Issues with BSOD on Asus B350-F Gaming Motherboard with RAM
Issues with BSOD on Asus B350-F Gaming Motherboard with RAM
Bought a rig last week; everything functions properly except for the inability to stabilize RAM at 3200Mhz on this motherboard. I consistently encounter BSODs with various error messages. I followed these troubleshooting steps in sequence:
- Flashed BIOS (updated to version 4207)
- Installed new chipset drivers
- Applied all Windows updates
- Updated video card driver
- Changed RAM profile from auto to 3200Mhz (experienced frequent BSODs)
- Attempted to set DOCP profile to 3200Mhz, which caused a bluescreen immediately
- Left BIOS RAM settings on Auto mode; system booted and gaming worked fine
- Reseated RAM and tested one stick at a time across all four slots, trying various configurations with identical results
Hardware details:
- AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
- Asus Strix B350-F Gaming Motherboard
- G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)- (F4-3200C16D-16GTZKW)
- SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 2280 500GB PCIe Gen3. X4, NVMe SSD - (MZ-V7E500BW)
- MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 2070 (Armor 8G OC)
- Corsair CP-9020056-NA RM850 PSU
Possibly the issue lies with the RAM voltage settings. Memtest86 reported no errors during four passes. There are few threads for this exact configuration, hoping someone can assist in getting the RAM profile optimized or help with future overclocking of the chip and graphics card. This BSOD problem is quite frustrating. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
I haven't attempted that before; in DOCP it isn't a supported profile, but I might attempt to switch it from auto to 2933 this evening.
