Question Faulty Ryzen 7 3700X ?

[Pekee]

Hi
I've been having problems with my PC for quite while. Everytime i try to update my bios my pc becomes rly unstable, crashing with different BSODs. I ran prime95 and it shows worker 3 stopped working almost immediately.
Little background. I have changed my RAM before and that didnt fix it, i have fresh installed windows numerous times and never got fix. Some games just keeps crashing and my PC bluescreens multiple times a day.

Specs:
Mobo: MSI MPG X570 Gaming edge wifi
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
Ram: 32GB (2 x 16GB) Vengeance RGB PRO, 3200MHz, CL16
Old ones: G.Skill TridentZ 3200 CL14
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 ARMOR OC
PSU: Seasonic PRIME FOCUS Modular 650W 80+Gold

Edit 1: Disabled c3 and c6 with ryzen master and havent got bluescreen yet.
I hope i gave enough information. If not will try to provide asap.

your old RAM should be very stable being b-die - you can revert to base memory clocks (e.g. 2133/2400) first to check if it's XMP-related.
make sure that's stable before a bios update or you might corrupt that as well

Have you reset CMOS to return all settings to optimized defaults?

XMP has been disabled whole time while troubleshooting. Ive been running whole day with 0 blue screens now after i disabled core 3 and core 6

Yes, 2 times.

RAM in slots a2-b2? Any bent pins on CPU?

RAM is in slot a2-b2, havent checked for bent pins. But since this post was created and after i disabled cores 3 and 6 i havent got any unstability on PC or games. So im 99% sure its faulty and i should rma it

Please update after you get new CPU.

so the question remains if it would've been the same if you didn't gimp the processor

If you mean gimp by overclocking i have not overclocked etc my cpu or gpu ever.

 

[Mr.Spock]

no, I meant disabling the useful cores, you should recheck if it's stable w/o XMP on all cores. then you can work on the memory

Oh okay my bad. I did test it. I even had problems with re-installing windows with all mobo settings on default.

Changing the RAM would rule out faulty RAM, but, only if the CPU is known to be stable and capable of 3200 MT/sec RAM speeds at whatever voltage is applied to the RAM per SPD/BIOS direction, and, not all CPUs were capable of it...(I think everything over

Have you tested at default/lower RAM speeds of 2133, 2400 or 2666 MHz? If symptoms unchanged, then, those 15 seconds in the BIOS with a few keystrokes and a reboot were wasted time....

(Certainly, at some point, you would need another CPU to prove the one you have faulty...)
