Ever since I had to rebuild the boot store on windows 10 the CPU just stops processing if I'm not giving is some kind of input. I couldn't boot and god message that BCD file was corrupted. I was finely able to fix it by rebuilding the boot store but it is when I was running another OS to check my hard drive I started noticing this problem and it has been happening ever since. Also the display driver keep shutting down & restarting do you think it is related to this? Radeon: 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 Series. Crimson 16.6.2 installed and now updating to 16.7.2. ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard.

Thanks if you can help

If you have never overclocked or changed the RAM timings or voltage manually then the system should be using "optimal defaults" and unless you have a faulty memory stick you should be fine. By default the system will run your RAM @ 1.5V (standard and fine unless overclocking) and will usually loosen your RAM timings for greater stability. Its only when we manually tighten the timings and overclock the RAM that the RAM voltage and timings become a problem. I would suggest checking your RAM one stick at a time using memcheck to ensure both sticks are good.

I would also check for corrupted system files by running system file checker. Launch an elevated command prompt (right click on the windows icon at the bottom left of the screen...

I've found it seems to be an issue with ram timing. I have 16gb (4x4 dual) crucial ballistix BLE4G3D1869DE1TX0. I read somewhere in these forums that increasing DRAM voltage and something else, CPU/NB voltage or frequency? Would help but I can't find the thread again.

Ram timing is a water I never tread. Sorry, can't help ya there. Hope someone comes along who can though:)

Launch an elevated command prompt (right click on the windows icon at the bottom left of the screen and run command prompt as administrator). Then enter sfc /scannow. If it finds errors it can't fix or otherwise doesn't fix your issue you may have to do a clean install of Windows 10.
