Strange Crashing

stufflol · 8 Aug 2014 at 18:40

hello all - spec in sig,

lately I have had an issue with my new system, on occasions as far as I have noticed when I am on facebook/twitch tv my cursor becomes rly laggy and then my screen totally freezes. Only way to get out of it is holding down the power button on my computer, it was OC'd to 4.2ghz but I just removed the OC now to eliminate it.

Anyone have any idea what this might be?

Yep spec in sig, so you saying remove a stick of ram and see if I have an issue then? or should I wait and see if it happens since i removed the OC? then try the steps you mentioned?

@ RJC I dont know yet, I will have to wait and see if it happens again, noticed it first when I had CS:GO minimized and was watching a twitch stream.

Im such a noob, cant see how I can change the voltage of the ram but in the bios it says "dram voltage 1.65" I am unable to edit this...

Any help with this greatly appreciated, ps when I set up the system I changed the ram speed from 1600mhz to 2400

When I OC'd the ram to 2400 (from the standard 1333 it was set to when I installed it) I didnt change the timings etc... I read that I needed to change the OC profile to XMP which I didint do, could this be the cause?
