I got my Dan 4.1 a few days ago, and one day later a memory module and its slot failed. Here's what happened:
I was running 3d mark or smth and the system rebooted and it didn't want to boot into windows. Turned it off and back on, the memory led went on on the mainboard . The RAM closest to the CPU was super hot, the other one was ok. There was a burning smell as well. No OC, memory and CPU running at stock speed.
I took the build apart ant came to the conclusion that both the RAM and its slot on the mainboard had failed. The other RAM and slot is fine.
Since I don't believe in coincidences, my concern is maybe my system is prone to RAM overheat. My temps are normal, the CPU stays in the high 70's under load. I tried running memtest and the remaining RAM module heats up, but I can touch it for a few seconds or so.
How can I verify if there is a problem with the RAM temps, since there is no sensor? Any thoughts on the incident or build?
Thanks!
