overclocking and ram aren't functioning properly
overclocking and ram aren't functioning properly
So I'm a first-time builder, everything seems fine until I keep getting random BSODs. I think it might be a RAM issue, but both RAMs work individually. I tried swapping the DIMM slots and it worked, but now it's not in dual-channel mode. So I just manage it. Then I tried overclocking, but the BIOS says it can't because it's default again—probably because it's not safe. I'm confused about whether my RAM, motherboard, or CPU is broken since both RAM and CPU won't overclock. Do I need to update the BIOS or should I just ask for replacements? Or am I completely lost? Thanks.
Keep updating the BIOS, particularly when using gaming mode, since they receive frequent updates. Also, start with one RAM module for your BIOS setup, then add the second later. You might need to slightly reduce its speed to make it function properly. Additionally, ensure you can save other configurations in case the CMOS battery dies.
