I upgraded my sticks from 8GB to 16GB....
Old:
XPG AData
2 x 4GB
10-11-10-30
New:
G. SKill - F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL
2 x 8GB
10-11-10-30-2T
I had the G. Skill sticks working great for a few months. The PC started to get BSOD and complete freeze/lockups, unresponsive keyboard and mouse. It also didn't matter what I was doing, idle or in a high demanding game the results are the same. This could happen 1 time a day or it could happen 10 times. I put the old sticks back in and had 0 issues, logically I sent the new sticks back. When the RMA went through I received brand new 16GB Sticks from G. Skill. When I put them in the PC BSOD within 10 minutes.
Oddly enough 1 week later my 1TB Toshiba HDD failed, could a faulty HDD have caused these issues? I do not understand why these sticks don't work as they are compatible in every way with my setup. It's been a few hours running only on the SSD and I have not received any crashes, but its clear the old sticks had 0 issues on both.
Specs:
Asus Z97-A
Intel i7 4790
Nvidia Geforce GTX 980
1TB Toshiba HDD
250GB Samsung EVO SSD
