[SOLVED] AMD Ryzen frequent BSOD errors

[shejin983]

My pc is AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, AMD RX 5700, ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Plus,
2 X 8 GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 DDR4 3600MHz 18-22-22-42. ...
I have increasingly frequent BSOD errors which freezes the computer regardless of whether it is under load or not.
Never noticed any heating issues.
Prime95 crashes most of the times while cpu stress testing.
It mostly happens while idle or while browsing.
Never had any issues while playing graphic intense games. But faced issues sometimes while playing Windows Spider Solitaire(XP version)
I tried updating BIOS, Graphics Driver and Chipset Driver.

My Findings:-

1. This doesn't relate to my SSD as I replaced it.
2. Prime95 CPU Torture Test is throwing errors most of the times.

rounding errors can be fixed by increasing voltage on cpu.

all the bsod can be caused by that error

amdppm is part of windows that talks to CPU.

Does it mean overclocking ? because I never overclocked before.

 

[Colif]

No, its more an adjustment in the bios. you don't change CPU speeds.

I will ask someone to show you what to change.

I am not certain myself. Just cause I know answer doesn't mean I know how to fix it.

You may not have this exact model but Asus bios are pretty much same across families, this might help next person - https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/..._TUF_GAMING_X570-PLUS_WI-FI_UM_WEB_060319.pdf

Still dont know how to increase voltage.. I am confused. Can you please help further

 

[Colif]

i did ask for help but its the time of night, most of the people I asked may not be here yet.

I have asked in 2 places now.

did you run memtest? it might be your ram
Try running memtest86 on each of your ram sticks, one stick at a time, up to 4 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher could be cause of the BSOD. Remove/replace ram sticks with errors. Memtest is created as a bootable USB so that you don’t need windows to run it

Prime 95 checks CPU & Ram so checking ram is okay will at least reduce choices of cause.

Great AMD utility named Ryzen Master can be downloaded. You can make a lot of tweaks with.

 

[Colif]

could use ryzen master, I have it even though I don't OC, I used it more to confirm cpu speeds were right

have a look at the section under Perform the overclock, shouldn't be any reason you can't just increase it one notch & try Prime 95 again. If you keep getting errors it could be the CPU to blame.

I assume it saves settings to bios

To slowly increase the voltage, click the “Up” button once in the “Voltage Control” section, which will move Ryzen Master to the next voltage preset. The general rule of thumb with Ryzen CPUs is to keep your CPU voltage below 1.35 volts, with 1.45 volts being the maximum. Using voltages beyond 1.45 volts can shorten the CPU’s lifespan.

I think the easy fix is Asus EZ System Tuning which is already in the BIOS. I changed the "Normal" mode to "Optimal" which increases the performance. So I am guessing it automatically increase voltage. I will let you know if it works. Do you think so ?
I am checking whether it worked or not.... so far, prime95 is not freezing anymore....but still has error in rounding.... but no more system freeze while torture test... so I am guessing this will resolve my problem... I will update soon

 

[Colif]

if you still getting errors in rounding, you are still going to get BSOD.

is your ram in xmp?

might want to reduce ram speed and run prime again and see if it still has errors

did you run memtest?

Yes memtest passed all 4 test with o errors..
I guess ram is not in xmp... i never changed anything in bios before... everything was in stock settings until yesterday...
Though I changed "AI Overclock tuner" to DOCP... for a while.. but I think I was unable to boot in that configuration, so I changed it back to "Auto"...

 

[Colif]

docp = xmp
its just what Asus call it

right now it could be ram, motherboard or CPU to blame
ram checks out in memtest but won't run in xmp?

is your ram on here for the motherboard? https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categ.../Cor_Products_Memory?type=findbycompatibility

no way to test motherboards & only test for Ryzen CPU is Prime and its crashing.

I think you need to get PC looked at by a repair shop, they should/may have parts that they know work that they can swap in for testing.

I will try the DOCP to be sure...
0 Results found in the link you sent
Earlier, When I get to the motherborad support page, there was "Quality Vendor List"... My RAM wasn't listed on it.... Mine is Corsair CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 ... Instead of "D" there was B and C.....

Anyway I will further test in Prime and let you know....

The Good thing is I successfully completed day 1 with out any BSODs........ I have to check 2 more days to be sure....
Like I said, Only thing I done is "ASUS OPTIMAL" mode on Ez Tuning.....

the ram should be okay if that is only difference, likely its just a newer version of the same ram. It happens.

ASUS Optimal: It 'overclocks' your whole system and offers more stability if you try to overclock your CPU , so more stability in general. It is more power consuming .

It is a small overclock do not worry . This mode is more about offering a good ground for a real overclock . Imagine that it might overclock your CPU buy 0.1-0.3GHz approx. So the overclock is minimal in the other hardware too. You are not in danger of damaging your system at all do not worry . You might see your system being a little unstable ( restarts ). If not then your system can handle it.
In any case you can always return to normal mode.

ASUS Motherboard Utilities

Hi People, Need to know something about asus motherboard before trying to run it myself and gettting into a chance of ruining it. First thing, in the EZ Mode of BIOS how does these 3 modes, Energy Saving, Normal, ASUS Optimal affect the components? How do they, if at all they do, increase or...

Till now, no freezes... Is it okay to ignore those rounding errors in prime...Does "Asus Optimal" void my warranty ? is the wraith prism cooler okay to handle asus optimum

 

[Colif]

if you stop getting bsod I would ignore the errors as clearly PC is as well.

What warranty? If you made PC, you can change any settings you want to. It is built into motherboard bios, you should be fine.

Its only a minimal increase in power, its not going to change that much so fan should be fine.

Still working great with no freezes... Look fine... After 1 year, i think the problem is resolved. So What's your conclusion ? What could be the defect ? Anyway Thankyou so much
