems setting up the memory to the desired speed. I had to force it to 3200Mhz (before was only 2133Mhz) by activationg XMP and then choosing 3200Mhz.
However everything did not go so smooth as i was wishing it would. My computer oddly freezes during download of games (numerous times) and windows have shown some peculiour behaviour - added 4 diffrent mailadresses i use in outlook and suddenly at a restart or if it was after an occation of freezing there was only 1 left?? I have since reverted to 2400Mhz speed for the memorys in BIOS (This being normal speed with no overclock. Maybe wrong here, feel free to correct me)
I ran userbench to test my system and it reported the memorys being slower than other samples of the same model.
So i came to the conclusion that i have to troubleshoot this somehow. Googled and found advice that i should use windows memory diagnostics - found no faults. Tried memtest86 and it sailed through the complete test without errors. You think this would be enough but me wanting to find why i cant run the memorys in the described/"promised" speed. I ran all the test one more time but with only on pass and found that the system freezes on Test 6 Block move, 64-bit.
So if i run only that test and single cpu i get no faults, parallell no faults, round robin no faults buuut when i run sequential i get a freeze when moving from cpu core 2 to 3...
What can i read or take from this? Maybe some of you here that have more experince can tell me or help me with which appropriate steps to take next?
I can test diffrent memory banks (2 and 4 used now) or try the memory sticks one at a time....or maybe i am just barking up the wrong tree here, should i test the drive or cpu.
Best regards
