It might be the ram

#

Most games run better with 16 gb

#

You could also try doing a fresh install of windows

open badge
#

Try putting the ran down to about 3600mhz or lower and see it it helps

#

Beam I completely fine with 8gbs of ram

#

Also try both renderers

#

Vulkan an dx11

floral pagoda
#

Is it only happening to beam

open badge
#

Read the post???

#

Seems like it

#

And it's not like beam to be completely unstable

#

@woeful lichen try vulkan mode, if that doesn't work boot up the game in safe+vulkan

#

Memory instability maybe

#

Is it in an xmp profile or custom?

#

And is the 6650xt the first gpu to be used in that pc? If it isn't did you ddu before getting drivers?

#

Go down to 1.5v

#

And just try run stock

#

I assume cl16-16-16-32 @3600

#

No. Just run stock

#

Xmp might make it shit itself more

#

Do that then

storm pecan
#

Run memory test
Run prime95

See if either spit errors

#

CPU overclocked or overheating?

#

screenshot task manager showing all resources

#

That message is saying you have no memory available

#

8GB of RAM total?

#

You have 250M remaining and the pagefile is over 80%

#

So beam.ng is failing to allocate a memory page

#

see what is using your memory right nw

#

interesting, taskmgr disagrees with how much is used.

#

There shuold be a page with more memory details

#

Close discord, steam or something else.

#

I think for now, 8GB = no game

#

windows generally doesn't handle low memory well

#

I'd look at every program running and see if you ened it running

#

And I'd want to know why 24GB of pagefile is in use

#

that is A LOT of pagefile

#

you can dig into that

#

process explroer

#

Boot safe mode, run prime95

#

does that run stable?

#

They look fine.

#

Is this safe mode?

#

If running XMP you should be OK. I think OCCT has a memory tester. Else memtest86 on a USB key.

#

but I'd test memory and CPU in safe mode

#

remove other variables

#

Revert to that then

#

If there are errors, go back to basics and work up from there slowly

#

So if full stock is fine, then try RAM timings. See if those are fine. etc

#

and use process explorer if you get high memory usage to see WHAT is causing it

#

24GB pagefile use still seems off

#

this was happening to me with beamng in 2021 with 16 gigs of ram i9 9900k 2060super. i switched to 32 gigs and it solved the problem

wind kelp
#

I had that problem with warzone and beamng. The other games like apex and overwatch played fine though. After switching to more ram I had no problems

#

I also had a problem in early 2021 where my i5 9600k was bottlenecking my gpu and I switched to the i9. Had no problems for almost a year then I had the problems again and switched the ram

#

Idk what die i have but its 3200 cl16

#

Dang yeah that sucks

#

Luckily it sounds like your upgrades will be pretty cheap especially with how cheap ram is

#

I'd do the ram first just incase that fixes your problems. Could save money if its just the ram

#

Nice nice

#

I spent like $150 on 32 gigs in 202/ early 2022

#

2021/2022*

#

Very nice

#

Well I'm going to bed but good luck

#

Decrease your page file

#

I've seen this before

#

It's a page file error usually

#

And it might be worth bu1yimg another stick of ram

#

@woeful lichen

#

I'd say even 4 more gbs of ram will do

fathom harness
#

You running an i3... God damn

#

That could be a issue?

open badge
#

Fair

#

Try to find another kit or a stick

#

Why 4400 tho?

#

Just get normal 3600 cl16

#

Ahh

#

Klevvs bolt series is good tbh

#

They're like 40 bucks for 16gb of 3200

#

Ye seems to be

#

Go ahead and get it but I wouldn't expect any higher than 3933mhz out of this

#

I'll be ocing normal uncovered dimms kek

#

Loke no heat spreader since they're a bit cheaper

#

Hope so

#

Increased it from 4096 to 6128mb and beamng acted similar like what's happening here

open badge
#

Google it

#

I only say that as I forgot how to

#

Change it to like 2048

#

Or 4096

#

Try 2048 or 4096

#

You have to restart to apply it but I just wanna see if it works

#

Page file?????

#

What the fuck?

#

Wait 1- only page your c drive

#

2- 4096mb max

#

Remove the page file off d

#

The c drive is THE.ONLY.ONE supposed to have a page file

#

Idfk just delete it and give 4096 to the c drive

#

Or just let windows manage it by ticking that option

#

That's set by windows yes?

#

Nono

#

Drive size doesn't matter at fucking all

#

As long as its not full

#

Just do it manually

#

Set min to 4096 and max to 4096

#

Tgats way too big

#

It could be the reason it's crashing actually ngl

#

Why does it say 11 gb page file

#

If its running out of memory just set it back to 20 gb

#

Wat

#

Bitch just dump all important shit onto another drive and reinstall windows I swear

#

This 11 install is being a goofy goober in a bad way

#

Why?

#

What the fuck

#

Want to save yourself the hassle?

