Problems with my Rig

[Penzo]

Hi everyone, so the problem is that everytime i boot the system up, it suddenly crashes with a blue screen for a split second and then restarts again and then crashes again constantly.

The issues windows was adressing me with was that it was something to do with the "MEMORY_MANGEMENT" in which i tried to adress using these methods:

1)I used Memtest86 and at first diagnosed me with millions of errors in which i thought at first was that the RAM was faulty however after removing one of the RAM modules and tested them individualy there was no errors what so ever with the modules.

This brings me to my next conclusion in which i thought it was something to do with the RAM slots on the motherborad:

2)So i tried the using the methoed in part "1" but instead switched the RAM modules between slots "A1,A2,B1,B2" after each tests in which they all passed yet agaian.

Now after these baffling test results i decided to put the two sticks togethor and run memtest again over night. First thing next morning i went to check on its progress and there has been no errors at all with the RAM modules.

After i rebooted, the computer crashed again with the same problems "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" in which i reran Memtest86, to find a tonne of errors appearing on the screen, which it is very odd since the memtest ran overnight had appeared with no errors.

3)This time i decided to go to the BIOS to configure my DRAM settings such as bumping the volts up a notch or 2 which again failed.

After many failed attempts to log into windows i managed to log in somehow in which i made sure that everyhardware i had on my computer was fully updated with the latest drivers

as i thought this could have contributed to the problem thus i used windows diagnostic and troubleshooter to find any further problems in which "no problems where found"

4)After i ran prime95 for a few hours before finally switching the computer off before i went to bed in which the computer had not crashed or anything of that matter however the next evening back from work i turned the comp back on and GUESS WHAT it crashes again adressing me with the same problems.

I really am completely baffled. Any advice or help please ? would be very much appreciated

Have you tried using XMP to see if that solves the problem. If it does take a look at all the RAM settings and note it all down to enter in manually.

I know I've had a similar problem before then I tried XMP, which changed something else in the RAM settings that made it work.

clear cmos then try again

Thanks for the advice, however i have just tried removing the lithium cell CMOS power to clear the CMOS since the motherboard does not support a clear CMOS button. I which i tried entering the memory timings manually. But the problem still occurs.....thus my memory does not support XMP

So now i am now just going to order a new pair of RAM and hope that it solves the problem and send these back.

But im in two minds which brand i should go for. G.skill or Kingston ?

Thanks again.

I would be inclined to look at the BIOS tbh but flashing would be risky if your unstable :/

Could it be a power issue? I'm not great with PSU wattage stuff, but 2x 460s sounds like it could be quite a drain on a 650W power supply.

Try whipping one of those out and see if the problems persist.

Well, the problem did start before i installed a second gtx 460.

However, i just installed a new pair of G skill ripjaws in which the problem now is fixed therefore i conclude that the RAM was some how faulty
