Hi Guys, in desperate need of some help, I have recently spent a small fortune on a complete new setup for gaming!

Firstly my system will not run with any of the latest BIOS's from Asus I tried them all! I am about 4/5 BIOS version lower than the latest and finally at the only one that is stable. I was getting non boots, partial boots and random boots constant.

So I'm stuck at this version.

Reformatted and Installed Win10 Pro 5 times now!

Memory is in slots, a2 + b2

So my issue is I keep getting memory issue errors and making game crashes when playing games, and only when playing games. :confused:

I'm certain it is my settings in BIOS to do with my D.O.C.P Auto Overclock and or a clash with my new PCie 4.0 SSD! something is not right!

When my BIOS settings are all at default.
My PC will boot in and memory frequency will be running at combined auto speed of 2666Mhz. (why does the memory not just normally run at 3600Mhz? when that is my memory speed?)

And of course I want my RAM running at its full potential of 3600Mhz.
So I set the D.O.C.P to Auto tune and I get this message:
https://ibb.co/4tWCzwb
Then Save Changes and this is what is said is being changed.
https://ibb.co/wMX0JzB

Boots me in and when I check in on task Manager I am running at 3600Mhz,
but then at complete random intervals games will crash with a memory error!

I saw on another post that setting D.O.C.P only sets half the settings and not the other half of settings or something? is this the problem is there more I should change manualy change? something conflicting? or is it solely clashing with the SSD?!

Any help is much appreciated guys:(

You want to turn on an XMP profile if there is one. I'm going through the same, on the asrock taichi thread in cpu board. If the problem persists it's definitely worth installing memtest on a usb (it will reduce the capacity of the usb stick though), windows memory diagnostics didn't pick the error up for me, it took 3 passes on memtest to show up. 3600mhz ram unstable at 3600, 3400 and 3200 but stable at 3000. At least now I can confidently return the sticks.
 
Because XMP is actually overclocking your system so the system will not "default" to an overclocked state. Although they sell RAM at higher frequencies, the RAM is guaranteed to work at those settings but the rest of your system is not. So what is probably failing here is not the RAM but the motherboard CPU - it refuses to overclock. In that case what you need to do is achieve the same performance by tweaking the XMP settings. Manually overclock the RAM starting with the same settings as XMP, then tweak them in a downwards direction until you get a stable system. You can probably get the same performance just with different settings.
 
Thanks guys great help so, i am stable now at 3466MhZ!
Although on another thread i poster over in "General Hardware" someone has replied saying 3600Mhz is actually the sweet spot for 3xxx Ryzen series processors and that i should just increase Voltages to hopefully achieve the OC.?

set Infinity fabric to 1800, 3600 might need more voltage, your safe up to 1.39-1.40 day to day use
soc voltage 1.1
if in doubt use dram calculater if you need more information download Thaiphoon as well to identify your ram
