The RAM is demanding higher voltage during startup.
The RAM is demanding higher voltage during startup.
PC began looping immediately after the Windows and GPU driver update, returning to UEFI. It started working properly without DOCP enabled, but a bootloop resumed when DOCP was turned on until I switched to safe mode. After adjusting the DRAM voltage from 1.35 to 1.37 volts, everything functioned correctly. Could indicate a faulty RAM stick? No hardware changes have been made in more than a year.
It seems like the issue might not be too serious, right? Like, I've had problems where my RAM came in different types and sizes, and I never got past XMP settings except for 1.36v. If this continues, it could suggest something about the CPU performance.
It occurred once more. The PC froze during startup until I reached 1.4v. My 5900X is nearly four years old—does it really wear out so fast? I have PBO turned on, but nothing seems to be happening.
