I thought I just lost everything on my computer because somehow automatic update from win made my ram run at 1300mhz instead of 1600mhz and it assumed there was a hardware problem and completely froze up every time it started. Luckily I decided to comb through bios first and Bam! Ram at wrong speed! I changed the setting and windows booted happily. Piece of shit update system. 😑

Backup time! 🙂

Windows can't change the speed of your RAM by itself. There's a different issue, and as a dev, you should know that Windows is not at fault here.

@filthyranter literally happened after an update. Perhaps it wasn't that it changed the speed and more that it was working fine when it was set to 1300mhz, had an update, and decided that there was a hardware problem on the memory's part, then I changed the setting and everything worked fine. More than fine actually. My computer is functioning better than before. I noticed that an over clock was applied too out of no where so I'm sitting here just going wtf is happening. This computer is basically a fresh install still and I haven't been in my bios in like a 7 months prior to today.

@nik123 Cool. Let me send a calendar reminder for you then :P

@jespersh it's the weirdest thing honestly. Was working fine before when it was under clocked, windows had an update and stopped liking it, I changed the clock to what it's supposed to be, windows plays nice now. Booted up with no issues.
