Possible RAM issues

MaXxBoulton · 1 Oct 2019 at 07:44

The problem could be anything, I get BSOD's at random when playing BFV. I cant for the life of me workout what it is. It's just that game and maybe ones a week it happens.

I would say keep your phone to hand and then it happens photo the error code see if you can find a pattern.

I would stress test ever part of the system. Ram, cpu, all storage drives and so on

I will as you say take a note of all error message but generally I will just live with it.
Thanks for all your help.

Shortly after booting this morning I had a BSOD with Memory Management being the error message.

Disable xmp so your running at 2400mhz or 2133mhz.

Have you run the ryzen memory tool. It may just be the ram is unstable in the new board at its xmp speed/timings

XMP is disabled and I have no idea what the Ryzen memory tool is but will Google.

Does this mean anything to you as it is well past my pay grade. lol.

Try setting xmp in bios then lower the ram speed to 2600mhz. Ryzen 1 and none samsung B-die dosent play very nice together.

have you tried removing and reseating the ram

I have enabled XMP but I cannot see how to lower the speed as that is greyed out.
Oh and I think the Rysen 5 2600 is 2nd gen if that makes a difference?

No but will do so.

Okay so whilst going in to reseat the RAM I thought why not swap the ram in my gaming PC with the RAM in the secondary PC as it is the same RAM and I am thinking that if the issues transfer over then I can assume it is a RAM issue if not then I will need to think again.

Not really, ryzen master shows a first gen cpu. It was the generation on cpu that was not very good with high speed ram. Some people got passed 3000mhz with the right ram sticks but most had to sit around 2600mhz.

When you enable xmp there will/should be an option to change the ram ratio that will increase or decrease the speed

If you fit different ram run ryzen master again. Same ram dosent always have the same chips

The Ryzen software has dropdown menus which I discovered by chance and looked up my CPU and that said 2nd gen and I also needed to find my RAM which was Hynix AFR and change that in the dropdown menu
Although the image does not show it Memory Frequency is grayed out so I cannot alter it.

You need to chance the "system memory multiplier"

Oddly I could not change that from 'Auto'
But I have just updated the BIOS and the speed has been auto downgraded to 2400 and the XMP is disabled.
So perhaps leave it for now and see how it behaves over the next few days.
