Now despite running Memtest twice over two nights and not getting any errors I noticed that Rimworld would consistently bring out this behaviour in my PC and it made me think, hey maybe there is something wrong with my RAM. none of what I have been doing has solved anything. I ran memtest, prime95 (both flagged 0 errors or showed nothing concerning), uninstalled drivers with DDU and reinstalled latest, checked the seating of all my components, ran chkdsk on all my disks and repaired one of them. No dumps were being created at all and I started trying to diagnose it.
The crashes were Kernel-Power 41 in the eventlogs, so just flat shutting off, not shutting down. up until the last month or two when I started getting very frequent crashes. For the next two or so years I had no issues running it with the three sticks. I thought 'oh dodgy stick' threw it to the side and shrugged my shoulders. I took the last stick of ram out and boom I was back up and running. Though I think now the MOBO might be itself.Ībout two years ago I ran into a RAM issue where my computer was in a startup loop and it just would not boot. I have had this setup for about 5-6 years now (except the GPU which I recently upgraded to) and never had much of an issue.
