I purchased a CyberPowerPC several months ago and have noticed this issue for most of that time.
I have the ASUS P9X79 notherboard, 8 ram slots each with a 2gb Cosair Dominator I believe, totaling for 16gb ram.
Usually, within the first hour or two of my PC running, it'll BSOD and come back up only reading 14gb ram. At this point, it
can remain stable for days or weeks. On rarer occasions, it will BSOD again and come up reading 12gb ram. It has
never got BSOD when reading 12gb ram. Then on super rare occasions, it can run for days reading all 16gb ram.
I usually always just sleep my PC overnight, and stick with 12/14gb ram its reading most of the time. If I shut it down
overnight, usually the next morning it comes up with 16gb ram, and the process repeats. If I shut down and turn on
a few minutes later however, it will only read what it previously was reading (12gb or 14gb)- Except when I shut down, open
the case, and give each ram stick a good push. Powering on after that, it'll read all 16gb, and repeat the BSOD
process.
I have tried switching the slots each stick is in, and still experience the same issue. I have tried running a couple
memtests when all 16gb were being read, and sometimes, the computer will completely freeze before 1 cycle completes.
Other times, multiple cycles will complete over the course of a whole day with no errors reported.
I'm at a loss on what is going on here. Each ram stick is seated tightly and fully clicked in. I've made sure they
were sitting in tightly, but like I mentioned above, I find it strange if I do a shut down, quickly give the ram a
push [which is already sitting tightly and feels like my push is doing nothing], power on, and all 16gb are read. Memtest will report no issues if it doesnt freeze before the 1st cycle is complete.
Anyone have any ideas on where the issue might exist?
