Does overclocking fail when starting up with four RAM sticks? Need assistance.
Does overclocking fail when starting up with four RAM sticks? Need assistance.
This issue has been ongoing for several years and I'm struggling to resolve it. I require assistance.
So far, the problem began around 2014 when I bought a motherboard from MSI. After a few months, my computer would randomly restart and shut down repeatedly, often within 4 to 5 seconds.
Later, I replaced it with a new one from ASUS, and the issue disappeared for about two years. However, the problem has reappeared recently. Now, when I restart, my computer keeps displaying an error like "overclock failed!" and pressing F1.
Some people believe the issue might be related to the power supply unit, while others think it's connected to ASUS's overclocking (EZtune) settings going wrong. So far, removing two RAM sticks resolved the problem. I've tried using the remaining sticks, and they also work.
Here is a link to my system specifications.
***UPDATE***
I attempted to run the system on each stick individually, but it appears one of the RAM modules is faulty. No matter which slot I try, the system fails to boot. I'm hoping to test more components once I gather more information.
If anyone can help clarify this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
It seems the DRAM module was deteriorating gradually, indicating a need for careful diagnosis.
