BSOD while turning on deep stranded lol
New build need help
- Thread starter Kevin Matthews
- Start date
Might be time to test your memory thoroughly:
Run Memtest HCI (leave to own devices once it's running) - Memtest.
Read the instructions - run to 400% (explained in instructions - watch for first 20 minutes, if it doesn't freeze, as 'may' give off errors very quickly if it's the problem)
*Additional - before you do anything what is your memory set at?
Well in cpu-z its 1699.6 dual, but i had to enable xmp in bios for it to run at that.
What memory did you buy?
From what was specced your memory should be running reading 1600 in CPU-z (i.e. DDR 2 x 1600 = 3200MHz).
We may have found the problem, depending on your reply.
@Plec dunno about you, but to me it seems time to throw in the towel and get @Kevin Matthews to RMA the 5700XT for a 2070 super?
5700XT seems to have too many teething issues to recommend at the moment :/

/slaps @Kevin Matthews round the head with a SATA cableKevin Matthews said:
Well, is was a glimmer of hope while it lasted - did you do the memory test?
Well, it has had similarities to TNS's thread and it worked for him along with the V19 BIOS upgrade (but different board).
What BIOS are you on @Kevin Matthews - i've lost track...
Yeah since latest driver and bios update I've had issues lol im on latest bios v18 and GPU is 19.7.5
tns swapped to a 2070super midway though. but yes, different mobo (still MSI) though. so problem may well be the BIOS
Yeah, every chance given the speed in which they're chucking them out.
@Kevin Matthews - is yours the card with coil whine? If so you have a valid reason for return if you wanted to try this (although TNS manage to swap his out with zero issues - @tamzzy? - not sure they even questioned it?)
@Kevin Matthews - don't suppose you have a spare GPU and also could you drop your memory to 2993MHz and run this for a couple of days while you decide. And keep an eye out for BIOS/Driver updates...
His had graphics corruption
Yeah have coil whine when opening games, dont have a spare unfortunately, and I've dropped my memory as suggested. How do you contact RMA if i do decide to go down that road? Not like i want to lol.
Also while trying run mem test saying at start could not allocate?
Via the Customer Services Forum.
But, given your understandable reluctance, have a play with the memory dropped to 2993MHz for a day or two - see if things improve (i.e. no errors at all). There may even be another BIOS/Driver release during this time - which you will definitely be trying if released.
Bump your memory back up to 3200MHz for testing.
^^^ Old faithful - and let it run for a few passes (i used to run it overnight if i had memory concerns)
Remember to test only the memory available (check within task manager - performance tab) and then don't run anything else in background.
nah. CBA. gonna send RMA the 3700x for a replacement. journey has offered to let me try his 2200g on weds...so we'll know by then. and hopefully get the build running by next monday (as planned)
@Journey, offers this a lot - even to unknown members - generous considering his job commitments and relatively brave considering the ratio of f'wits to norms in today's society. Is he aware that you're a high functioning sociopath with a penchant for spanking visitors backsides as a formal greeting?
Glad to read you have a definitive way of proving the component (I was genuinely gutted for you yesterday- even my daughter said "oh no - not Tammy!" Yep, that's how she pronounces your name.) - hopefully you'll be up and running by Monday - and as you say, still on your original timeline.
