Adjusted RAM settings in BIOS
Adjusted RAM settings in BIOS
Pc specifications: Original name: Omen 25L. Modified name: HP Dorado_4L. GPU: GeForce Rtx 3060. RAM: x4 DDR4 8GB. Motherboard: Pinnacle MM1-K 3200 MHz. Power supply: Cooler Master 500W 80 Bronze. CPU: Core i7 (initial boot still uncertain). Storage: One 2TB 3.5" HDD, one 4TB 3.5" HDD, one NVMe 2TB drive. As mentioned in the title, I adjusted my RAM settings in the BIOS to help prevent crashes. After several attempts—turning off Secure Boot, changing boot order, running Memtest86—I didn’t see any errors and the game ran smoothly. However, after checking motherboard compatibility (it listed 2933 MHz), I updated it and still faced issues. I tried removing all RAM and using two sticks, then one stick, even disabling CMOS for a short time. The process was risky; I feared I might have damaged the system. No parts are available, and I’m without funds for a replacement. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Test every stick in each position. Did you reapply it while trying to resolve the issue? Inspect the socket for bent pins. Remove all unnecessary connectors, including one RAM stick and one fan (to verify POST status). If possible, swap a different PSU or use an older system (Pentium 4 era). Search for CLRCMOS pins on the board. Place a short CLRCMOS with the PSU disconnected from the wall. Maintain the connection for five seconds. All non-mechanical problems have been excluded.
Reverting the CMOS will restore all BIOS configurations to their default state.
