• RAM conflicting with motherboard
    6 replies, posted
Basically when I play games it often freezes. Sometimes I can play for hours and then the computer will freeze but sometimes I can play for 5 minutes and it will freeze. I presume its the Ram and motherboard conflicting because someone else had the same problem and they diagnosed this. What I am lacking is a solution. I've tried new RAM and nothing changed. I'm not keen on changing the motherboard because it's a big hassle. Suggestions?
Use this to test the ram. [url]http://www.memtest86.com/[/url] Post load temps. [url]http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor/versions-history.html[/url] Post Specs. [url]http://www.piriform.com/speccy[/url]
Musn't be the RAM. As Thor667 suggested, use memtest86 and run it for a few hours. If there are no errors popping up, it can be everything. But since it freezes your PC in Games, it could also be the CPU or GFXCard. Testing CPU: Stress it with e.g. [url=http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Hyper-PI.shtml]Hyper Pi[/url] Testing GPU: Stress it with other stuff like FurMark and watch especially the temperature of your GPU (Used GPUz for it).
It's not my GPU because I've replaced it previously and I doubt its the CPU but I'll give everything a go. I don't think heats the issue because my GPU runs fine sometimes at high heat when I forget to turn the fan up and my CPU runs nicely at 35-40 degrees. Under load the CPU is around 33-37 degrees with fan @ 1350rpm and GPU is around 55 degrees with fan @ 50%. [IMG]http://img153.imageshack.us/f/malakies.jpg[/IMG] Here are my specs. My ram says its @ 400mhz and it should be 800mhz. I have no idea why its doing this. [IMG]http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3646/malakies.jpg[/IMG]
Bump
Your ram is dual channel, so you double what it says. 2x400 = 800. So there's your 800mhz :smile:
Ahh right lol
