PC not starting after prolonged use.
In the last week I bought and fitted another 2x8GB of RAM into my machine. After more than two hours the PC went dark, when I tried to power it back on fans started and a blank screen appeared. The EZ DeBug light indicated a CPU issue. To stop it, I had to press the power button, wait a few seconds, then restart and reboot into Windows 10. I’ve been running a constant overclock of 4.2 GHz @ 1.45V since February, using the same model RAM I bought in that month. I didn’t encounter this problem until after installing the new sticks. They’re identical to the ones I got in February, except I bought them last weekend so I could reach a total of 32GB. I set them to 3200MHz CAS with voltages of 16-18-18-36 at 1.35V. Please let me know if you need any details or screenshots from Hardware Info or CPU-z. Thank you for your assistance!
Turn off all overclocks and attempt to boot again. If issues continue, run Memtest86 to check for memory errors.
Discovered my RAM modules came in different types—one with Samsung Dies and another with SK Hynix Dies. This led to system issues and crashes. I think I missed updating the thread some time ago.
