Gameplay stops unexpectedly just a short time ago?
Hello Everyone,
This problem has just started. Whenever I play a game for a short time, my game crashes immediately. The event viewer always shows a different error code.
I've replaced the power supply, my PC components aren't overheating, and I reinstalled Windows with a clean installation. All drivers are up to date.
I'm not sure what to do anymore. I've attached two photos showing the system before my last crash during a stress test. Any advice or assistance would be very helpful.

My previous two error codes were

The permission settings for the application do not allow Local Activation for the COM Server application with the specified CLSID and APPID to the given user SID from the LocalHost address using LRPC in the application container.

This article discusses a potential issue with RAM modules, suggesting they might be faulty. It recommends using memtest86 to verify this. The guide provides instructions for installation and usage, emphasizing that at least one full pass (15 tests) is necessary, with more passes improving accuracy. Running it overnight is advised due to its duration. The text also mentions the importance of checking for errors and replacing the RAM if needed. It highlights that 4 full passes are generally sufficient, though some recommend 32 passes for thorough testing. Additionally, it advises performing an AV scan using tools like MalwareBytes for further security checks.
Hey, thanks for reaching out. I downloaded memtest and found that there aren’t many real options—it only gives me a test result with 4 passes. Right now I’m at the 8th hour in, with the third pass at 91% completion. The first two passes had no errors. I ran the same test last night but when I woke up the PC was reset and I couldn’t find any results.
How can I run more than 4 passes?
I have 64GB of RAM. Do you think removing two sticks and testing them one by one, while swapping them around, could help identify a defective stick?
I’ve done virus scans on my PC a few times and nothing came up.
I also ran an 850 seasonic for this build without any problems. I assumed the issue was with my PSU, so I bought a new Seasonic USA FOCUS V4 GX-1000 1000 Watt 80 Plus Gold. My old PSU was identical, just 850W.
I’m really confused—if it’s not my RAM, I’m back to square one and don’t know what’s going on.
Appreciate your help.
I don't believe it's a PSU problem because both units look good quality.
Also, I own a Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium [SSR-650TD] PSU.
I actually have another one: Seasonic PRIME TX-650 [SSR-650TR] which is powering my second build.
The third one (for my old build) is also Seasonic: Focus PX-550 [SSR-550PX].
I haven't used memtest86 for a while (it was last around 2012) but if I recall right, once you start it, it will keep running until you stop it manually.
Maybe there was a main power outage that cut the power to the PC, so I reset the system and stopped the test.
A good UPS would help with main power grid problems.
It's best to check each PSU separately.
64 GB means 4x 16 GB? If yes, did the RAM come in a single package? Or were all DIMMs packed together in one sealed box? Or did you purchase two sets of two? Or four individual DIMMs?
