problem i am having with csgo since 7 months please help im so frustrated :(
Here’s a rewritten version of your text, focusing on clarity and flow:
“Let's troubleshoot this issue. It sounds like there might be a problem with how your RAM is configured. Specifically, the XMP profile – which allows your RAM to run at its advertised speed – isn't working correctly.
First, let’s try a few things. Can you verify that your motherboard supports XMP? Also, could you tell me what BIOS version you are currently running? ASRock has released several updates for the Z370 Pro4 series to improve RAM compatibility (you can find them here: [link]).
Currently, you've updated the Intel Microcode driver and Driver Boost Pro. That’s great! Let’s start with some basic diagnostics. Can you run a memory test using Memtest86?
To help me understand the situation better, could you provide the following information:
* What is your BIOS version?
* Do you have the option to enable or disable the XMP profile in your BIOS settings? (It might be set to ‘auto’ which can sometimes cause issues).
* Could you describe what you're seeing – are there any error messages, unusual behavior, or crashes?”
Would you like me to elaborate on any specific aspect of this troubleshooting process?
The Paladin :
This is not a windows issue... this is a hardware issue.
"driver boost" is pure garbage and no one should EVER use that software.
when you boot in bios, what is your ram recognized at (speed wise)
hey bro , check my last update in the edit of the post
There is no option to turn off the XMP profile; it’s either to put it on or make it “auto.” I tried to put 2133, 2666, and 3000 – they lag at all of these with XMP profile on or “auto mode.” When you say “I tried to put 2133, 2666, and 3000,” what do you mean your performing, as either your changing settings in your PC or switching ram stick and I have no idea which it is. I am going to refer you to your motherboard manual https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370%20P...asp#Manual in the OC menu under DRAM Timing Configuration Load XMP Setting Load XMP settings to overclock the memory and perform beyond standard specifications, and DRAM Frequency Clock Select Auto for optimized settings; nothing else needs to be tweaked. If you changed ANYTHING, I suggest resetting cmos and restart fresh because something you change (if you did) is messing up.
The system utilizes XMP profiles for memory overclocking, allowing users to achieve higher speeds than the base settings. However, inconsistencies exist between reported and actual RAM speeds, potentially due to factors like poor grounding or motherboard limitations. Attempting various RAM configurations (2133, 2666, 3000) resulted in lag, indicating a problem beyond simply enabling XMP. Resetting CMOS is suggested as a troubleshooting step for any unintended changes. The motherboard manual recommends using the “Load XMP Setting” and “DRAM Frequency Clock Select Auto” options for optimal performance. If issues persist after following these recommendations, further investigation into potential grounding problems or hardware limitations might be necessary.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and removing redundancies:
The issue could be with your RAM. There isn't a way to manually disable XMP profiles; you either enable them or set it to “auto,” which effectively turns off overclocking.
You tested RAM speeds of 2133MHz, 2666MHz, and 3000MHz using the XMP profile enabled, and all experienced lag. This suggests a problem with your system's ability to handle those higher speeds.
To troubleshoot, first reset your motherboard’s BIOS settings from the default (CMOS reset). This often resolves unexpected behavior.
Regarding CS:GO, you were experiencing frequent game corruption despite reinstalling your operating system and Steam files. Swapping out the RAM resolved this issue – it indicates a potential problem with the memory itself.
Always test RAM sticks individually to isolate the faulty module. Also, ensure your motherboard's DRAM frequency is set to “Auto” if using XMP profiles, as manually setting frequencies beyond what the board supports can cause instability. Refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions (link provided).
Given you’re not a native English speaker, be patient and focus on systematically eliminating potential causes. Electrical grounding issues could potentially contribute to problems, though it's unlikely to be the primary factor.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and removing redundancies:
The troubleshooting process began with examining potential RAM issues, given frequent problems with CS:GO. Swapping out RAM sticks was suggested as a key test. The user initially attempted running memory at 2133MHz, 2666MHz, and 3000MHz with XMP profiles enabled (“on” or “auto”), but experienced lag in all cases.
The importance of correctly configuring the RAM – specifically using the XMP profile – was emphasized. The user’s motherboard manual (ASRock Z370 Pro4) recommends loading the XMP settings for overclocking and utilizing the "Auto" setting for optimized performance. Any manual adjustments beyond this were cautioned against, suggesting a potential issue with altered BIOS settings that could be resolved by resetting the CMOS.
The user expressed confusion about the terminology (“auto” meaning off or on) and requested clarification regarding testing methods – specifically whether it involved changing RAM settings or swapping sticks.
Additionally, the user noted electrical issues within their building (experiencing shocks when touching outlets), which they suspected might be impacting system performance. The user had previously tried running with a single RAM stick (8GB) but this did not resolve the CS:GO problems. The user’s native English language skills were acknowledged and a request made to avoid harsh criticism.
drakehotbling :
if by one ram stick you mean only to put 1 ram in my motherboard which is 8GB then nope i didnt try that
Then do try that. It's mentioned already a few times.Make sure to switch them as well.

The Paladin :
also what bios version do you have on your bios ?
I ask because on the manufacturers web site I see a string of series of bios upgrades one after the other related to making this motherboard more compatible with ram types
https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370%20P...x.asp#BIOS
anyway , latest version i installed is Windows® 3.20 Update Intel Microcode and i downloaded it from the link u gave me
There is a later bios now so try that as well. "3.30 from 2018/12/25"
I believe he means to say he only has 1 stick of ram because it is 1x8gb, and the reason he did not try it
