I've just put my PC back together and pulled one stick of RAM as it seems to not boot with it in and now I keep getting Page not found in pagearea or something like that. Only happens when I try to boot up demanding games, GTAV etc.

Would this be due to not having enough ram? Now only 4GB

Now I put the other 4GB back in, in a different slot, booted loaded up black ops 3 and BAM!! Red screen and had to hard rest.

I've also just crossfired the system, could it be pulling too much power and causing a melt down?

Do you have pagefile disabled? Also 4gb isn't really enough to be playing big games with. You may get away with your smaller games like mobas etc which arn't exactly demanding. But CoD lol no chance.

you need 8gb minimum, and check to see if you have pagefile disabled.

I would run with one card and see, then swap them if everything ok.

I've got 8gb, that's when I tried to run cod. I haven't intentionally disabled it, would it do it itself?

They run fine on their own :/

I'm going to do more testing today, got bored then went out!
