Windows 10: Windows crashes when using dual channel memory

Yup, the title is the problem.

If I use windows with my RAM in dual channel it has a higher chance to crash where in single-channel both sticks perform good.

I don't understand why this is happening.

Does anyone know?

What is Better Dual or Single Channel Memory?

Dual channel is always better then single.

As others have said, it`s all in your head, the only way to prove it is to run winsat mem with 1 stick in single channel then 2 sticks in dual channel.

As far as booting from a usb stick, you have to choose it in the one time boot menu (not the bios) unless you go into the bios and list usb as the first boot option (you do not want to do that)

My settings

1) DVD drive
2) Boot drive
3) Disable
4) Disable

etc
etc
etc

Any time you want to deviate just use the boot menu, as mentioned


For example, If you want to boot into a Linux distro on a flash drive, just follow the above rule.

 

single channel ddr3 vs dual channel ddr3

I've got two 10 year old laptops and I'm upgrading the memory to 8GB. On Speccy it's currently reporting the RAM as

HP: DDR3 Single channel PC3-12800, 2 slots both used
Toshiba: DDR3 Dual channel PC3-10700 2 slots one used

I'm confused so please correct me if I am making the correct assertions below. BTW I'm buying the ram secondhand off of Ebay and not buying from e.g. Crucial as too expensive otherwise I would use their memory wizard and be done:

ASSERTIONS:

1. The HP has a single channel memory architecture on the MB but the Toshiba has dual channel architecture on it's MB.
2. Any DDR3 SODIMM will work so I could use PC3-12800 on either laptop using a 2 x 4GB config.
3. Dual and single channel refers to the MB design and not the physical structure of the memory sticks. But if the memory sticks are labelled dual channel it means that they are designed to work with second paired memory stick in the appropriate channel.

Many thanks for any help in setting me straight if reqd
