So I more or less built a new PC around a year ago and two issues seem to have come out. The first has been there since the beginning and the second appeared over the last few months.
Basic spec.
Issue 1 - Ram detected does nto match ram installed.
Any suggestions on narrowing down what may be causing the issue or any other thoughts most welcome.
Basic spec.
- Gigabyte Aorus x299 Gaming 3 / Gaming Pro (see below)
- Intel i7-7800X
- 4x 8GB Trident Z RGB 2400Mhz Ram (on gigabytes motherboard HCL)
- Gigabyte 1080 Ti Waterforce
- 2x Samsung 860 1TB NVME
- 2x WD Black 2TB HDD (striped)
- Motherboard water block. CPU / MB and GPU all watercooled. Water temp at load is around 10 DegC above ambient (so around 42DegC).
Issue 1 - Ram detected does nto match ram installed.
- Windows detects 24GB
- HWiNfo detects 32GB but one stick has no data for voltages etc. Reports tripple channel ram.
- Swapping ram sticks to other positions makes no difference.
- Changed the MB but the same issue was still there.
- I have now removed one stick (24GB installed and detected).
- These changes have made no differece to issue 2.
Issue 2 - TC The Division is now crashing to desktop after stuttering and going to windowed mode (takes around 2 seconds then boom back to desktop). It does not only happen during action.- I have gone through a set of troubleshooting with UBISoft and it seemed to be fixed for a short time (vcredist uninstalls) but it has come back.
- Crashes occue with DX12 turned on and off in the game.
- I have now cleared and completely reinstalled a fresh recent version of Win10 (Oct2018 ISO) and patched up. The Division is the only game on the system and still I have crash to desktop happening. Nvidia drivers are the latest. I get stutters in the game (4k pretty much Ultra settings) now and then.
- Had HWiNfo logging (2 sec intervals) when playing this time. Didn't see anything obvious but not sure what to be looking for.
Thoughts are
Other games before the PC OS rebuild had no issues inc DayZ, Fallout 4 / Skyrim & Cities Skylines.- Ram issues
- GPU issues
- Power issues
Any suggestions on narrowing down what may be causing the issue or any other thoughts most welcome.
