Hey guys... so having a weird ram issue - please see the system specs in my sig. I've got 12GB of the G. Skill Trident running @ about 1638Mhz (well below spec), CAS 9, 1.64V. My system is OC'd to 4.3ghz at the moment (was at 4.4 but backed off a little).
Sometimes between reboots, the system will boot and only show 10GB of RAM - the system will boot and work normally, but it's only 10. If I shut down and restart, it'll show 12 again. When the system is up it runs fine - most of the time now days I'm just encoding blu-ray rips.
My Asus board has some in-built memory diagnostics (that I need to read up on) - just wanted to know what's the least painful way of going about troubleshooting this issue.
Is one stick bad? Kind of tough to pin-point when there are 6 of 'em. Is it the board?
Any pointers on the best way to trouble shoot would be helpful.
Thanks.
