Hello, The issue is that increasing the MHz to 3200 MHz or enabling the XMP profile causes my computer to crash and display a blue screen. It functions perfectly at 2133 MHz, also at 3200 MHz but crashes again after restarting. I've already tested RAM voltage at .01v and used MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI with the Ryzen 5 3600XT CPU, G.Skill Trident Z Neo - F4-3200C16D-16GTZN (16x2) RAM. Can you assist?
If you see my previous message about the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max RAM problem (with a Ryzen 5 3600), you'll grasp the issue. Check how many RAM modules you own. If you have dual-channel (two sticks), XMP will function; otherwise, set everything to default in the BIOS and disable XMP. Manually configure the RAM speed to 3600 or 3200MHz.
Consider verifying RAM placement in slots 2 and 4 relative to the CPU, as the memory layout suggests these are optimal individually. Experiment with various BIOS versions. It seems early MSI BIOSes for the X570 sometimes had unusual memory behavior, so that could be the cause. Input all memory settings manually: clock at 3200, voltage at 1.35V, SOC voltage at 1.15V (powering the controller), and timings 16-18-18-38 in sequence (tCL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS). Gradually increase frequency while monitoring stability. Some boards need you to raise the speed for consistency.
Hello, Waqas409. My dual channel setup is 16x2 with XMP support. If it doesn’t work, try booting into BIOS, revert everything to defaults, and turn off XMP. Set the RAM speed manually to 3200MHz or 3600MHz. I’ve already reset the BIOS settings and adjusted the speed to 3200MHz previously.
It functions properly with both RAM configurations at 3200MHz. After rebooting or leaving the system on, problems arise such as a blue screen whenever the machine restarts or powers off at that frequency. Adjusting the RAM back to 2133MHz typically resolves this issue.
The motherboard's memory controller occasionally behaves oddly. The reported specifications don't always match real performance. Have you checked for a BIOS update to the newest release?
