Okay so this is something that ive never experienced before with my pc, my hard drives are really irritating when it comes to booting up- i get the DRam thing. And games. As soon as i get into a game, the whole pc just sort of freezes. Ill be on 1fps and the game will just slowly collapse, thing like h1z1 and battlegrounds. My pc was fine last night but its really annoying me now. Any help would be greatly appreciated as always. My cpu is an i7-950 and a gtx 970

Try taking out the one that's not being detected and plugging it into the slot where the one that is working, if you boot and windows is stable, then the stick is fine, if you don't boot, then the stick is not good

Okay so last night i played csgo just to make sure it wouldnt screw up on me. But this morning i turned my pc on, and it kept restarting saying DRAM at the boot up screen. I unplugged and plugged the hard drive cable back in and it suddenly started. But its doing this everytime i switch it off over night and turn it back on
