Identifying RAM issues - occurrence and crashes
Identifying RAM issues - occurrence and crashes
The system restore didn’t succeed, so I’m considering another option. I refreshed the chipset drivers once more. For context, my Radeon Software manager mentioned Rainbow Six Siege launched on July 26th, 2020 with an average of 132 FPS. Based on Radeon data, CSGO currently averages 93 FPS.
Yes, it was the reset that didn’t succeed, not the sfc/scannow choice. There was an issue preventing the process from completing.
The system's Restore Point failed to finish. I'm not confident about my actions. It took 30 minutes before the screens went dark; I waited 10 minutes afterward, with lights still on and fans operating. At that stage, I pressed the power button. Running sfc /scannow is now at 70%.
Scan completed successfully. No integrity issues detected. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> sfc /scannow Initiated system check. The process is underway and will require time. All verification steps finished with 100% accuracy. Windows Resource Protection confirmed no violations.
This situation is odd, particularly if your system remains slow as you mentioned (you haven’t used a 144 hz monitor that just restarted, which might explain the lag). If you’re encountering black screens and crashes without BSODs, it likely points to a graphics card or driver problem. Even after resetting everything, removing extra RAM, and checking for issues, I’m running out of options except for a potential graphics-related fix. I’d suggest trying a reset again this time and letting it run longer. It would be problematic if you needed a full factory reset just because of this strange issue. If you have time, look for help elsewhere. As a final resort, consider backing up important data to an external drive or USB and reinstalling, though I’m sure it can be resolved. PS: Did you replace the new memory and return the old one to its original slots? That’s another possibility.
The original data hasn't been changed; only another BSOD page fault appears. I'm attempting a final restore by playing a movie and letting it finish. If it fails before the film ends, I'll perform a complete factory reset.
Consider resetting the whole system with the added RAM installed. Check the compatibility guide for the MB model to confirm support.
The page fault error seems linked to an incomplete recent reset, possibly due to a faulty update or an incompatible driver. It could also indicate a problem with your RAM, though using outdated RAM is unusual unless something disrupted your existing RAM or slots.
