Hello, I own a pair of G Skill Intl F3-1866C9-8GXM 8GB and I've been having issues since a long time ago. My PC freezes and gets BS constantly when playing, I thought this could be caused by the GPU, a R9 280X, since there are a lot of problems with it, and I had it RMA. A week ago I got R9 380X and I still have the same problems. I tried everything suggested on the internet, going back to older drivers, reinstalling windows..etc. Also when I tried to overclock the CPU I always got freezes, even fi the voltage was high and the clock not so much. going back to stock settings solved this, but not the problems when playing games.
On a performance test (PassMark), my RAM scored on the 9% of the world, which is really bad, with a score of 618, when the model average is 2167, these are a pretty expensive RAM sticks and are supposed to be good.
Today I tried removing one stick and I was able to play for ~30min without problems. Then I put both sticks and I the PC freezed in 5min.
I've ran the windows memory diagnostic tool, and got no errors, no errors in memtest86 either, could this be a bad stick? A bad DDR3 Slot? The whole motherboard not working properly?
Edit: The sticks where placed on slots 1 and 4, I changed it to 1 and 3, where it's supposed to run dual-channel(B). No crashes for 15min so far.
