So Im not an expert on RAM failures as it is the first time I've run into this type of issue. Basically I switched from an AMD CPU to a skylake, I ran windows in safe mode and redid all the drivers, windows booted up. I decided to tinker with OC a bit but I left RAM Speed at the stock speed and didnt have it OCed. It booted up and ran fine until I did some stress testing with games & etc. It gave me a blue screen and crashed. I lowered my OC settings and tried again and nothing would work. So I reset my mobo bios settings to factory default and now it wont even boot. Just a blue screen and reboot (the Auto Diagnostics it brought me to also faced a blue screen a few seconds in). I thought it might be the drivers so I booted from the windows install USB and even there it gave a blue screen and crashed before it loaded the installer.
Would it be safe to assume its a memory issue and if so is there any common issue with a fix?
By the way, heres the hardware:
Asrock Z170 Pro 4
i7 6700 (BLK OC method)
Crucial 8GB DDR4 2133 (no thermal dissipate or whatever the metal heatsink is called)
Windows 10
