Replaced RAM, now it crashes only during folding attempts—everything else works normally.
Replaced RAM, now it crashes only during folding attempts—everything else works normally.
I just swapped my memory and everything looks normal. I’m able to play all my games and run benchmarks without any problems. But once I start folding, it keeps crashing every time I try to finish in under five minutes. It’s really frustrating since I’ve been working on this for three days and can’t even complete one WU. So far, only folding has caused issues—it worked perfectly before the change. I haven’t seen any other problems except with the folding process itself. Before the swap, I ran memtest86 and everything was fine. My specs are pretty standard: RAM removed (3200mhz 16GB CL16 at 2133), G.Skill Ripjaws V Series added (3600mhz 32GB CL16), Asus ROG B450 32GB, dual channel 3080. I’m not familiar with adjusting voltages or anything technical, but I’d love to keep the extra speed and capacity. It’s really helped my FPS in newer games like Outer Worlds 2. Right now I’m at work, so I can’t experiment yet. If anyone has tips for when I get home, that would be great! Thanks ahead of time.
beginners... frequently verify, unless everything is covered
I think you ran a stress test like MemTest86 or Prime95. A good next step could be re-seating your CPU, as it's possible the cooler was moved during installation.
