The initial issue arose when I realized my 3600Mhz RAM was actually operating at 2666 MHz. After some research, I discovered I needed to activate XMP settings. Since XMP wasn’t listed in my BIOS, I enabled a pre-configured DCOP profile, which effectively replaced the XMP function for AMD systems. This adjustment increased the RAM speed to 3800.

For a while, everything seemed normal as I performed light tasks. However, during a game session of Smite, about ten minutes into the match, the PC restarted unexpectedly. Initially, I dismissed it as a minor problem, but it became a recurring issue.

At first, I suspected a temperature-related problem. I began monitoring temperatures closely while performing various activities, and even before the system crashed, temperatures consistently hovered around 60°C.

I’m uncertain about further steps, as my experience with computer settings is limited. I’m seeking guidance without advanced knowledge, so I hope you can assist.

Thanks in advance, and please be cautious—my understanding of PC hardware isn’t very deep.

Here’s a parts list for reference:

DOCP standard and memory frequency set to 3600. Remain on auto. Would you like me to try this? If you already have a DOCP profile at 3600, use that. I don’t know your BIOS, so I can’t confirm the available options.

I adjusted the memory speed to DDR4-3600Mhz and kept other settings at auto, the same outcome occurs. I’ll request more BIOS details so you’re aware of my current configuration.

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M2D3600C18 Timing 18-22-22-42 CAS Latency 18 Voltage 1.35V Likely Micron(?), not Samsung b-die Review links provided. Compatibility noted for AMD X570 in reviews. Shown as functional on certain platforms. If manually configured to DDR4 3600MT/s, adjust IF to 1800MHz and voltage to 1.35V; default settings should match 18-22-22-42. Upgrading RAM to 3600MT/s without correct voltage may result in a black screen and require CMOS reset. Ensure proper slot usage; test one stick at a time if issues persist. Overclocking guide available for Corsair. For persistent problems, contact support or return for replacement.
