9700XT constantly crashing

[BUDFORCE]

I have an AMD 5800x (so exactly the same CPU) with a mild over clock, 7900xt and an 850w power supply and have absolutely no issues, you do not need a 1000w power supply.......

Edit: oh, and it's roughly a 15 year old Corsair HX 850.

remove xmp/reset bios to stock

RAM doesn't often go from good to bad, but it can happen. Sometimes it's not even RAM but memory controller or motherboard having trouble. You can try them on stock non-XMP settings, see how they behave.

I haven't changed the bios yet i tried turning off XMP no joy. I install only one ram module and it passed the test time to test the others...

Corsair are pretty good with RMA's so they'll probably send you out a new set if you contact them/start the process.

AM4 can be a little finicky with more than two dimms however, so that might be the problem.

Is this a Focus GX-650, or a Focus Plus Gold?

You have 4 sticks, generally recommended to run with 2 sticks. The IMC can sometimes be flaky even if all of the sticks are fine.

But I have been running 4 dimms for years, only noticed issues since around the time I upgraded my GPU.

A more powerful GPU means there's potentially more strain on the CPU, memory controllers can also degrade over time.

Fingers crossed you just need to replace a bad stick of RAM, but switching to 2x16gb might be necessary.

I see, well I tested two Ram sticks and the pc shutdown, no blue screen? I repalced that RAM stick and the test passed. So it might be that one ram stick, I need to test one more but I think thats enough for today will report back tomorrow!

Thank you all btw, you have been very helpful. I think i will give my GPU a little undervolt while im at it...
