The penny's just dropped that I need to swap the stick in B2 as that could be the issue, I'll do that now.

Yes, sorry I wasn't clear before. I left a stick in B2 and then cycled through the other sticks putting them in A2. Slots A1 and B1 are now empty. In this config games etc all work, but it has the beep code at boot. The configuration on the motherboard is A1 and A2 are next to each other...

Hi @ubuysa, I've swapped the RAM sticks. The manual says B2 is the main slot, so I removed the stick from A2, booted the comp and got the one long 3 short beep code. I then removed that stick and put in the other, same beep code. I then put back in the one that was first in and that got the beep...

Hi @ubuysa, my motherboard has 2 RAM channels with 2 slots each, A 1&2 and B 1&2. If you have 2 sticks the manual says to put them in slots A2 and B2, so I removed A1 and B1 and things work perfectly! I guess next I need to put one of the sticks I removed into the B2 slot, if that works, try the...

OK, thanks, I'll try it as soon as the bags arrive

@ubuysa, the info I get is : BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 1212, 05/11/2020 SMBIOS Version 3.3 Embedded Controller Version 255.255 BIOS Mode UEFI I presume that's what you're referring to? I don't personally know what it means though...

Hi @ubuysa, me again. The anti-static bags will be here at some point before 10pm so still not checked the RAM. Upon booting my PC today however I got the one long and 3 short beep code again, so once more I removed and reseated the card ensuring it was fully in, the clip clicked and screws were...

Hi @ubuysa, I had that beep code again earlier but tried re-seating the card and it hasn't happened since. The PC hasn't crashed since removing Bitdefender either, but it also isn't really playing games still. F1 2020 will start but crashes after a lap or so, Quake is still fine, Dirt 5 will...

Morning @ubuysa and thanks for looking at the dump for me. I turned on my PC this morning to uninstall Bitdefender after seeing your message on my phone, when the computer started I got the usual single beep, but then not too long after I got a beep code of 1 long beep followed by 3 short. It...

No problem, I appreciate yours and everyone else's help! If you get round to it tomorrow that'd be awesome, I've tried playing Dirt 5 for a bit to see if it was ok (and because my new monitor arrived and I wanted to use it...:giggle:) And it played ok for the best part of an hour. I've been...

Link for the memory dmp from yesterday should be HERE I don't have an empty USB at the min so I'll try removing a couple of the sticks, then the other 2. I removed and then re-inserted the RAM but then booting F1 2020, the game crashed again. Whilst Googling, it's said that the order and...

OK, will do. Is there anything I need to do/ be mindful of? I've taken a RAM Stick out once before and re-inserted it, so I'm ok with that, but if I'm taking it out and having to leave it out a while whilst waiting for a crash is what I'm thinking?

@ubuysa I'll happily take a mince pie! :LOL: OK, so the plot thickens. I set it downloading Dirt 5, it downloaded it, I booted it and I played it without a problem... I then tried Cyberpunk, got through character creation for the first time, then in the opening spiel it crashed. I then tried F1...

Wow, so much help, thanks all! @RogWal, the game won't boot at all for me to be able to set it to windowed mode, if there's another way of doing it, I don't know it. @ubuysa, I've made the amends you suggested. Will finding the cause of the crashes rectify the issue of games either not booting...

Hi Rogwal, yeah, I tried both DX11 and DX12, both failed. @Nursemorph I haven't had a blue screen today, just failure to launch any games. I think the error from prior to the last BSoD was "The DTS APO3 Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s)." I've had a "Windows...

Hi all, thanks for the quick replies! I've missed he BSoD's to be honest as they have occurred whilst downloading a 40gb+ game so I've left it to it. Generally happens after a couple of hours downloading, I come back and it's at the sign in screen after restarting. I haven't run a test to check...

Hi all, I ordered a PC from here and it arrived on Xmas eve, what great timing I thought! Well, since then I've had multiple crashes and issues so I'm really hoping you may be able to help. I'm pretty new to PC gaming, though have always worked on computers so I'm not utterly clueless... Anyway...

Thanks for that info, I've swapped to a Corsair 750W TXm Series semi modular 80 plus Gold. Bumped me up to £1669.00 but I can live with that

Hi , thanks for the reply. At hte min I've got a iiyama ProLite E2710HDS. It's old and needs replacing, just not got the spare funds for that as well as the PC atm. This build is coming in at £1,621.00. So if I change any parts for more expensive one's, I'll need to make some cost cuts elsewhere...

Hi All, I've always been a console gamer but am looking to get my first gaming PC (I'll use it for a bit of work and Photoshop too, but nothing too strenuous). I would like to be able to play all the new games, Cyber Punk, AC Valhalla etc and whatever else new come out for the new gen of...
