Hey Everyone, ahead of time I appreciate all of the help!
So I decided to upgrade my ram from 8gb to 16gb (mostly cause some of the games I play will push my ram to 90% usage at times)
So doing this I went out and purchased this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA8H554E0907&cm_re=PSD316G1600KH-_-9SIA8H554E0907-_-Product
Everything I always THOUGHT I knew about ram was that it was a pretty plug n play unless you had to OC it. Well this is starting to make me thing I am wrong. Ever since the upgrade my games have been crashing, have had a couple BSOD (one was irql not equal or less other was something about memmanagement didnt get to catch it intime). But yeah so I swapped my ram back to my old sticks, everything is back to working perfectly (https://www.amazon.com/PNY-1600MHz-PC3-12800-Desktop-MD8192KD3-1600-X9/dp/B0057XG7XO this is what I am currently using and what my "old" ram was)
I am just curious as to if maybe one of the new sticks is bad and memtest didnt pick it up? I ran 3 passes, all came back with 0 errors. Or if maybe there is some setting in my bios I have to change. I have done some research on here and see there is alot of advice about timings and voltage but some of the options they speak of I don't see on my BIOS (which yes has been updated).
Specs:
Operating System
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU
AMD FX-6300
Vishera 32nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) (MS-7641) (CPU1)
Graphics
8192MB ATI Radeon RX 480 Graphics (Gigabyte)
Storage
465GB Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 ATA Device (SATA)
465GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKX-003CA0 ATA Device (SATA)
Again I appreciate any help you guys can offer. Just let me know if I am missing any info needed.
