So a quick recap as I had a post a couple months ago, and an awesome dude helped me through a lot of it, I just want to see if I can't get through this final stretch, if I could once again ask for assistance-
Rig-
CPU- AMD FX 9590
GFX Card- Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 Ti
RAM- 16 GB DDR3
MOBO- Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
OS- Windows 7 64Bit
PSU- Cooler Master V1000 (1000W)
Problem-
Freezes for NO reason whatsoever and at random intervals, mostly (As of right now) during gameplay, seems to be an issue for slightly intensive games as doesn't seem to be a problem for other games.
I got a lot of help narrowing down the problems, going through the troubleshooting, drivers, temps, etc etc. Finally got somewhere with Memtest and Prime95's Blend mode (RAM intensive) and have narrowed it down to being RAM related.
I couldn't afford new RAM so I switched the RAM slots in vain hope it might negate the issue (And to be fair it seemed to work, havent had an issue in months) but it cropped up again recently, and I finally had enough money to go ahead and grab another set of RAM, thus I have installed the new and removed the old. I have not played any games yet (Obviously I will) but as a precaution I ran both Memtest and Prime95 again to test the issue. And it seems literally nothing has changed, PC BSODs with Memtest after a little over an hour testing the RAM and Prime95 once again can't get through testing Blend for more than it's second test.
I'm kind of curious as to what this could mean really. The RAM is brand new, though I know it's not unheard of to get faulty RAM twice in a row, I feel that its kind of a stretch. Is it possible the slots are all bad??? If so why is it so random and why is it ALL of the slots XD. Any way to fix it? Or should I just be thinking of trying a new MOBO T_T
