Recently, my PC seems to stop crashing unexpectedly, no matter what I'm doing. It starts up normally but freezes under light stress. I've updated drivers and BIOS, even reset the system to check, but crashes still occur around 3 minutes into Rainbow Six Siege. The errors vary each time, but most point to memory management issues. My RAM tests show no problems. Help needed—I'm stuck.
System specs: Ryzen 7 2700X, MSI B450 Tomahawk (2×8GB), Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200MHz, GTX 1060, 3GB Corsair H100i Pro AIO, 1TB Toshiba HDD, 650W 80+Bronze power supply.
Yes, it fits in slots 2 and 4. XMPP is active. Voltage is set to 1.35.
Minimal load, the problem lies with the CPU cooling. After a few minutes (when idle), RAM might fail due to speed or voltage issues. The CPU itself could simply be overheating.
I understand how to tell if it's your RAM, but there are other ways too.
memtest86 appears to indicate a memory problem. Consider raising the SOC voltage slightly, around 1.05 or 1.1.
Test each stick individually to check if the issue appears consistently. If it occurs with every stick, it's unlikely to be a RAM problem (unless all are faulty, which is rare). Enter the BIOS and confirm you're using the default settings for CPU/ram timings.
I've tested each one individually, but the issue still happened with both.
