Issues with the RAM in the Ryzen 5 1600 OG model
Issues with the RAM in the Ryzen 5 1600 OG model
CPU model: Ryzen 5 1600 upgraded to 3.4 GHz
Voltage: 1.3 V
Motherboard: Tomahawk B350 (Bios up to date, version 1.70)
Memory: DDR 4 Corsair LED Vengeance, part number CMU16GX4M2C3000C15
Clock speed: 15:15:15:36
RAM speed: 2133 MHz
RAM voltage: AUTO
Power supply: Deluxe 500 W
Temperature: Usually around 30°C, under load 50-52°C with GPU stress at 60°C
I experienced system shutdowns 2-5 times daily. The temperature remains low after the latest critical error in the event viewer: Kernel 41 error.
The motherboard listing doesn’t show RAM, but Corsair confirms compatibility with Ryzen.
I’m unsure what to do right now or if there’s a problem with this setup.
I noticed my PSU cable was too short, and a friend cut extra wires to reach the CPU for power, avoiding the need for a new PSU.
The PC started up fine afterward.
If anyone has suggestions, I’d be open to trying alternatives—like different RAM or a new PSU.

My RAM is listed as *; it seems compatibility depends on my Tomahawk B350, and from the RAM compatibility info it doesn’t support it.**
A deluxe 500w ?? With cables you've had to adapt to reach ??
Link us to it on a webshop.
Yeah that would be going straight in the bin if it were me .
Change the PSU to something decent & work from there , because while you're using that dire sounding thing its pointless trying to troubleshoot anything IMO
The ram is fine , works on the tomahawk fine , although most people are limited to running at 2666mhz max.
You also never mentioned your GPU model ??
I had another old power supply, so I extended its cables.
GPU Nvidia GTX 960
My PSU is quite outdated, about two years old.
This is the closest match to what mine looks like:

I was thinking of purchasing a better one, but I ended up needing additional components for my setup—like a bigger case or a compatible AM4 CPU fan—which didn’t leave much room for a more expensive PSU.
I’m aware how bad my PSU is, and I’ll definitely replace it soon. I hope this will fix the issue and avoid buying another set of RAM.
