So yesterday i took out my ram and tested it in my friends pc i been trying to put it to 1600mhz in my system but it will always get unstable yes it is 1600mhz ram, i have used the odcp and put it manually the timings and voltage and everything but wont work.

So i have been running it at 1333mhz after i did put it back to my computer games and other programs gets a popup and tells me not enough ram and closes it.

I have the page file dissabled i always has it had, so thats not the problem i had never had any problems before can it be some settings in bios i forgot to put back?

i have 16gb total ram 4 x 4gb sticks and never had any problems before

When i run stress test with occt it only uses about 38% wich before used about 50% so its like when it uses more then 40-50% it thinks theres not enough ram?

i get no errors or anything when i run stress test, when i play games i get frame drops and so but no bsod.

and with cpu-z and in windows itself it does notice that i have 16gb installed as before its just as it cant use more then 40-50%

yea i think i will do that once i get home the only problem is that i have a raid 0 setup and when i reset the bios it takes away the raid setup too.

its 2 ssd's in raid 0

there is really no difference between normal and raid 0 and i want it to be in raid 0 setup becayse the ssd's is only 60gb ea so need them to be in raid0 otherwise they are so smal land you do nothing with 2 60gb stand alone ssd's

i found the sulution already it was a skin i had in rainmeter that caused it, idk if it was because of full screen or what but in all games as soon as i started it, my ram would slowly began to use up.

i justs closed that skin in rainmeter and everything was fine idk why because it has nothing to do with games or other programs.

2 x 60GB drives in RAID 0 is exactly the same drive space as 2 x 60GB drives standalone. It's just two different drive letters.
