Hi all, im new to the forums and looking for desperate help!!=00=
I'm hoping you can help as I now only have a few patches of hair left to pull out
Over Christmas I decided to build a new machine as follows:
Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming WIFI Intel Z370 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Intel Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR)
Inno3D GeForce GTX 1080 iChill Air Boss X4 8192MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card (C108V4-2SDN-P6DN
Antec HCG Bronze 850W 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply
Samsung 970 EVO Polaris 500GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive
Corsair ML120 Pro RGB Premium PWM Fan - 120mm
Corsair Gaming M65 PRO RGB FPS Gaming Mouse Backlit RGB LED 12000 DPI Optical White (CH-9300111-EU)
ASUS ROG Ryuo Performance AIO Liquid CPU Cooler with OLED Display -120mm
Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-OMEGA RGB Midi Tower Case - White (CC-9011141-WW)
The problem:
Windows its self seem to run fine the problem is when I go to play a game there always crashing sporadically.
For e.g
Battlefield 5 will crash with a Kernel.DLL error all the time
Shadow of the Tomb Raider will crash with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
The Sims 4 seems to run ok...Not me playing it BTW
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I have enabled XMP in the bios @ 3200mhz also loaded optimized settings
All drivers are up to date as per gigabyte website and bios is up to date.
I did watch Toms review on this board which was worrying but can this be the problem of voltages?
I have also tried setting all the voltages and timings manually to 3200mhz @ 1.35v but this wont boot, it will however at 3000 but still hangs in games.
I have now lost all sanity trying to solve the problem any help from you guys would be great
P.s the CPU runs at 50c in game on ultra and the GPU around
70-75c
P.p.s Thanks for adding me to the forum
