These slots are not operating at the correct velocities.
I was using two sticks of 8 at 3200 RPM in slots 2 and 4. I purchased two more sticks, but the setup caused a boot loop until it only worked at 2400. I tested various speeds and voltages without success. Eventually, it ran smoothly at 3000 before crashing again. I suspected the RAM was the issue and replaced it, but the same problem persisted. I checked if my motherboard handled four sticks, but ran it in single slots without results. Then I tried each slot individually, still no improvement. I’m unsure how to proceed.
Do you have the most recent system information? Are there any performance metrics recorded for the processor?
After the crash at 2933 I chose to run it at 2400, checking its stability. It’s still running but seems sluggish, especially since I’m using a Ryzen processor. My Cinebench score dropped by 150-200 points. I’m wondering if the small performance drop is worth adding more RAM. Is this gap really noticeable in everyday tasks? Right now I’m not exceeding 16 gigabytes, but I’m planning to dive into video editing and other memory-intensive projects. Having extra RAM could make a big difference later, especially if I upgrade my graphics card. Maybe I should keep it as is for now, but I’ll be ready for smoother speeds when the time comes.
