Restart with XMP enabled
Restart with XMP enabled
Are you experiencing a restart when enabling XMP? Could you share your CPU, motherboard, and RAM details? It seems you might be pushing performance beyond the rated limits on ASUS boards (and possibly other models I haven’t used much). Running OCCT could help identify issues that standard Windows diagnostics might overlook.
CompuTer restart isn't simply after turning on XMP; it happens randomly, likely during a YouTube video or just browsing the web. Or perhaps, in very rare cases, while playing Mobo: Gigabyte B450M S2H with 3600x32GB and 3200MHz Gskill Ripwajs RX 6600xt, running OCCT didn't reveal any issues.
You're using two sticks, and the frequency is around 2666mhz.
No logs appear in the Event Viewer near the restart times. The system displays the usual Windows restart interface instead of a black screen.
The logs indicate that Windows simply shuts down and requires a restart.
I encountered an unusual issue where overclocking the RAM led to CPU instability, while RAM itself remained stable (passed tests). Discovering that lowering the CPU voltage (negative Vcore offset) resolves the problem. Additionally, the CPU can become unstable even when BIOS defaults are optimized. It seems my motherboard tends to apply excessive voltages to both CPU and RAM. This might not be relevant to your situation.
