New build - little niggle with screen turning itself off

No, installed the ram as left as is

Should I amend the memory multiplier to achieve 2933mhz and then the voltage to 1.3v?

Well, that's a tough one as your getting odd issues at 1233Mhz at 1.2V - which may not be memory related.

You could try setting the XMP and selcting profile 1. This will set the memory to 2933MHz - but then you may need manually set the memory to 1.35V if it stays at 1.2V (it will boot loop at that frequency and only 1.2v). You will need to adjust the voltage as soon as you've set the XMP before saving and exiting.

Or, you could leave it at 2133MHz and set the voltage to 1.35V for testing purposes. If it resolves your issues then bump up the memory to the XMP (ensuring the voltage is set to 1.35V when the frequency changes)
 
Tried profile 1 for now. Restarted and that's changed it to 2933mhz and 1.35v automatically

Will give that a whirl for a bit and see how get one.

Thanks again Plec; helped with the build and not the problem!!

Well, you should feel a slight performance boost - especially when gaming.

It may resolve your issues as the 1.2V can sometimes prove a fraction too low even at 2133MHz - sometimes requiring a 0.05V bump. So setting it to 2933MHz at 1.35V may ride roughshod over the existing problem.

But if it doesn't or you start getting cold boot issues - post back.

No worries - I thought your name looked familiar - what did you think of the Corsair Carbide Air case?

Seems to have done the trick, just had a bash on Doom where I was getting some issues and nothing.
Usually get it when first booting the PC up though so will try again over the next few days but ok for now and could see a boost in the performance

Case was brilliant and well worth the money; nice and easy to work on, looks good and plenty of room for what I have and more in future

Too early to tell conclusively - but sounds promising and gives us some other options if it does start to wobble again in the future.

It's a fantastic case - i was glad you stretched your budget but was concerned you may not have been over enamoured. Pleased to read you like it :)
 
Loving the pc. Wanted to do it on a budget but at the same time wanted a good pc. Definitely got that; it's handled 4k on everything so far

Picking up on above again, PC is playing fine now with TV but today I switched to Virgin Media from Sky - twice in last 10 minutes TV has powered off on its own but can still hear sound?! So looks like it wasn't just a PC isolated problem
