RAM overclocked, game crashes occur. Memory test confirms no issues.
RAM overclocked, game crashes occur. Memory test confirms no issues.
Hello.
I recently attempted to overclock my RAM using A-XMP, but at 2933MHz in PUBG and other games it froze or crashed randomly. After running a MemTest, the results showed no errors after four passes. I have no prior experience with overclocking and my CPU is already running at stock speeds. Should I consider turning off A-XMP and manually adjusting the clock speed to improve stability?
My motherboard should support overclocked RAM up to 3400MHz, and my RAM is 3000MHz.
Manual OC + 1 – Have you verified the stability of your XMP OC with realbench/aida64? If not, do it. Noticing a crash during testing indicates your xmp profile isn’t stable. Consider adjusting DOCP timing and VRAM voltage in BIOS. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-ucP3qtYlQ
MemTest indicates your hardware memory is functioning properly without any issues. Consider adjusting XMP and increasing the voltage from 1.35 to 1.37 to observe improvements. Also, confirm whether this applies to both sticks.

The memory test indicates your hardware memory is fine; it doesn't put a strain on it. Consider adjusting XMP and increasing the voltage from 1.35 to 1.37 to check if it improves performance. Also, you didn't mention if this applies only to two sticks?
I see now. I wasn't aware that, thanks for clarifying. It's two sticks, each with 8GB.
ole.martin.ibsen responded with additional details about the test results and hardware configuration.
JamesSneed responded to olle.martin.ibsen, noting that the memory test shows your hardware is fine and not stressed. Suggested adjusting XMP settings and increasing the voltage from 1.35 to 1.37 to see if it improves performance. Asked whether the issue applies only to two sticks and mentioned having the latest 7A34v19 BIOS, referencing recent updates with AGESA fixes for memory stability. Also confirmed the system has two sticks, each with 8GB, and inquired about the latest BIOS version.
Question from ole.martin.ibsen
Overclocked RAM causing crashes in games. MemTest reported no errors.
I recently attempted to overclock my RAM using A-XMP, but at 2933MHz PUBG and other titles the system would freeze or crash unpredictably. After running a MemTest, it displayed zero errors after four passes. I’m new to overclocking and my CPU is running at standard speeds. Should I disable A-XMP and manually adjust the clock speed for better game stability?
I assume my motherboard can support overclocked RAM up to 3400MHz, while my RAM is 3000MHz.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz
CPU: Ryzen (picky about RAM, especially when overclocked)
Do you have the exact model numbers for both components listed on the motherboard?
