I was originally using a (2x4GB) 1333mhz Samsung RAM. Recently, I switch to a new pair of RAM (2x4GB) 1600mhz Apotop RAM. My motherboard does support 1600mhz RAM (I will list my system below). Then, I experience this strange problem. When I'm playing games, I will get 1 of these 2 problems after playing for a while. First problem, the game will just crash (game has stop working error). Second problem, the game will freeze; if I Alt-tab and get back to the game, the game will resume. However, the fps drop to half (from 60fps to 30fps). it like my system can't handle the game. When I open the game menu the fps goes back to 60fps, but when I close the menu and continue the game, it goes down to 30fps. Right now, I set my new pair of RAM (the Apotop) to 1333mhz, instead of its original 1600mhz in the Bios, and the system runs fine, no more problem with games. Anyone know what is the problem here? I really want to use the full 1600mhz. Thanks.
