Recently kept getting random shutdown. It will only happen after loading into window screen.
You can check my previous post on what i did.
Eventually i narrowed down that it might be a dual channel ram issue.

I tried slot1,3 and slot2,4 but will always encounter random shutdown.
Checked voltage 1.2~1.23V @ 2666mhz, default setting

I tested using 1 stick for 2 to 3 days each on slot 1, 2, 3, 4 progressively. No random shutdown happen.
Did the same thing with another stick and no random shutdown happen.

UPDATE: 17/11/2021
Encountered random shutdown with 1 stick of ram after some days of uneventful testing. Tried swapping to different ram slot, same random shutdown occurs. The random shutdown occur less frequently as compared to using 2 stick. Swap to another stick of ram and same random shutdown occur. Really scratching my head on which component is causing this to happen.

What could have gone wrong with dual channel ram?
may i know if you also try slot:

1) A1 & A2

2) B1 & B2

does it mean for now you only using 8GB as system memory?

what would be your next RAM kit of choice?

Tried slot1,2 and slot 3,4, will have random shutdown.
All troubleshooting are done with XMP off.

XMP off all along even before the random shutdown starts to happen.

Bring the PC to Nigel @ PC Care & Solution #02-32 . He see the specs he don't even need to troubleshoot he can tell you the faulty part.
