I did that but I only had the issue once and it never showed itself again but swapped still swapped the MOBO.
Also I was looking at the best RAM for my MOBO and the ram I have was #2 on the list. I still dont understand why specific slots run different speeds and dont allow the ram I have to run at its advertised speed.
Feel dumb that I dont understand but I just cant figure it out.
Found this quote about the ram maybe it helps a bit. Gl with the drive that's a weird one hopefully mobo fixes.
"Electrical signal integrity.
You send a 2GHz+ signal down the traces on a motherboard. How the traces are terminated greatly impacts the reflections in the signal, and therefore the stability.
Daisy chain vs t-topology are the two major memory trace types.
Daisy chain has slots 1+3 wired first, 2+4 last. You put the sticks in slots 2+4 so that the signals don't go past slots 1+3 and then bounce off the unterminated traces in slots 2+4.
T-topology has the traces split between slots 1+3 and 2+4 in equal length. Meaning that no matter which slots you use, the stability is the same.
If you don't know what type of trace layout your board uses, slots 2+4 should be used, and 99.9% of motherboard manuals indicate this. "
