All 4 sticks are dead? How did you do that? Was there a power spike or something? But then I‘d imagine more components being damaged.
PC was perfectly fine a few days ago. Played today, everything was fine at first. Played a few matches of Overwatch. After match 5 the game would crash and close out. Played HD2 and same issue, after 6 minutes in game it crashed, played Arc for 10 minutes and it crashed. Run a few RAM stress tests and got several errors. Checked each ram stick and no life on them. Not to sure what caused the ram to die at the same time. Tested each ram stick individually and no signs of life on the PC. After removing and putting the ram back in, PC won't post anymore. Not to sure what to try now.
Did you test using memtest86+? The RAM stress test while running an OS is more guided for OC rather than memory errors. And no test can guarantee problem-free RAM, only that it does have problems.
Yes! When all 4 RAM sticks were in the rig. Several errors occured. Started to test them 2 at a time still errors. Started to test 1 at a time. So far 1 stick is good 3 are bad. Gonna test all 4 RAM sticks on my buddies Rig.
Remember to ground yourself intermittently.
Odd, at standard speeds right? 2133MT/s or 2400MT/s?
