Troubleshooting issues with Windows 10
Troubleshooting issues with Windows 10
I’d perform a few memory tests with Memtest and verify that your RAM is functioning correctly—this appears to be the probable issue.
I tested memtest86 on both memory sticks separately and together in dual channel. No issues found. I also ran the Windows memory diagnostic tool, which reported no errors. Since you're the third person suggesting I return it for a new kit, please continue sharing your thoughts.
