It's been an honor being apart of the PC Master Race for the last 9 years. Unfortunately my Ram decided to die when the market is too expensive. Troubleshooted all 4 RAM sticks, they are dead. I've been meaning to update my 2666 DDR4 but never got to it. Paying for my lazy consequences. It's been a fun ride. Don't know what I'll do with my spare time. I'll still be a lurker. Learn from my mistakes, upgrade/update when you can. Milk signing out. ✌️

Remove/replace the cmos battery. I’ve had issues with booting to black and weird stuff because of an old battery. Worth a shot.

    I also had the same issue a couple years ago. I didn't try testing the RAM because the symptoms led me to believe it was a PSU problem causing random crashes, but eventually something led me to question the CMOS battery, and replacing it fixed everything.

    I don't know if it could cause memory tests to fail though.
