try to troubleshoot other factors affecting performance. your system runs smoothly with 16GB RAM and high-end components like the Ryzen 3 4350G. the issue seems tied to game stability rather than hardware specs. consider checking for driver updates, background processes, or thermal throttling. if problems persist, test with a different GPU or monitor to isolate the problem.

What is the designation on that 1000W power supply? If it seems questionable, you might experience fluctuations in voltage affecting the RAM or processor, potentially causing system failures.

I haven't checked yet... I'm starting my unit now, bye!

I think it's not 1000w. I got it from a friend while I was setting up my PC. Edited June 3, 2024 by ian_one

It seems like you're pointing out some concerns about the product. It's not uncommon to question specifications, especially with smaller power ratings.

It could be referred to as antiquity, though that term isn't very flattering. Remarkable is how it has endured for so long.

I believed I was getting a solid price from my friend, but after testing with my 2GB RAM (which uses 1.2V each), there are no problems. It runs at 2400Hz.

Did they belong to the same package? Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump and verify the presence of any minidump files. If found, return to the Windows directory and transfer the entire Minidump folder to the Downloads folder (desktop works if OneDrive isn't syncing). Compress the copied folder and include it in a post. Please adhere strictly to the guidelines provided by Windows.

I'm worried about this component's voltage stability. Generally, the motherboard changes the 12V power from the PSU into a lower 1.2V for RAM. If the supply suddenly drops to around 11.5V, the regulators might only provide about 1.15V instead of full 12V. For the 2x4GB module, lowering it to 1.15V could still work, but the 2x8GB version may struggle and begin to fail. Some DDR4-2666 modules actually need more voltage when using XMP, sometimes reaching 1.35V for stability at higher speeds compared to standard settings. A voltage drop from an unstable PSU can lead to instability. The CPU also feels it—faster RAM demands more work from the memory controller. For the controller, especially with DDR4-2400 and lower capacity kits, a slight voltage change might not be a problem. But moving up to DDR4-2666 pushes it beyond safe limits, causing errors when voltage falls. This isn't certain, but it seems likely the PSU is part of the issue. We're basing this on what we see here, but I wouldn't suggest cutting corners on the power supply if possible. If you can, upgrade to a PSU with a C or better rating—some are not even listed on the Cultist's Tier List.
