Question Are crashes only occurring during gameplay?
Hi guys, every time I play a game it crashes. I ran the cinebench test for the CPU and everything looks fine, the heaven benchmark test for the GPU also shows no issues... I did the memtest86 for the RAM and found many errors. Does this mean I should just replace the RAM and the old ones are useless?
Typically it's PSU but you won't be sure until you provide complete details about the crash. Are you experiencing a random restart, freezing, or a blue screen with an error code?
MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WIFI I7 13th gen 13700k
MSI GEFORCE RTX 4080
G.Skill Ripjaws S5, DDR5-6000 2x16GB
MSI MPG AB50G PCIE5 PSU
NOCTUA NH-D15 CHROMAX BLACK
6X CROASAIR FAN LL120
FRACTAL meshify 2 CASE
I own all these components.
I purchased them nine months ago from the official seller.
MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WIFI i7 13th gen 13700k paired with MSI GEFORCE RTX 4080, G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 2x16GB RAM, MSI MPG AB50G PCIE5 power supply, NOCTUA NH-D15 CHROMAX BLACK case, and 6x CROASAIR FAN LL120. The setup runs smoothly, with all components functioning well and the system performing consistently for over nine months.
Check the event log.
Run a malware scan on the system.
Monitor CPU and GPU temperatures while playing.
Track RAM and SSD usage.
There should be no more than zero mistakes. Confirm RAM is placed in slots a2 through b2. Re-seat CPU and RAM, then perform a memtest again. Should there still be errors, contact RMA for the RAM.
Yeah the mem test ended after 1000 errors. The RAM is in the correct slots. I plan to check later when I'm home for a second test after reseating. But it wouldn't be strange? The PC ran smoothly for nine months without any issues. Didn't even open my case or move it.
