G.Skill F4-3200C16D-8GVKB memtest86 error

crivaltronco · Aug 16, 2018

I just build up my first computer last tuesday but I keep getting random window crashes. I used memtest86 and there were error results. During the testing I was using 2 rams in dual channel mode.

This is my setup.

Ryzen 2200G @ 3.5
B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
F4-3200C16D-8GVKB @ 2933
1TB WD Caviar Blue
250GB WD BLACK NVME SSD (2018)

Go into the BIOS, disable the XMP or AMP profile, and run the memory at the default auto configuration. That should be practically everything on auto in the memory configuration and the memory speed should be 2133mhz.

Then, run Memtest86 again for two passes.

If it completes both passes with no errors, then enable the settings you currently have again and try increasing the memory (DRAM) voltage by .005v incrementally, retesting with each voltage increase until it passes Memtest for two passes. Do not exceed 1.4v on the DRAM voltage.

What is the current FULL memory configuration?

Timings, voltage, settings, etc?

Also, you might want to make sure that the memory boot configuration is not set to Fast boot or something similar. Disable fast boot for memory (Not fast boot for OS loading, they are different) if you have that setting. Often, changes won't get implemented if fast boot is enabled so you only want that setting enabled once your configuration is solid.

You want to Memtest at the default memory speed and voltage, because unless something is wrong physically with the memory or the memory controller just plain doesn't like those sticks, you should always be able to pass Memtest at the default configuration and can eliminate the possibility of it being bad sticks this way. If it will pass, then the problem is likely configuration of voltage, timings, speed, etc. rather than bad or incompatible memory. Might also simply not like the IC's on those modules at higher speeds.

Thank you for the detailed answer! I'll do this when I get home after work.

My current FULL memory configuration is:
1.35v
29XXmhz something
the rest are default setting.

Ok, so if your motherboard bios settings allow it, after testing at the stock default settings of 2133mhz and probably, I'd recommend trying 1.25v even though the SPD JEDEC voltage specification for those modules at 2133mhz is 1.2v, using Memtest, then if they pass try them at 3000mhz but use a 1.36v setting. If that still gives errors, try 1.365v, and so on.

Before you do ANY of that though, make sure you have the VERY latest BIOS version installed from the motherboard product page. VERY OFTEN a bios update is all that is needed on Ryzen for immediate and noticeable improvements in the area of memory model and speed compatibility.

Thank You for the very in depth explanation and patience for a newbie like me. Much appreciated!

Of course. Always glad to help.
