It's looking like it was the RAM. I just won't say yes until that time us up. At that point, a week will have passed. I also uninstalled the drivers for thge onboard USB 3.1 controller. It's not in the MS database, so there is no auto-install. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk
Ok, it's been a week without a single issue! It was either the RAM or the on-board USB 3.1. Nice thing about this is it's real easy to test. I'll be installing the driver and see how everything goes.
I was, and am using the 3.1 port. However, given I haven't had a single problem with my system, I am going to say it was the RAM. I guess the board really dosen't want to work unless the RAM is certified. By default it has been using the XMP profile, so it's been running at a higher clock speed and tighter timings.
Normally I would as well, however i got Corsair CMK8GX4M2B3200C. It's on the certified list, verified good up to two pairs, and tested with XMP. The previous stuff I ran at JEDEC for stability as well as it being reported to have issues with XMP. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk
Ok, I got some free time coming up, and I'll get some pictures of the system and post them here. I know it's been a few months, but I have been busy with moving, school, and other aspects of life.
