Hi guys,
So yesterday I purchased some new Ram as an upgrade, but while gaming or during my music production using ableton Live, my PC seems to randomly restart with no BSOD. Also upon it restarting my screen will not turn back on and the only way I have managed to fix this is by removing the battery for a short while to reset everything.
The new Ram is - Corsair Vengeance 16gb(2x8gb) 1866Mhz (CMY16GX3M2A1866C10R)
I'm a total novice when it comes to Ram timings and overclocking, but I did notice the ram was only running at 1333Mhz - 9-9-9-27.... So I followed a tutorial on youtube to set my new ram to run at the advertised speed within the bios, I set it to 1866mhz - 10-11-10-30 and 1.5v as this is what is displayed on the sticks of ram. Is this the correct way to do things?
The ram I replaced is - Corsair Vengeance 8gb(2x4gb) 1600Mhz (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R) I followed the same procedure for that and never had a problem.
Also when buying the ram the guy checked that my Mobo was compatible and said it will work fine.
The Ram seems to run fine If I leave it at 1333, but surely it should run faster?
Also could I use my 8gb of 1600mhz ram to run alongside the new 16gb 1866mhz?
I have been keeping an eye on temperatures and everything seems good.
Sorry for lack of info or Ive missed anything, I'm not too tech savvy when it comes to this kinda stuff!
