Hello. Two months ago I purchased a new set of RAM sticks—16GB Corsair Vengeance LX CL15, 3000MHz, 1.35V. Everything functioned properly after I overclocked them to 2933MHz on an ASUS Prime 320M-K motherboard. However, two days ago a malfunction began. When I power on my PC, it briefly starts and then shuts off before restarting again, but this time the boot process takes longer. I encounter the error message "overclocking failed press f1 to re-setup." I’m unsure what to do now; everything worked well for a month, but things have changed.

Your recall appears to be inconsistent. It might have worked well for a couple of months, but it's unlikely you checked for stability under stress. Have you used memtest? For now, consider setting your memory to default values.

I tried memtest today, ran it for about five loops and no errors showed up. I also increased the drive voltage to 1.4 and it worked, so that voltage isn’t a problem. I plan to test tomorrow morning to check if it still functions without errors. But I’m confused—if it was unstable, wouldn’t my games crash?

Achieving long-term stable overclocking can be challenging. There are times when playing a game runs smoothly while your system crashes on the desktop. If increasing the voltage to 1.4 made a difference, it probably indicates an unstable overclock. When I upgraded my memory speed from 1600 to 2133 MHz DDR3, the desktop would crash but games didn't. I had to lower the voltage or stop further increases.
