Game crashes without any error message, randomly

Thanks for your reply. Why should I exclude ANY software from AV? What is this?! I never ever had to exclude any game or software out of AV to make it work properly and latency was just fine. What does it tell me about the software design?

I read the FAQ you are refering to. Sorry, I don't trust steam or anyone else so I won't exclude them from my AV. More interestingly, I have never had to this with any other game from steam...

I'm sorry if I tend to sound offensive, that's not my point. I appreciate your assistance.

It's been an industry standard for longer than most gamers have been alive. The issue is with how games access memory. Especially games that are still in development. I believe I explained that pretty well in the FAQ. And honestly, if you don't trust the company, why is the software installed on your system?

Yes, I know what you mean. I'm not blaming anyone. That's a good question - there's hardly any other way with most games today than through steam. Guess I'm just oldschool type of gamer. I loved my physical copies in a box back in 1998. But then again, everything has its cons and pros. It is what it is.

Still I stand on my point that any software shouldn't be required to be left out of AV detection to work properly.

 
Alright, so I tested both RAM sticks and found out only was is faulty. First one showed 20+ errors after only 3 minutes and they were increasing gradually so I just stopped the test. Then I switched them and let the other one ran overnight since no erros appeared right away. And the test passed without errors (4 passes). I attach the results.

So I'll keep just 8 GB RAM for the time being, don't want faulty hw in my pc.

Now, the problem is how to RMA it. Since they came in a dual-box. I don't think I can return only one stick, can I? I think I can buy a new one, exact same model. But that's wasted money. The other solution is to buy a completely new pair, RMA this one and then sell it when they replace it.

I will try to play 7dtd today with this one ram stick.

EDIT:

Now that I think of it...I tested the sticks in different slots on the motherboard. The failed one was in slot #2, the passed one was in slot #4. I hope it's not the memory slots. Maybe I'll run one more test with the failing one in the #4 slot just to be sure.

Good idea, I'd test the "bad" one in all the slots. I recently worked on a machine with ram issues and one stick would only work in slot #3.

Any other slot and the machine wouldn't boot. Weird.

Yes, I've tried other slots and errors appeared pretty son, after 3 minutes 30+ detected errors. So I guess it's really the "RAM stick", not the DIMM slots.

OFFTOPIC: As for your problem, I had that issue on my previous computer. When I put 2 RAM sticks into 0,2 slots, PC wouldn't boot. Slots 1,3 worked fine BUT sometimes I had reseat the sticks otherwise it would be in an endless boot loop. Once reseated, everything worked just fine.

 
Just wanted to report. I bought a new pair of RAMs and been playing 3rd day (about 8 hours played) without any single error.

Thanks for helping me. I'm happy now. Also FPS is nice, stable 85-110.
