With the bad kit I would honestly see some other odd behavior. For instance, Chrome once failed to render a random page, displaying a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error. Refreshing the same page worked, which was highly suggestive of a memory reliability issue (in software engineering terms, the...

I have four machines with NVIDIA GPUs here, one of which contains a 3090 (others have older cards). I rolled back the drivers on all of them, however. I'd rather wait for a stable set of drivers.

Hello everyone, I thought I would post an update regarding my situation. As I said, I was able to identify the offending kit (I have two Corsair CMK64GX4M2E3200C16 v3.40 kits, 2x32GB sticks in each kit) by testing each kit separately and changing DIMM positions in order to rule out a...

Something in this driver release is broken. Immediately after installing this version, one of my machines (two GTX TITANs in SLI) started exhibiting DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSODs. After seeing three of these BSODs in the hour that followed the installation of this version (all ocurring during...

Failed in what way? Could you elaborate? What did you do to fix? I have a TUF-RTX3090-O24G and I’m somewhat concerned with applying this. By the way, my card has a dual BIOS design (P and Q BIOSes). Does anybody know whether these have to be flashed separately or the update procedure updates...

This thread had been without activity for five months before I added my reply, which was on the same issue (in the meantime, OP had his issue resolved). I didn't think it was a problem. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I already suspected a storage issue, and ruled it out. I have three drives, two NVMe drives and one SATA SSD. Corruption happens when installing content to any of them. No, different controllers.

I stand corrected. Thanks for clarifying this. I am aware that my choice of configuration complicates things, no doubt about that. I had no other choice of configuration to achieve that amount of RAM though. The Hammer Test is the only test that could iron out that defective RAM module (or...

Did you run MemTest86 (not the MemTest86+) and if you did – did you run the Hammer Test? My faulty kit would otherwise pass all other tests but this one. Which is why I said "apart from setting frequency, voltage and timings through XMP, DOCP and the like". After frequency, voltage and timings...

To the best of my knowledge, the interface between these components should not be specific to any RAM brand or model (apart from setting frequency, voltage and timings through XMP, DOCP and the like). This does not seem to be black and white though. I've read comments where people said they...

How would RAM not fail stress testing that's specifically tailored to common use cases and edge cases alike, and yet would fail in real-world usage scenarios? Even though I recognize that this is possible, I fail to see how.

I am not sure how accurate the statement about my board not being able to achieve 4x32GB at 3200MHz is. You see, I had one defective module and I am yet to receive a replacement kit. I can tell you this: even with the bad kit installed (in the 4x32GB configuration, that is), the only test that...

Honestly speaking, neither are my sticks. I have two Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz CL16 kits, the part number of which is CMK64GX4M2E3200C16. That kit is on my motherboard's QVL list, with one difference: my kits are v3.40, while the kit that's on the QVL list is v3.44. That difference, to my...

Fair enough. Thanks a lot! The Crosshair VIII Dark Hero board I have should be one of the highest-end AM4 ASUS boards. I'd therefore assume that I have a better chance at "pushing it" with the RAM on that board rather than with lower-end ones. With that being said, my significant other has a...

Thanks! I am aware that running these in a 4x32GB configuration is a longshot and I will be testing them very thoroughly. I will lower the frequency as required. By the way, does anyone happen have the official memory spec sheet for the 5000 series handy? I cannot seem to be able to find it...
