What issues are you facing with the system?
I built this system several months ago and it has been functioning mostly smoothly. It comes with a Ryzen 7600, XFX 7600 XT, and 32GB GSkill DDR5-6000 RAM. I've experienced a few random crashes—once while playing a game and another time when trying to wake the computer, which either required a hard reset or simply restarted. After a brief 30-second boot with red lights on the motherboard, it eventually started up normally.
Over the weekend, I encountered an error stating "The instruction at 0x000...The memory could not be written." Some research suggested it might relate to paging sizes. My OS reports "System Managed" for virtual memory, while my storage drives indicate "None." Should I adjust any settings?
What further actions should I consider to identify the cause of these issues? I've heard about stress testing, memory diagnostics, and using the command prompt for cleanup. I don’t want to jump into random fixes that could worsen the situation or waste time.
I built this setup several months ago and it has been performing quite smoothly. It features a Ryzen 7600, XFX 7600 XT, and 32GB GSkill DDR5-6000 RAM. When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's important to provide detailed system specifications. Please list your build details as follows: CPU, CPU cooler, motherboard, RAM, SSD/HDD, GPU, power supply, chassis, operating system, monitor. Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. Also, let me know if AMD's E.X.P.O/X.M.P is enabled in your BIOS. If you have .dmp files on your system, feel free to share them so we can pinpoint the issue related to drivers or applications.
I'm guessing you're thinking your CPU is a Ryzen 5 7600. The specifications indicate a maximum guaranteed memory transfer rate of 5200MT/s (5200MHz DDR). This is the speed AMD guarantees for the CPU, the highest rate it will accept for memory transfers. Most CPUs can handle higher rates, but these aren't guaranteed. If you're running at 6000MHz, you might be pushing your RAM beyond its safe limit, which could be the issue.
Begin by removing any overclocked RAM via DOCP/XMP and setting it to its default speed (likely 4800MHz). If it runs smoothly there, try increasing it to see if stability improves. If it remains stable at that speed, the problem might lie elsewhere. Consider running a RAM test with Passmark Memtest86 for further verification.
CPU is Ryzen 5 7600
CPU cooler is ThermalRight Assassin King 120
Motherboard is ASRock B650M Pro RS
RAM is GSKill DDR5-6000 16GBx2
Storage includes an OS drive on Crucial M2, plus three SSDs (probably a Samsung and two ADATA drives)
GPU is XFX 6700 XT (original post had a typo)
Power supply is EVGA 650 BS (~6 months old)
Chassis is Deep Cool 370
Operating system is Windows 11
Monitor is LG 4K (model uncertain)
I enabled XMP in the BIOS. I don’t know much about .dmp files, but if there’s a method to retrieve them, I’d be glad to share.
Thanks!
First of all, yes, Ryzen 5 7600. I hadn't considered the RAM speed being too high. All the information I read was about enabling XMP, so I did that immediately. Will there be any noticeable difference if I run it slower? I’m not sure I’m making significant changes and I can always adjust settings. I’ve been gaming on an RX 580 for a couple of months, so I’m used to that.
Here’s the link to my RAM configuration.
It seems you’re correct that 4800 is the standard setting. I’ll stick with that and monitor the performance. As mentioned, the issues are occasional and not too frequent, making it difficult to pinpoint the cause. I’ll also run Memtest86 after turning off XMP.
Any thoughts on the paging size for the memory? I’m not very familiar with how the RAM interacts with storage drives, so I didn’t want to risk anything.
Thanks for your assistance!
