Setting up fresh RAM causes BSOD problems.
Setting up fresh RAM causes BSOD problems.
Hello, your PC has been upgraded several times. The specs you mentioned are correct: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, and other components. It initially worked fine, but after replacing the RAM with Tridentz RGB 3600Mhz, you experienced boot issues. You noticed the BIOS listing shows the new RAM but not the old one, which might be causing the problem. This could indicate a mismatch in memory recognition. Please check your RAM placement and ensure it matches the BIOS settings. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician for further diagnosis.
Honestly it should not, a QVL list is just a list of brands/product that has been tested and verified by the manufacturer to work. Not being does mean it wont work. Is the RAM seated properly and if have reseated it, try and place the old RAM back in to see if it boots. It is possible you just have a lemon RAM and just need to swap it for a fresh pair. Is your mobo or cpu rated to handle 3600Mhz RAM? if not swap back to your old RAM.
I attempted to reconfigure it. Swapped slot 1 and 3 to 2 and 4, but issues persisted. For the motherboard, I connected an Aorus Gaming 5 Wifi and it confirmed it supports 3600 MHz (OC). That’s what I thought meant. Shouldn’t it work at the default 3600 MHz without overclocking? I enabled the XMP profile to reach that speed. For the CPU, it’s an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with specs showing 3200 MHz, but I read somewhere it can still support 3600 MHz memory. Could the RAM speed be causing the problem?
Place the unit in slots 2 and 4. Activate XMP. Set DRAM voltage to 1.35 and SOC voltage to 1.05.
OC supports high-speed RAM, though it doesn't automatically set the standard 3600Mhz frequency.
You received a 3600Mhz from the XMP profile. This indicates your processor is running at its maximum supported frequency, which may or may not be considered overclocked depending on your use case. It could also reflect the 3200Mhz limit set by your AMD Ryzen 5 3600 chip.
Sorry, I don’t have the specs yet. I’ll check later and then head out to pick up the kids.
