Still Crashing - Black Screens, Fans Rev up, Non Responsive System

I have tried everything. Stock. Undervolted. XMP on. XMP off. Added surplus voltage to Core/SA/IO/DRAM. Stability tests elsewhere are passing at the 8 hour mark (memory, CPU and CPU/GPU combined tes...

Fingers crossed but I believe my issue may be resolved.
Appears a revert to a previous BIOS revision has eliminated my issues.
Solved, or so I hope.
So say we all.

My system would pass Memtest86 all day long but fail HCI MemTest.

Here you go @OskooI_007

As per the results below I don't think memory is the issue. I could certainly test for upwards of 500%+ coverage all day long though and I'm will to bet it still crashes.

And this test was with a mild overclock! ☹️

@GanjaSMK is mem compatible with cpu ? <-- did check QVL ???
Did windows health check (sfc /scannow ??????)
Did test each module seperatly ? just use 1 ram module , check wich memory port ya need if ya use only 1 ram module in youre manual !
Most m,otherboards need to be slot 2 (a2) be populated , again check manual, now test game with this (only) 1 ram module, also test 2n ram module as ya did with the first one.

Your RAM is stable. The forum made your screenshot really blurry. 😞 I believe you I just wanted to look at it.
I don't know what could be causing the black screen and the game to crash. The way the GPU fans rev up makes it seem like a GPU driver issue maybe.

    After flash bios , ya should do a cmos reset.
    Cmos reset by connecting 2 pins at MB, do not use LOAD BIOS DEFAULT !
    A real "hard reset (clr cmos)" is the best option after bios flash (up/downgrade bios)
    
    Checm MB manual wich PINS ya need for a CLR CMOS , very often close to the battery at youre MB !
    Cheers
    ps after CLR CMOS ya need to cfg youre bios again !
