Hey guys, my Crucial Ballistix ram is being mean.
I was stable with these settings for the past 2 weeks, with my comp running 24/7.
I came back to my comp after class yesterday and windows had some random error message. I close it, then none of my games will run- they won't even start.
I restart, start memtest, and red appears. I then set optimized defaults in the bios, run memtest again, red appears.
The only way I got the errors to go away was to power off the pc, unplug and let it decharge, then plug it back in.
I ran memtest for 8hours last night, no errors today.

Here is the memset display on the optimized default settings. Also, my background processes aren't loading on their own now (in the red circle) I have to manually start speedfan, my mouse drivers, and my AV. Could this be related to ram?
As always, thanks you guys for all your help.
