Question regarding g528

Options

expo causes freezes and restarts. I have to disable expo to make it stable, but then the RAM runs at 5200 MT/s or sometimes 5600 MTs instead of the rated 6000 MTs. Any ideas on how to fix this? And when I try tuning it up to 5800 in UEFI it freezes up..

    In the BIOS, go to the OC menu and select EXPO II. See if that's stable for you first. Can you run a pass of memtestx86 to see which tests fail?

    Selected EXPO II. Still unstable unfortunately. I don't have a USB to run MemTest at the moment, so I'll try getting back to you on that. But now, instead of being stable at 5600, it just wants to stick to 5200. Should I exchange it, or will it be fine if I can replace the RAM stick? I can settle for that, I'm just afraid that when I want to upgrade to 2x16, it just won't work.

    Could be a bad RAM module, could be an IMC issue. Difficult to tell without a diagnostic.
