Hello good duders,
So I have been upgrading my PC lately to get something to last me quite a few years as far as gaming goes.
Here is my current set up:
Motherboard: MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3
Storage: Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB HDD 64MB Cache + Samsung 830 128GB SSD
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell Quad-Core 4.0GHz
Case: R4 Fractal Silent
PSU: XFX TS Series P1550SXXB9 550W
OS: Windows 8.1
I upgraded my motherboard, GPU, and CPU all within the last few months and everything has been working fine, but yesterday I upgraded my RAM to that new HyperX stuff and now my computer is having some issues. I run into bluescreens somewhat often now, and the error is always "WHEA Uncorrectable Error". What do you guys think could be causing that? Could seating the ram incorrectly cause that? The ram appears to be installed correctly, and it reads out right in DXDIAG but I can always make mistakes. Is it possible a 550W PSU is not enough for everything I have now?
I have a couple things I want to try... I want to reset my BIOS, but something changes and now my mechanical keyboard won't power up until I get to the Windows 8.1 sign in screen, so I can't even access the bios screen.. So I guess I want to unhook that lithium ion battery and see if that fixes anything.
I also want to put back in my old RAM and see if that fixes the issue (logically it should, but I want to be sure).. Say putting the old ram back into my computer does fix the issue, do you think that would mean my PSU can't handle the RAM upgrade (is that even a thing?) or that maybe the RAM arrived DOA to some extent.
Anyhow, please advise me.
Thanks duders!
