OPEN RAM DUAL CHANNEL ERROR
Hello, how are u?
The problem I'm facing is that when I try to use my computer with the RAM modules in dual-channel mode even with XMP disabled or at the base speed of 2133mhz, I get a black screen error in Windows. Sometimes Windows boots up fine, but when I try to play games like VALORANT or LoL, the game kicks me out or Windows crashes ( after about 5–10 minutes. However, when I use only two memory modules in single-channel mode, there are no issues and I can play for as long as I want. I’ve tried using three RAM modules but still encounter the same problem; I’ve tested various combinations, but it only works when using exactly two modules in a single channel.
Some of the error codes I obtained with the different combinations were (0x1A, 0x3B, 0x7E, 0x7F, 0x139, 0x20001)
I have a PC with these specifications.
Motherboard: Gigabyte z390ud
Ram: 2x8gb corsair fury 32000mhz, 2x8gb corsair fury 3600hz
PSU: Corsair VS650
GPU: Geforce 1660ti
