Dear intel community,

I was looking into framerate problems I had with some games and in this process I ran the processor diagnostic tool. To my surprise my system failed at the IMC test:

IMC Test

Module Version: 1.0.7.64b.W

Start Time: Sat Jan 30 13:13:29 2016

Test Result - FAIL

--- Reading Memory Size ---

Unable to retrieve memory size.

-- - Memory Size Test Fail!!!-- -

End Time: Sat Jan 30 13:13:29 2016

Total Time: seconds: 0

To be honest I am not sure how serious this problem is. The memory I am using is 2x8 GB Kingston HyperX Fury Black SEries DDR4 @ 2666MHz / PC4-21300, 1.2 V. Maybe someone here can help me and explain what could be the cause of this. Mind you, here are the other system specs:

Hello, @ict:

Please set your BIOS configuration to default and run the test one more time.
