my friend's computer is showing blue screen errors, crashing often with the new setup. he installed the latest drives without wiping storage after the upgrade. he swapped from a Ryzen 3600 to a 7900X with 32GB DDR4 3200, then upgraded to 32GB DDR5 6400, keeping his 3090. he replaced the cooling with an Arctic Freeze 360mm AIO and reached temperatures around 94°C during Star Citizen. i helped him lower the voltage on the 7900X to about 80°C under heavy load. when DOCP is enabled, it causes boot loops. manually overclocking to 6400 or 6200/6000 still leads to crashes. i’ve tried reseating connectors, adjusting RAM settings, updating BIOS, and even removed Armoury Crate thinking it was the problem. it’s clear from playing Rust that it crashes frequently, especially in RAM-heavy games. Star Citizen should work temporarily but will occasionally fail. it seems more likely a RAM issue than power or overheating. his PSU is 1000W, and we took out the MSI afterburner, which helped reduce crashes while monitoring. still, nothing fully stabilizes. i’m planning to write this post to check for solutions before deciding to wipe the drives just in case something lingers causing the malfunction. all specs are listed below: asus Prime X670-P Ryzen 7900X 32GB (2x16), G-Skill Trident Z RGB 6400MHz, EVGA RX 3090, Corsair RM1000X 2x1TB, 2.5" SSD, Artic Freeze 360 AIO.
we share the same configuration, just using an asus mbo and a gigabyte aorus pro ax. both have identical cpu and ram, though mine are overclocked to their limits while his isn't.
This seems a bit confusing. Can you clarify what you're referring to by "overclocked at their max Potential"? Most 7000 series CPUs mainly improve performance through voltage adjustments rather than significant overclocking. Have you applied any BIOS updates to his motherboard? They've made many enhancements since release. Besides, if the BIOS update doesn't resolve the issue, a faulty RAM module could also be the problem.
You've increased stability settings on your rig. The CPU is at 5.7 and RAM at 6400. An ASUS BIOS update to version 1616 (likely a typo for 1.0.0.7) was applied, which includes DDR5 optimizations for AMD CPUs but didn't bring noticeable improvements. Possible issues might be with the RAM or motherboard. Clearing the drives could help if the problem persists.
He’d likely just need to reinstall Windows. The other drives should remain untouched. What operating system was he using prior to switching to AM5? I usually suggest clean installs during platform changes, but be sure to back up important data. If the BIOS update didn’t resolve the issue, you might want to test different RAM options from the QVL list on his board. I’d stick with 6000 RAM unless stability is a top priority.
he moved from AM4 to AM5, i suggested a clean install during the upgrade, but he didn’t want the trouble of uploading so many files. i’ll handle that. i’ll check the QVL list to see what’s going on. probably I’ll lower his clock closer to 5000 MHz if it continues. it was steady at 4800 MHz originally, but since he bought a 6400 MHz unit, i wanted to bring him up to that level.
Are you able to test HIS Memory kit in YOUR PC? Find out if it is faulty RAM. I'm suspecting either the RAM or the motherboard (as in, ASUS BIOS). We have an FPGA Build server using a 7900X + Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX. So far, stable since April 2023...after we updated the BIOS.
reviewing the qvl list shows the ram support it has. I’m pretty sure it’s a poor build. It seems like I might be getting a bad motherboard overall. Right away, I think my luck with mobos is off. The first one he got in had bent pins and wouldn’t post from the factory (Gigabyte Aorus AX X670).
I'm actually in Texas and I'm in South Carolina. My Aorus Pro board and mine are all stable too. I told him not to buy an ASUS board for the 7000 series, but he thought I meant MSI. I suggested Gigabyte, but he ended up getting a bad experience with bent pins. Personally, I've been using Gigabyte gear for a while now and it's been great for me.
I tried adjusting the settings in various configurations starting from A2 B2, just flipping left to right and so on, but that didn’t help. Then I switched to A1 B1, which also failed. Eventually, going back to the original setup resolved the issue and allowed it to start up.
