Hello!
System specs:
Aorus X570 Elite MB
Ryzen 5800x
RTX2080
64GB DDR4 3600mhz RAM (G.Skill Trident Z Neo)
Seasonic Focus 650 Gold PSU (Seasonic 650)
On latest BIOS revision (F36e)
So I'm having some odd issues. I had been running my system for the last year with no issues. However, recently it started freezing randomly. Apps would lock and refuse to close, although I could still move my mouse on-screen. Then usually very reliable apps began to crash constantly. Finally I started getting bluescreens. After a lot of trial and error, I learned I had a faulty ram module. So I RMA'd it and received a replacement.
Well now it seems like my PC refuses to take all 4 sticks at once. When I try and use all four sticks, either the PC refuses to post at all, and just sits there fans spinning forever, or the boot screen kicks me to a "system repair screen" which fails and then goes to a windows bluescreen asking what action I want to take. The one time I did get it to complete a boot up, my BIOS and Task Manager both said I only had 2 sticks of ram inserted.
Two sticks seems to be stable, but even after removing the 4 sticks and going down to 2, the PC has the same issues until I reset the BIOS a few times and do everything over. I feel like sometimes it would boot fine if I didn't use XMP. But even with XMP turned off with all 4 sticks in, it refused to work.
I did download Memtest86, and ran a full test and had 0 errors returned, so I think the RAM is okay now. I am undervolting the 5800x, but I had been before all the instability so I dont think its an issue. Also I tried resetting BIOS to default settings and yes, same issues are present. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
