Problems when increasing ram speed
Problems when increasing ram speed
Hey guys, I’ve been facing a really bothersome problem with my computer. No matter what I try—turning on XMP or overclocking the RAM—I always end up getting blue screens right after the post-screen. It’s frustrating and I’m not sure what to do next. At first, I thought it was a hardware issue, so I swapped out two motherboards, replaced my RAM, and even updated my GPU. But whenever I run the RAM timings at their advertised speeds, Windows still crashes as soon as it loads. I also know that Intel supports up to 2666MHz for my CPU, but I’ve seen many people overclocking their RAM without matching their CPU speeds. My PC specs are:
I5 9600k
MSI Z390 A-Pro
G. Skill TridentZ RGB 3200mhz (cl16)
RTX 3070
I’m still new to this stuff, so if it’s something simple I should know, I’m sorry.
Are your RAM modules placed in the appropriate ports? For instance, A1 B1 and A2 B2. You should aim for the slots labeled B1 and B2, though manuals may vary slightly. Incorrect placement can lead to stability problems and may affect overclocking performance if it functions.
Are your RAM modules placed in the appropriate ports? For instance, A1 B1 and A2 B2. You should aim for the sticks in B1 and B2, though your guide might describe it slightly differently. Using the wrong slots may lead to stability problems, and if it works, you might need to raise the voltage a bit—avoid exceeding 1.4v on Intel RAM.
