I did some overclock tweaking the other night and I got a BSOD due to instability (3570k going up to 4.5 OC - previously 4.2...4.4...). Temps never went over 70 during load testing. Computer restarted and it won't post. I tried resettings CMOS, etc.. Tried removing all the ram but 1 stick and it works! Bios reads the single stick, and the CPU. Thought that I had a bad stick but I went through each slot and ram and they all work (just not 2+). All ram matches and was purchased as a set.
I went to purchase a new stick of RAM (1 stick of 8GB) and I can't get it to post (reset cmos with new ram, etc).
Any ideas on what to test next? Memory seems ok.. the CPU will run perfectly fine with the 1 stick of ram.. even tried playing some games but 2GB isn't going to cut it for long. I'm leaning towards mobo or PSU failure?
