Ryzen 5000 crashes - anyone getting them?

Hi

Just curious how many here with Ryzen 5000 CPU are getting frequent crashing?

I ask as a mate of mine just built a new PC using 5800X and is getting many crashes a day regardless of what he is doing. He seems to be getting a few of the documented problems from Reddit etc too like USB ports disconnecting etc.

I seem to think its faulty CPU more that anything as I find it very hard to believe that its mobo or RAM or power related, when all the reports seem to have many different parts from manufacturers with the same issues but only common theme is CPU being a Ryzen 5000

I guess there are a few owners of 5000 series CPUY on here so interested to hear from you if you are having issues or if its all good?

I hear talk of turning off pcie4, altering voltages, changing RAM speeds - none of these should be needed and I cant see it happening to every single owner of a 5000 chip - It has to be bad ones out there? No?

I have advised him to RMA the chip as bad but what's the likelihood of replacement doing it too?

With how many of these got sold across the world if these problems were across them all I would have expected it to be common knowledge rather than hot topics on forums and reddit - so you guys having no issues is good to know. What chipsets you using? X570 or B550?

I reckon its just some bad chips that have made it into the wild with poor IOD dies.

Sorry - should have also asked what RAM speeds you are using? He has 3600mhz which some posts are saying doesnt work right (dont believe this myself at all) and dropping it from using the DOCP setting to just run standard solves it - again this points to faulty IOC to me as the FSB will be running slower....

Just to update on this - its a faulty CPU - he sent it back and replaced it with the warranty one and its working a treat - there are a number of cases like this now, 5000 series have some faulty chips out in the wild.
