Hello, first time poster.

I recently upgraded from a 3900x to a 5950x.

Mobo: MSI x570 Ace
32 GB Gskill royal trident 3600 16-16-16
2 Nvme and 1 sata SSD
850W PSU
GTX 3090



When I first swapped the processor, it ran ok for the first few hours. Then I would get a BSOD with either Nvlddmkm. sys. Or NO GREATER OR EQUAL error. Or Critical error failed.


First instinct was to swap the GPU with my old 2080 super, same issue.
Then started taking out each ram stick, each ram would would post but result in blue screen

I went ahead and bought a ASUS VIII crosshair thinking the board was the issue. However, the same issues remain with BSOD.

I went into Bios and swapped the default voltage (which was 1.5V) to 1.3. And the ram from 1.2 to 1.4

It was stable for a bit, but ultimately still BSOD.

When I turn off settings such as SMT, the PC now becomes stable. However, anytime I try to play a serious game like Godfall or Ghostrunner, the game immediately crashes. What is weird is it doesn't happen on all games just most. Wow for instance can run without a hitch, and a few fighting games. Anything else can't be ran.


I have new ram coming tomorrow to test if this is it, but I can't help but feeling I am just rebuilding a PC for a failing processor that needs to be RMA'd.

Thank you for reading. Any thoughts?

The processor can now run windows, but anytime I kick up a game it immediately crashes.

Did you do a clean install of Win 10 after swapping the CPU / mobo or just recycled the old installation ?

They are not. But even if I put 1 of each stick in, it doesn't matter. Still same BSOD.

They are both 3600 16-16-16. The only difference is I got both Gold and silver 16GB so I could have 1 gold 1 silver in each slot. (my friends talked me into it, don't tell me this is the issue lmao)

To be completely accurate. Here are the direct links

You should try 2 sticks of the same colo only. There is no guarantee for 2 kits to work together.
So try a "single color" only kit in slots A2 and B .
It could be the issue

How would that be different from me using 1 stick at a time? I've assumed the same, but these sticks worked just fine on my 3900x.

Wouldn't the same issue occur from using 2 sticks instead of 1 regardless of color?
