So my PC has been crashing a lot since I built it but recently the crashes have become more frequent, It used to just happen when playing games, now it happens whenever I turn it on, after about 3 minutes of activity it just crashes. I have to turn off the PSU to be able to use the PC again. I uploaded to YouTube what happens after it crashes https://youtu.be/8nuMJudNXq4

Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600
Evga GTX 1060 SC
ASRock ab350m pro 4
Corsair Vengeance 16 gb ddr4
Corsair cx450m

Any help would be highly appreciated, as these constant crashes are getting annoying

 
I've experienced the same problem for months and have no solution either. Bios and driver updates have done nothing. I'm thinking it's the RAM as I have the same kit. I've wanted to swap it out for a while to test but unfortunately with RAM prices being what they are it's not something I'm willing to do. Are you one wireless internet or hardline? My other hypothesis is my wireless card as I have frequent connectivity issues and have to reset it.
 

I have an Ethernet cable coming out of my PC but it connects to an external wireless adapter instead of a router. Might be the ram
 
When he says crashes he means freezes. According to his video he has the same issue I've seen on my PC and this site with Ryzen, Constant PC freezes. They're unpredictable and are sporadic at first and then become very frequent. Mine happen after cold starts, I'll power cycle, Repeat 1 to 2 times and then it'll be stable for days until I shut it off again. Pretty sure it's the RAM with Ryzens Samsung B die issues but man if RAM were cheaper I'd have no issue dropping $100 bucks on a Ripjaws kit to test but I'm certainly not paying double or close to triple at the moment. As far as his issue goes I don't think the RAM speed actually matters. I've run mine at the base 2133Mhz with the same issue. I've got a 3000Mhz kit(can't hit that though) I run it at 2666Mhz with no changes in freeze frequency.
 

OK, let's start with the obvious. Is ram on the QVL for the motherboard, or is the motherboard on the ram manufacturer's site as compatible with the ram(EXACT matches, not just close!)?

 

That's what you have it running at, but what is it advertised to be?



 


Like I previously stated I'm pretty sure it's the RAM just waiting on the prices to come down. I was a launch customer for Ryzen so the QVL list was quite short. As for whether it's on the QVL list now the answer is still no as it was when I bought it hence why I want a new kit. I can think and say it's the RAM all I want but until I can test a QVL kit to see if the issue goes away I can't be 100% sure. Update: Just rechecked the QVL list which has 3 ways to filter it that admittedly I'm not sure exactly what all 3 filters are, the 3rd filter shows my kit as being on the QVL. So apparently mine is now on the QVL rated at 2993 which I haven't been able to hit(haven't tried on the latest BIOS update).
