Computer crash

A friends computer bluescreened recehtly and is on my study floor as a to do item. He is a keen photographer and has thousands of pictures as well as as apps like photoshop customised to his needs.

I have been in with a linux live distro, mint, and copied all image files to another drive however losing the apps and having to reinstall everything will be a pain. Next time i swear he will have a system restore point set up at the vrry least.

Could the problem be the RAM is XMP only as this is aimed at Intel systems? (i know some boards can use XMP & EXPO)

I think there is some truth to this in regards to using 64gb or more at cl30. Expo seems extra expensive and rare here.

Maybe run your memory with a +2 on your major timings for now and test thoroughly when set up. CL30 xmp&expo certified at 64gb motherboard compatibility lists vary. Mine are xmp only aswell at cl32 6400and I'm running them at cl30 36 36 at 6000 in 1 to 1 mode, they fail at lower timings.

It crashed again in the same way; started with the mouse pointer staggering, then complete freeze.
On hard resetting, it would take extra long to post. I can still get back into windows so long as only one monitor
is plugged in by HMDI.

Thanks for your suggestion. I don't really understand much about RAM so I cannot immediately grasp what you are suggesting, but I will look into it.
 
I would run a memory test as errors can lead to corruption.

Testmem5 with the Anita extreme profile or Prime95 large FTT should let u know if there is an issue.

If they error or crash then remove one stick and try each at a time with the same tests