#

Enterprise explains why the page file is so huge, it might also be the cause kf the problems

#

You have 2 drives right? Dump the games onto those

#

I get the slow wifi pain dw it took me 3 hours just to download hl2 linuth

#

Wait what

#

Get new deditcaced wam

#

You have a 6650xt?

#

Wait how big is it 👀

#

Like length

#

The 6650xt

#

Sad

#

Mightve bought it off you if it was 7 or less

#

Ahh

#

I gave a 2060 super on the way

#

But nothing to like put it in yet

#

Haven't got the money for the rest of the pc yet

#

Is it less than 190mm?

#

Then no

#

Also a 2060 super is like a 3060 8gb basically but here like 150 eurp cheaper than even used 3060s

#

Oof

#

Just get new ram it's way more important than a gpu

#

40 bucks?

#

Oh ok

#

Wait I thought you was like 20 or sum

#

I thought you were a rich guy idk why I always assume so since most ltt dc members are

#

Oh shit

#

Same but 2 years older and practically no income aka 40 euro a month

#

Just get a new kit if you can

#

Beam isn't supposed to use more than 3-6 gb of virtual memory

#

At least from experience

#

Damn

open badge
#

I mean that's better but still not good

#

Watcha do?

storm pecan
#

Do you have the RAID set up to AHCI instead of RAID?

#

Intel RST is software for the shitty motherboard RAID iirc

storm pecan
#

If you can still boot Windows, then likely it's fine. Changing RAID/AHCI modes after Windows is installed requires extra steps beyond just the BIOS change. You're probably fine.

#

WOOO

#

Slap it in and see if it works

open badge
#

Wait what? Is everything OK?

#

Didn't realise that there was a fire at your house

#

Hope you're ok

storm pecan
#

install windbg, open mdmp and see what module bugchecked.

spark wharf
storm pecan
#

mini dump (missing stack info and such). I always forget that blue screens just create full dumps

Either way, load that DMP file into windbg and run "!analyze -v"

storm pecan
#

Check what the critical is I guess.

#

It's a ^*(&ing awful debugger that I do NOT miss using but...it works here.

spark wharf
storm pecan
#

Granted, my usage of it was with internal symbols. Still, I'm hoping the analyze command gives some useful call stack info

#

The DMP should still be present

#

it's only removed when there's a new crash IIRC

#

Well, new one will still be interesting

#

There should be a load dump option in the file dropdown I think

#

Run windbg as admin

#

!analyze -v may take time

#

.bugcheck will also tell you the bugcheck code

#

including the period.

#

its a ram issue

#

could honeslty be your board

#

heap corruption is memory errors

#

like the slots or even the cpu itself

#

did you try swapping slots?

#

wdym? do you only have 2 ram slots

#

do you have your board still under warranty? or was it 2nd hand

#

likely you could rma if u do

#

cpu you mean

#

it could seriously be a cpu issue

#

did you try it in a different pc? the gpu i mean

#

doesnt matter if you oc ir not you couldve just gotten a hot heap of shit silicon

#

fair, test the gpu on there, oh and also do a clean windows install too before you resue the drive

#

im talkign about the i3, its most likely its fault everythinh is failing

#

is it amd?

#

windows doesnt really like platform cahnges for cpus

#

you could pull the win key tho

#

wait

#

this could be the problem

#

legit it could

#

if you never reinstalled

#

still

#

try a fresh windows install, see what happens

#

if youre bothered transferrign shit overnight

#

i downloaded windows overnight using their tool, i have 200kbps avg so

#

maybe there were some spikes to 12mbps but still

#

imagine

#

like i can even ddos

#

what

#

more so the board

#

shit

storm pecan
#

Wow...I thought the days of slow internet were done

lucid badge
#

Do you have dual sticks or single?

#

Hmmm

#

Do you reset the CMOS battery?

#

As I can read the chats. It seems like a mobo to me but try to swap the rams (it is easier to check).

open badge
storm pecan
#

Yeah, new kit and one of two dimms was DOA

#

new kit did boot before

So it's not booting anymore!?

open badge
#

now its dram error

lucid badge
#

@woeful lichen (sorry for the mention)

If you are using two sticks then I want you to remove one stick and check if your pc boots. I think your XMP is enabled so with new kits it won't boot up. Boot with one stick go into bios and disable it or just remove CMOS battery for 1-2 mins.

open badge
#

we tried everything posiible

lucid badge
#

Then it all comes to your mobo.

Black BSODs don't give much information.

For how much time you removed the CMOS battery?

Then to be honest with you I recommend you to seek professional help.

They will do troubleshooting and it will save your time and money.

#

wanna donate your cpu 👀 ill gib you 65 euro for it

#

still a 3600x is good

#

awh, im stuck with my shitty i5 then

#

oh fair but it is technically yours

#

oof

slender lotus
#

what lappy

open badge
#

smack it

#

unplug everything

#

literally every bit

#

and go from bare like do cpu and mobo and ram first to see if it even posts

#

and then plug in the other stick and accessories etc

#

compur

and keyboard with missing key
