Frequent system crashes, trouble identifying problems
Frequent system crashes, trouble identifying problems
You're seeing the same issue on both RAM sticks, which suggests they might be defective together.
All drivers are current, CPU temps are normal and within acceptable ranges, I only use the built-in antivirus from Windows, the pagefile is enabled on all drives. I’m not sure what’s going on anymore, but thank you for your assistance.
It seems the current approach to handling their setup isn't ideal, likely because both components are faulty. Have you checked if the board's BIOS is up to date? Update it and retry. If that fails, switch to a different RAM module—different brands often work together. Most boards should fit most RAM types, but modern systems sometimes face issues with mismatched configurations. With today’s high memory capacities and speeds, these problems are increasingly frequent.
The BIOS has been updated recently, but I’m not able to replace the RAM at the moment since I need a new one to try it out.
Lowering RAM speed to 4800 remains an issue, even without XMP support. If it doesn’t stop crashing, attempt using XMP at a higher speed such as 5600MHz. Keep in mind that hardware limitations may prevent full performance at the recommended rates.
It's currently at 4800 as shown in the screenshots and logs. @kiron The crashes seem to stem from memory issues. Windows moves low-priority RAM data into the page file and retrieves it when needed, making storage appear like memory (and vice versa). The memory controller is part of the CPU, so a failure there would cause this behavior. In your situation, one crash appears random—finding a page fault in random data—while another was during memory compression. At this point, it could be any of these scenarios. If you have additional dump files, they could help clarify whether it's related to storage or RAM/CPU.
Thanks to everyone’s support, I’ve finally identified the issue. It turned out the DANG CPU was the culprit—my RAM worked fine when swapped into another system, so it had to be the CPU or motherboard. I tried a compatible CPU and it fixed everything. Now I can stop worrying about those frustrations and look forward to Intel’s warranty.
