Windows 8 breh
It's all good in the bios too. Nothing is "abnormal" anymore.
I'm gonna be testing all day tomorrow now. Not looking forward to that....
Edit: Watch Dogs magically works now again too.

What did you besides reset the bios did you remove any ram sticks?
I didn't do anything. I just turned the system off completely and then turned it back on
Edit: Well, I did do a factory restore of the bios previously, but that didn't do anything before (but maybe it fixed it once I did the hard reset)

Good shyt none the less glad its working.I didn't do anything. I just turned the system off completely and then turned it back on

Well, I just got a Memory_Management Win 8.1 blue screen error out of the blue. I guess I'm testing the RAM again....(How many hours do I gotta test it this time?....shyt!
)

Do it in 30min increments one stick at a time to see if one is bad.

I ran that test and nothing came up. I'm gonna have to run Memtest86+ again on each stick I think.
I don't know how this could be associated with drivers, like that thread suggests, but who knows? Thoughts on that?

I never seen drivers affect memory are you running any auto overclock software on your computer? When did this start? And when this did start do you remember any changes you made on your system.

Also you may cam get your memory more stable by going into the bios and manually set their voltage and timings
I just started noticing the weird missing ram today actually.
Nothing is overclocked, but I've had some weird system freezes during gaming where I'd have to hard restart my computer. This has happened 4 or 5 times with Watch Dogs and once with BF4. I'm using a memory hack on Watch Dogs to play in three monitors that could be causing the system freeze (or not...I dunno). I can't explain the BF4 freeze though.
I've had a few other blue screen errors, but I can't remember what they were for (could have been memory, or not).
Someone suggested I run Memtest86+ on my RAM overnight, and I did that with no errors, but I didn't do one stick at a time (I did both together).
This is a brand new rig with everything new in it. It's about 40 days old. I didn't really notice any weird errors until Watch Dogs came around, but I thought it might just be that game. Then that BF4 freeze hit and then the missing memory today and that error.
I tested the CPU with Prime95 and my temps are stable and good (no overclock). I tested my graphics card with Valley running for hours on end and got some artifacting, which worries me a bit, but no crashes.(I haven't noticed any artifacting with any other games though, so I'm thinking it may just be a valley thing with the new nvidia drivers or my 780ti sli...I dunno. I'm gonna investigate that further)
Given this memory error I got from Windows, I'm thinking the root of my problem might be ram related, despite what all of the tests say. I think I may just have to try out one stick at a time.
Unless you have any other suggestions.
Thanks for your help by the way. I really appreciate it

Around the time time you installed watch dogs it seems something was altered. What worries me is readimg you say that 780s are artifacting that shouldnt happen normally. Everything in my gut telling me you should wipe your system before something does damage to it.
maybe your mobo only supports 12gb or ram so it's not recognizing the other 6?
just a guess.
*edit*
nvm...just read everything else you posted.

Man I'm about to throw AMD in the bushes man. Their CPU's are fukking trash. This FX 6300 seems like a MARGINAL improvement over my Fx 4100. It seems like some games are performing WORSE now and introducing stuttering I didn't have before. I didn't even OC it yet.
Dolphin emu has stuttering now on a build that worked perfect for my Fx 4100.
BF4 is stuttering like crazy on mantle or DX11.
Tomb Raider performs as if it's still the FX 4100 in there.
