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. ✌️

It's more likely for one mainboard to die rather than all 4 RAM sticks at the same moment.

    I was able to pin point an issue. So far 1 of the 4 ram sticks still has life. Going to see what's wrong with the 3 other ones on my buddies rig, see if he gets the same issues. So down to 8GB of Ram

    If your computer boots to is your ram can't all be dead. Pull the 1st and 3rd stick out. If that doesn't work then put them back and pull the 2nd and 4th stick out. If that doesn't work, like someone else mentioned, pull and replace your cmos battery, which should also reset your bios to default. If that doesn't work use a program to do a complete uninstall of your video card drivers and do a clean install of your video card drivers. If that fails, try changing (after you research settings a bit for your mobo) ram configuration settings in your bios. If that fails it's probably your PSU or mobo. If your PSU, bios config, or mobo fail it can cause a ram stress test to fail.

    Did the 2 and 4 slots, then just the 2 to narrow it down. And so far only 1 RAM stick is good. Ordered a CMOS battery so waiting on that. As a hail marry with the 1 working RAM stick. We did a clean install of Windows and made sure the BIOS was set to default. And so far my PC is running normal off the 1 stick, when putting any of the 3 other ones it boots to the blue screen of death. Gonna test the 3 other ones on my buddy's Rig and he's gonna let me out his RAM into my rig to see if I get the same issue.

    Just to double check, are you putting the sticks back in their original slots, or are you trying them in the same slot?

    At first the original. Then moved them around to slots 2 and 4, 1 and 3. Then just 2.

    Ah, that's a shame. It's great that you've ruled it out, but it would have been nice to find something.

    So worse case Scenario, running my rig on 8GB of RAM. Best case scenario the Ai bubble pops this week and RAM prices crash down.

    So if you shut the computer down and swap the 1 ram stick out with any of the other ones using the same slot, it won't work? The one working stick works in any of the 4 slots?
