Indeed. I started experiencing abnormalities with my PC once I installed the new 980PRO 1TB drive. I need to note that it is in fact a second hand drive. Here is the drive when I first installed it prior to cloning. Here it is after. I'm unsure if the problem is with the other drives. So I have included CrystalDiskInfo and CrystalDiskMark image for each of the drives inside this google drive folder just in case: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...drive_link All of my RAM sticks runs at 3200Mhz CL16, I'm unsure about the exact timings.
You're currently using DDR4 RAM, and you plan to switch to two sticks later when you have more time.
I wanted to mention a few known problems with these drives, though your flash seems to be functioning well and no issues have been reported. It looks like your firmware is up to date, and your CPU isn’t rated for 4 sticks at this speed. From what I remember, Zen 2 typically reached its limit around 2933, but if it worked before you added the SSD and you’ve tested it, it should be fine now.
Unfortunately it doesn't function. Using any number of sticks—one, two, or three in any position—still won't fix the problem.
this doesn't really assist you, but you weren't fully informed. the 3600 can handle four sticks at 3200 and 3600. both of your kids' PCs have an AMD 3600 with four sticks running Ripjaw 3600 CL16 speed. I'm aware it had problems when it first launched but hasn't been an issue for years.
I missed a few points you mentioned. Based on what I understand, cloning a drive can lead to lingering problems from the original drive, such as OS or software issues. A new Windows installation might resolve these concerns.
It might help to install a BIOS update for improved RAM compatibility.
The provided link doesn’t contain any dump files. Please inspect C:\Windows\Minidump manually. If you find any, return to the Windows directory and move the entire Minidump folder to the Downloads folder. Compress the folder and include it in your message. Follow the steps carefully since Windows may resist file transfers. Also look for Memory.dmp in C:\Windows; this file can be very large and only the most recent one is saved. Critical_Process_Died suggests a problem with OS or storage files. This often happens when storage issues prevent data from being dumped during a BSOD. With NVMe drives, SMART readings are generally ineffective.
