Rig bootloop when adding ram stick but memtest ok

[Maxouille]

Hi,

My rig only has 4gb of RAM and ~30mb free while running. I think this could be the source of my random shut offs. I have a 3060ti and 1080 mining kawpow and CPU as well. Hiveos is updated to the last kernel and miners version.

I added another 4gb stick (same one) and hiveos bootloop.

I tried a memtest embedded in hiveos and memory is ok, no error. Then, the rig booted normally with 8gb of RAM.

I don’t understand this problem. Memory seems ok. When starting normally, bootloop.
When starting after a memtest, no problem.

As if the BIOS was not setting up the RAM fast enough and hiveos creates a memory error or something like that.

Any ideas ?

Best

what motherboard are you running?

It’s an old gigabyte Z77-D3H.

After reboots ans memorytest, it seems to work fine. Maybe my inexplicable freeze/lost of internet where due to lack of RAM.

If you have another explanation, I willing to take it.

Thx

some things you can try:
-flash latest bios version if not on it
-run ram at a lower speed than its rated
-try different ram
