Have trouble accessing RAM but encounter issues with the taskbar and other functions once you reach a specific location.
Have trouble accessing RAM but encounter issues with the taskbar and other functions once you reach a specific location.
You're experiencing issues when pushing your RAM to higher speeds, especially around 2800MHz or above. The taskbar and some system elements stop responding, leaving only desktop icons and lighting working. Your setup includes an i7-9700K, GTX 1060, 16GB RAM, and 5.1GHz OC.
There might be a compatibility issue with your motherboard or BIOS settings. Try these steps:
- Check if your RAM is properly seated and matches the specifications.
- Update your BIOS to the latest version.
- Disable any overclocking software temporarily to see if it resolves the problem.
- Ensure your power supply can handle higher speeds.
- If possible, test with a different RAM module to rule out faulty components.
Let me know if you'd like help checking compatibility or troubleshooting further!
Consider boosting the RAM voltage to enhance stability, or alternatively, accept a reduced clock speed for better reliability.
Seek 1.35V or below for RAM, as overclocking varies by model; 1.5V is the upper limit for DDR4, but it shouldn’t be used regularly.
