A320MSI A320M-A supports DDR4 at 3200Mhz but experiences stability problems.
Here’s a revised version of your notes:
My PC setup includes an AMD Ryzen 3 3100 MSI A320M-A PRO MAX Corsair LPX with 16GBx2 at 3200MHz. It runs on a Kingston A2000 NVMe 500GB 2.5" drive with a 1TB Seagate 5400RPM. The system uses Gigabyte 1660 Super OC Antec VP500P Plus Ant eSports ICE-100TG 6 cabinet fans at 2000 RPM. It’s running Windows 10 Home x64.
When using both RAM sticks together (16*2), the system frequently stops and displays a BSOD with the error code VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR. However, it works fine when using just one stick at a time.
I ran MemTest86 to check for RAM issues and confirmed the sticks are not faulty. I also performed a GPU stress test using Furmark, which reached close to 83°C but didn’t trigger the BSOD. Running all tests on a single stick in either slot worked perfectly.
Switching to both sticks caused the BSOD again. Based on my observations, the problem might be related to the motherboard or BIOS settings. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.
Update your system to the most recent BIOS if you haven’t already. The latest version was released in July this year. Adjust the RAM speed to 3000 Mhz or 2933 Mhz and observe whether the issue recurs. The A320 chipset is designed without overclocking, featuring fewer features on the motherboard. Manufacturers typically invest less in BIOS development compared to other chipset boards. On this chipset, running at 3200 Mhz is considered overclocking, and the setting is noted as such on the motherboard documentation. It’s not a definitive rule, but your board might perform better with added cooling solutions. Consider installing small heatsinks on the CPU VRM and optionally on the integrated graphics/SoC VRM—directly beside the CPU socket. For guidance, check this link: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=vga+ram+heats..._sb_noss_1 You can purchase compact heatsinks with adhesive tape that allows easy cleaning with alcohol wipes or acetone while the board is off. Gently press the heatsinks onto the tiny chips for a secure fit.
