About 2 weeks ago, I was on here and I was told all my signs of crashing where leading to a faulty motherboard. When using one of the DIMM slots the ram checklist light would come on, and when using a different slot it wouldn’t. I ran a basic windows ram check and it said everything was good. I bought a new motherboard, and it ran for 5 mins then crashed again. I shut it off, and turned it back on and the ram light is back on in all slots. What do I do? (Edit) when I tried to turn the computer on after it crashed, it would turn on for a few seconds, make a ting noise, then turn off, then do it again and again. I shut the power supply off and it stopped(another edit) I believe all the signs point to faulty ram or a faulty psu, however I want to make sure. My psu is 450 watt, and I have an rx 580, 8gb single channel ddr4, r5 2600x, MSI b450a pro, two case fans. Some have said my psu wattage is too low, however loads of sites have told me that my system only draws 390 watts
I bought a new motherboard

Originally posted by RustysAccording to the motherboard information you should be running Dual Channel. So yes you should need to replace the RAM with proper ones.

I know what dual channel is. I know that dual channel increases performance. But the motherboard having dual channel shouldn’t mean that I can only run dual channel on that board.Comment
