Hi all, I am getting an odd error (C5) when I turn the PC on. It seems to be a RAM issue and was wondering if anyone has stumbled upon this or knows how to resolve it?

Motherbard: ASUS B650E-E
RAM: Corsair Dominator CL30 6000
CPU: AMD 7800X3D

I tried different RAM slots but get the same. Going to try a BIOS update next.
 
A google of this error suggests you try:

1. Run with one stick in the correct slot for one stick (usually the second from CPU).
2. Clear cmos.
3. After it boots, shut down.
4. Put the second stick in.

Remove all devices from USB ports (maybe they had something in the flash port?).

Make sure the sticks are fully seated, apparently this is trickier than it seems and one side can be seated more easily than the other?

Wait for longer (someone mentioned it took an hour on first boot :confused: :o ).
 
Thanks all, I did a CMOS reset and waited for a while and the error code disappeared. It could have been that but I did take the RAM out and put them back in again. Successfully updated BIOS too. Now windows install.

Thanks again all :)
