Faulty RAM slots?

[Heavenswake]

I've been experiencing an issue for quite some time now and I feel it's kinda odd as it comes and goes. Every couple of months my PC will blue screen a lot, sometimes 5 times a day sometimes every other day but eventually the problem goes away for a while and I won't BSOD for a couple of months. Back when it first happened I did a memtest with both my sticks installed at the same time and it came back with errors. Cool I know my RAM is messing up so I finally decided to purchase more RAM, rather than test each still by themselves I decided to just place them both. However I still seem to be BSODing as I've already done it twice today after installing the new RAM. Which leads me to now my mobo being the problem. The first time I started BSODing my RAM was in A1 and B1, after testing them they ended up in A2 and B2. So it seems if it is the mobo all the slots are faulty. Also out of curiosity can a problem like this cause micro stuttering in games?

According to bluescreenviewer info is:

Are you using XMP profile or manual memory bios settings?

Xmp

Try manual settings: frequency, DRAM voltage, and base timings.

The Hero VI manual recommends populating A1 & B1 with two modules.

Try bumping up the DRAM voltage a notch or two, the mobo could be under volting the dimms.

Also, the age, brand, and model # of your 650w PSU?

Hello Heavenswake

You're not the first one to mention about RAM being problematic in slots A1 B1, if it runs ok with your ram in slots A2 B2 it's fine to use them there which is what I'd do.

A1/B1 and A2/B2 both BSOD my PC 😞
