Lately, my system has been randomly crashing quite frequently. The system will freeze, and the motherboard will display q-code 8 with the orange LED on, which indicates a RAM problem.
At first, it only happened when I set my memory to 3200MHz. When I downclocked to 3066 it was to be fine for a few months. But lately, it started happening again. Yesterday, I downclocked even further to 2933MHz, but it still happens. I'll be playing a game for a few hours, and everything seems fine. Then, all of a sudden, the PC will crash.
Is there anything I can do about it? I'm using Corsair LPX memory. It's a 2x8GB kit with rated speeds of 3200MHz with CL16. I'm also running the latest BIOS (1701), with my CPU (Ryzen 5 1600) at stock speeds.
I've tried upping the SOC voltage a little bit (1.125v), but ever since I did that, Rainbow Six Siege (basically the only game I play atm) started crashing to desktop mid-game (though without Q code 8). Not even a reinstall and setting the SOC back to auto fixed it. Other games like DOOM seemingly don't do this, though.
Thanks in advance!
