Issue with severe system failure after turning on XMP settings.
Issue with severe system failure after turning on XMP settings.
PC specifications include a 5700xt Red Dragon Ryzen 3600 processor, 16GB of 2x8 DDR4 memory at 3200MHZ, an Aorus 570x motherboard, and a 650wt Gold power supply from XTR. The system reset after a hard reboot, with BIOS confirming the reset and default settings restored to 2133. CPU-Z reports a frequency of 1064.5MHz, DRAM frequency at the same value, and a CAS latency of 15.0. Previously, I disabled XMP during setup but re-enabled it recently after troubleshooting. Some games are experiencing texture pop issues, so I attempted XMP again, but the PC still doesn’t seem to handle it well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Did you opt for XMP 1 or XMP 2? Make sure the CPU is running at default speeds—avoid OC Genie or Tuner tools, and keep manual OC disabled. Any other than a boost adjustment might require you to fine-tune clocks and settings yourself.
It seems many people are noticing challenges with XMP profiles on Gigabyte boards recently. This appears to be a recurring issue, similar to what others have reported.
I will eliminate the GPU OC and test with stock settings. Reset the BIOS to defaults by removing the CMOS battery on the board for a few minutes (ensure the system is off and power cable unplugged). While the battery is out, press the power button on the case a couple of times to discharge it. After reinserting the battery and restoring power, go into BIOS, set XMP to 1, verify boot order, and proceed. If stable and XMP functions, attempt the OC on the graphics card if necessary.
Confirm that no undervolts or manual adjustments are applied to the core, SOC, or memory.
Yes, AMD CPUs generally work well with standard memory types right out of the box when using AMP, without needing extra timing adjustments.
@Applefreak @svmlegacy Thanks for the advice. Bit stumped as doesn't seemed to have worked :/. Checked that I don't have a manual OC on my CPU or GPU, dont appear to have any under volts either. I have also re-inserted the sticks and reset the bios back to factory also. When selecting XMP this time i didn't get a hard shut down, instead it was just a prolonged boot, but my values are still the same: 2133Mhz, NB 1064.5 Cas 15.0
I updated using a USB flash drive and refreshed again. Experimented with BIOS settings and managed the system to boot with 2800MHz memory, which seems better than before. The CPUZ readings are confusing—I’m not sure about the changes. NB: DRAM is now at 1397.2MHz, CAS latency at 20.0.
