Hey everyone, was hoping to get a resolution on a problem with a new build I was having.

I'm using 32gb of DDR4 RAM: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231941

And an AsRock Z270 mobo: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157746

The RAM defaults to 2133mhz on my first startup, and works great like that. When I change it over to it's rated speed of 3200mhz and start up a game, my display driver starts crashing like crazy after ~10 minutes of play. I've ran memtest on all 4 sticks for at least 1 pass each, I'm just no longer sure that's the problem. I was hoping maybe someone had run into this problem before. Please let me know if I can provide more information. Thank you!
 
Solution
At 3200 MHz, overclocking is required.

First, try raising DRAM Voltage a tad.

If still no good, then the CPU may have to be overclocked by raising CPU frequency and possibly CPU core voltage as well.

try-- invidia control panel / 3d settings / Adjust image settings with preview / Select - use my preferences emphasizing. Leave slider at quality if you like. Apply. This works with default install settings. May also work good with other previous settings changes.
