The system I built two weeks ago started acting weird a few days ago, culminating today in it shutting down and staying down. After a LOT of trouble-shooting and a conversation with the EVGA guys, here is what I was told:
The 16g of F3-2133 Ripjaws that I have is too much for my stock 3820. To use that ram, my cpu should really be oc'd.
I swapped out the ripjaws for some old Samsung ram I had lying around and everything is working again ... so it would "appear" to be the issue ... but I thought I'd check in with the crew here to see if you guys concur. Does that comment sound correct?
Also, if I do want to add better ram to my stock 3820 ... what is the best I can add without running into this issue again?
My system is a stock 3820 on an evga x79sli mobo.
Thanks in advance
