About 2 months ago my PC started crashing randomly when gaming. This lasted for about a week, but then disappeared for 2 months. Now it's back again and I am completely dumbfounded by it. I am getting frequent system hangs and occasional blue screens when running with dual channel memory.
I decided to run MemTest, and testing the sticks individually gave me no errors. However, running both sticks in dual channel gave me plenty of errors and I have no idea why.
It's my first build so I am relatively new to all this - if they work in single channel shouldn't they work together in dual channel like they have since I built my PC 6 months ago? Why the sudden change in reliability? Why did the problem go away for 2 months?
Things I have also tried:
- Running AV/Malware scans
- Windows Updates
- Manually adjusting RAM to recommended 2133Mhz instead of 3000Mhz
- Also worth mentioning that temps are completely fine
Should I update the BIOS? Could this be CPU related? I have no idea where to go from this, so any help would be much appreciated.
Specs:
- AsRock Z170 Extreme4
- Intel Core i5 6600k
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz
- ASUS GTX 1070 STRIX OC EDITION
- EVGA SuperNova 750 g2
