Hello everyone! The system specifications are as follows: R7 2700 stock setting, B450 Tomahawk MSI 8x1 GB Oloy RAM, single channel at 2933 MHz, MSI RX 570 with 4GB Team Group, 2 TB Seagate HDD, Power U9 500W, Bequiet. I attempted to configure an XMP profile in the BIOS for higher speeds, but pressing the Del key didn't trigger any changes despite entering BIOS. The BIOS clock was active, and after booting Windows 10, I set the memory to 3000 MHz in Ryzen Master. However, the system didn't function properly because the correct speed should be 1467 MHz. I had to reset the CMOS and restart BIOS settings for it to work. Once that was done, I could successfully set the profile at 2933 MHz on single channel. I was considering replacing it with another identical stick, but now I'm unsure whether buying two 8x2 GB units would be better. I've experienced strange issues from the start, including random freezes where no input was received but fans and lights continued. The system generally runs well 98% of the time, except for those occasional problems, which are quite bothersome. The motherboard is new, and I noticed similar behavior on a B450M HDV R4.0 board. Questions: How can I be certain the issue isn<|pad|>?I've run MEMTEST86 and everything looked normal. Could a faulty SSD be the cause? This Teamgroup SSD doesn't show any DRAM cache, so it behaves similarly to an HDD. It seems to reach 100% speed when opening Davinci Resolve, even without using it, but then it becomes very sluggish if I skip optimization. I've narrowed down the possible culprits to these components. The PSU didn't seem to affect the Haswell base system I've used before.
