hello everyone, i just got my PC built last week.
my current rig is :
Ryzen 5 3600
Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB 3600MHZ CL18 kit (8gbx2)
ASrock B550M Steel Legend
Galax GTX 1660 Super
PSU : Be Quiet! u9 600w
OS : Windows 10 64bit
SSD : Nvme adata sx8200 256gb
HDD : WD Blue 2TB
when i first got my pc i set the ram speed to 3600MHZ using the BIOS (but i forgot to enable XMP), everything works fine. 2 days ago i updated my BIOS using the data i downloaded from asrock website. what i didnt know is when i update my bios, the settings were all set back to default. i was looking at my Task Manager hours ago and i realized my RAM sticks were running at 2133MHZ, so i went into BIOS and set it up to 3600MHZ. after looking for some youtube videos i find out that in CPU-Z my RAM sticks CAS LATENCY was 26 instead of 18, so i go into BIOS again to enable XMP profile, then i look up CPU-Z and now my RAM sticks have a CAS LATENCY of 18. but after 3 or 5 minutes, my pc restarted by itself.
at first i think maybe its normal because i just enabled the XMP profile in my BIOS. then after the first restart, i let my pc idle for about 10 minutes, after that i went to play Valorant, minutes into the game, when im selecting heroes, my pc restarted by itself (again). now i know something is wrong.
im typing this after the second restart, im using TASKMGR to monitor the uptime for my pc. its been 43 minutes and no third restart whatsoever. but im so afraid to open any games or programs, im afraid to experience the random restarting again.
any clue? should i turn off my XMP and go back to CL26? or should i let it on and decrease my RAM speed to 3200Mhz?
any help will be much appreciated.
