This will be a long one.
Specs :
Asus A320m-k prime
Ryzen 5 2600 (not OC'd)
2x500Gb 7200RPM HDD
Gt 1030
A cheap unknown 500w PSU
So yesterday I bought Geil ORION AMD Edition 8Gb 3200Mhz CL16 for my PC, my Asus A320m-k motherboard recognizes it, and it's compatible with my Ryzen 5 2600.
I removed my old RAM and inserted this new one, and weird things were happening. Without enabling D.O.C.P , the memory was running at 2133 Mhz and no issues were found except that it was running at that speed. Upon enabling the D.O.C.P's profile, which adjusted the RAM to what it's supposed to run at, the PC just wasn't able to boot. One time that it was, however, I got a BSOD which followed with BIOS entering recovery mode. After I sorted that out I tried manually adjusting the RAM and instead of 3200 Mhz I put 2933 Mhz, which resulted in PC booting up, but at the moment I wanted to check performance in task manager, my mouse and keyboard just disconnected, I don't know if computer froze, so I just restarted it.
I should point out that my PSU is pretty much unknown and garbage, I never took it out of my PC but I guess it's light, 12A max output. Maybe that is preventing me from using the RAM at its full.
Anyways I'm not sure whether I should refund this RAM or not, and I would prefer to keep it inside my PC, working as intended.
EDIT: If it's relevant , my previous RAM was ADATA 8Gb 2400 Mhz CL18, which worked flawlessly.
