After running this new build with no problems for a couple weeks, I started getting a problem.
When running a memory intensive game, my PC will just shut off completely and flicker trying to turn itself back on. After checking cpu/gpu temps and power consumption and found nothing, I attempted testing the RAM sticks and slots, did one at a time and while running a single 16GB module, no problems, every slot tested and working with only 1 module. Once I put another 16GB it will shut down when the memory starts being utilized. Could there be a lack of power to the RAM? Before this happened I had the house power flicker, but the PC is on an APC power backup protector and the PC still powers on so I figured it was still ok, but not sure if I should try to get a new PSU or what else to try. Both RAM modules work 100% and each memory slot works 100% but not with both 16GB sticks in and pushed.
Any suggestions would be great before I start wasting money on something I don't need. Thanks all for reading.
