Question Help needed. Upgraded system, experiencing frequent reboots and other crashes.

[JohnTib]

Hello,

I recently decided to upgrade my old 9600k to a ryzen 7 7700x. Swapped motherboard, ram, and cpu cooler as well. Continued to use my 3070. I initially booted to my old windows install to download my motherboards BIOS update. Once that was done I performed a fresh install of windows, wiping my OS drive and installed all the necessary drivers.

I have been experiencing many frequent crashes, especially in games but also while idling. I have been at it for several days now and I fear no amount of googling will help.

I have upgraded my PSU to an 850W gold certified model from Corsair, and my RAM, also from Corsair (16gb) with no improvement.

The crashes are generally reboots, black screen followed by the computer booting up again. But have also had games crash such as Xdefiant, which simply close and give me the crash report page at which point the system remains on, although it will also occassioanlly force a reboot.

Some games like RE7 always cause a reboot after about 3 minutes of running.

Sometimes it crashes mere minutes after booting up. Other times, I have sat in a discord call for over an hour without it crashing.

I have only had one BSOD with error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

I have reseated my GPU and CPU. All fans are working. Visually, there is nothing wrong in the case.

Any help would be appreciated

Check RAM.

I swapped the ram already. I was using crucial at first then swapped to Corsair, no difference.

Here is the SPD and Memory screenshot, slot 2 and 4 are identical.

Go into BIOS and make sure DRAM voltage is set to 1.25V.

If that doesn't fix crashes, then you can also set Command Rate to 2T.

Set voltage to 1.25, crashed. Setting command rate to 2T now.

I've looked around in the BIOS but can't find the setting. Any idea how I can change the command rate?

Edit: Command rate also does not appear in CPU-Z

Somewhere in advanced ram configuration section.
Should be together with DRAM latency configuration.

I will try when I get home from work. Thank you

This is the only instance of the term Command Rate I can find in the BIOS. Its under a custom A-XMP profile and the only things i can type into are numbers, up to 4. Don't know what else to do. Thinking it's a motherboard issue. I have ruled out RAM, PSU, GPU (ran system without it, still crashed) I also ran Windows in a clean boot mode and the issue persists.

Get a copy of "Who Crashed' here, and see what it's telling you.

It's free to download. I troubleshot my Ryzen system when I first upgraded from Intel, and it helped loads.

I'll give it a shot later tonight, thank you

other things to try

update your bios to latest version some corsair ram needs a bios update to function properly
infact that board have several bios updates for better ram compatibility.


also if your using windows 11 turn off

Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling​

this can be found in settings/display/graphics.

this solved several crashes in games it seems to effect nvidia gpus more.

In this screen. Probably have to scroll down to the bottom.

With the assumption that it is memory at fault have you tried running with expo/xmp off?

Yes xmp has been on and off. I have a new mobo coming in today, we'll see what happens.

Had to ask the question, it’s the only thing I didn’t see in the thread….

I've tried a lot of things at this point, couldn't even tell you myself

I had a MSI B450, memory failed.. or so it seemed.

Bought new ram, no change.. still crashed. I bought a new motherboard. The old ram crashed, the new works fine (cpu, 3900x. The same one throughout)

Praying it's not the cpu.

 

[stuff and nonesense]

I wish you well

 

[JohnTib]

Swapped motherboards, crashes continue. RMAing with AMD. Had an idea, only thing I havent thought of doing.

Thoughts on swapping my OS to a different drive? I'll give it a shot anyways when I get the chance.

 

[JohnTib]

Update. RMA came through, drive swap did not resolve the issue. Currently running my old system till RMA is complete. Thank you all for your suggestions.
