It's the first time this has occurred. I'm unsure what might be causing it. Corrupted files or GPU/RAM issues are possibilities. Are there any fixes you've tried so far?
Uncertain about its impact, Ryzens pay close attention to RAM specifications. Verify if your RAM model and part number appear on the Qualified Vendor List for your board and processor (5900X uses Vermeer). I encountered some unusual problems with my 5900X setup that were caused by unstable RAM not meeting QVL requirements. EDIT: Checked your PCPP list. Your SKU is F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC, but it isn’t on the board’s QVL. F4-3600C16D-16GTZN without the C does, though. It’s a 2x8 single-rank package. I’m also noticing some odd timing behavior for kits I haven’t seen before. You might consider using one or two DIMMs and turning off DOCP to determine if the issue persists. If a single DIMM is responsible, you could isolate it by testing each one individually. Updated September 22, 2022 by An0maly_76 Added details
You're wondering if your RAM setup is included in the QVL list and whether that might be causing issues. It hasn't happened before, so you're concerned about recurrence. You have a G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz with 16GB (2x8GB) in an X570-E gaming motherboard. The question is if this particular combination is known to have problems.
The QVL lists your RAM options. If your SKU matches the one on PCPartPicker, it might not appear here. A kit without a C at the end is suggested, though the meaning of "C" isn't clear. RAM from Ryzens and Ryzen boards can be particular. I'm unsure about compatibility without QVL confirmation. Some work fine, others cause problems. My board took weeks to stabilize before issues appeared. Any questionable parts should be tested elsewhere. Updated September 22, 2022 by An0maly_76
@An0maly_76 I know you like to routinely bring up this whole RAM story (I think i've read it in 10-15 threads now) but in this case, I don't think you're helping here. The issue at hand is very clearly a GPU issue as its a classic failure mode with artifacts on the screen. Also I can't even tell you how many PC's ive built in the last 10-15 years and never looked at a QVL list.. Anyway, @qboIodp that's almost certainly a GPU issue but while you're at it just to say you did it, can't hurt to swap cables and inputs.
I'm bringing attention to a possible concern so we can rule it out. If it isn't the issue, then it's not the problem. I've heard from others that it wasn't my concern, but it turned out to be exactly that. No need for blame—just sharing the thought.
It seems like a typical GPU issue. Consider using DDU and reinstalling the drivers as suggested by another user. If the problem persists, check for software-related fixes. Running a Linux USB can help determine if the hardware is at fault; if so, it may be beyond repair unless overheating is the cause—verify temperatures then. For integrated graphics systems (like most Intel CPUs), switching to an external GPU might resolve the issue, possibly requiring BIOS adjustments. If this works, the problem likely lies elsewhere. If you lack an integrated GPU, try connecting another one or using a friend’s device. Just ensure you can confirm the source of the issue.
It seems there was an unexpected error, specifically PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. This might point to a possible RAM problem. Could it be related to another issue you're experiencing?
