Hello, i recently doubled my ram and noticed it was running at 2667mhz. I changed to xmp in the bios to enable its 3600mhz as auto detected, now when playing games my pc restarts with no blue screen, errors or warnings.

 

 

Specs '' Win 11 64bit latest updates applied. MPG B550 Gaming Plus Mobo, Ryzen 7 3800XT CPU, RX 6700XT GPU, Ram Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 16GB (2 x 16GB) 3600MHz Module - PVS416G360C8, 32inch curved screen. I run all games in 2k.

 

Any suggestions as to why it crashes now unlike before i installed the extra stick of ram? Possibly the PSU that is 1000w? Not sure where or how to test where the issue is. Thanks for taking the time to read all of this.

The RAM is not appropriate for your CPU, AMD state here up to 3200MHz/MT/s and if you have DOCP/EXPO/XMP enabled the RAM will get auto OCd past what the CPU can handle and the PC will become unstable.

 

Go into the BIOS, disable XMP and then manually set the RAM to run at 3200MHz/MT/s and the voltage to 1.35V.

 

You should also make sure that the Windows Power Plan is set to Balanced and not High Performance or Ryzen Balanced. 

 

Something to keep in mind for the future, a CPU must be compatible with a MB whereas the RAM has to be compatible with both the CPU and the MB, this because a MB can be compatible with faster CPUs than the one in your list of parts and MB manufacturers often state RAM speeds that far exceed that which any compatible CPU can handle, this is misleading at the least or dishonest at worst.
