The issue I'm having is that I just put an additional 8GB of Corsair Vengeance ram in my computer, totaling 16GB. Part # CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9B
Part # for the old ram is CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9. The phsyical difference between the two is the B at the end. The old ram is black, and the new ram is blue. (Heatspreader color)
Both have same identical timings,9-10-9-27, both are 1866mhz.
The issue I've had recently is trying to play Evolve.
System is a 3770k and a Sabertooth z77 with an R9 290x(reference card).
This system is not overclocked and never has been but I'm considering trying it.
My computer will randomly shut off when playing games, here lately, Evolve. But it has happened with Diablo 3, Titanfall, and Call of Duty. It doesn't do it every game. I've tested memory, and the odd thing that is happening is Memtest 86+ says Slot 0 and Slot 2 are 1866mhz, (old ram).
Slot 1 and Slot 3 are 1066mhz. I ran the test for 5 hours without a single error. Video card has been benched with Furmark and passes highly everytime even after running for a while.
The memory, in CPUZ, old memory shows t2, and the new shows t1.
I'm curious if I need to return this memory to Newegg or if it's a different problem.
I'm sorry if this is slightly confusing but explaining a problem isn't exactly my best quality.
