what if thats not the problem

[@imperialspacemarine1539]

there is an easier way then your trial and error method. gogle with your phone or let a friend google your cpu. ther it gives you the rating of your chip. match it or just be below that and you are golden

[@imperialspacemarine1539]

@@coltmccoy1195 if you expierence the blue screen of death (or blackscreen) and thats not the issue you might have one of 2 Issues: 1.(most likely if you just upgraded your ram or moved your pc a lot) the contacts of your ram sticks might have slipped out. to fix it pull out every stick and put them all back propperly. 2: you might have a faulty ram stick. try another ram stick set if you have one or if you have multiple sticks put in, pull them out seperately (and put the remaining in the configuration specified by your motherboards manual for single channel if you have either 3 or 1 stick left) this way you should find the faulty ram stick. If that doesnt help your PC *MIGHT* already be bricked.

Is that working

[@IAmSwatchingYou]

Bro thank you so much for making this. been running at base 2133mhz for 2 YEARS now because XMP kept crashing and most of the other ram overclocking guides were wayy too complicated. breaking it down like this for beginners was a huge lifesaver. Was going to go upgrade my ram to 32gb just cause rust was borderline unplayable with stuttering right as i or the enemy run into each other and shoot. now will test and hopefully not have to spend for no real reason besides that. Thanks again!

[@thomyads]

Yeah, especially when this topic, and tbh most things that regard pc issues, are so hard to search for. When you can't properly identify your problem and can't find a tutorial anywhere. I just happened to stumble on this video and went "Why hasn't this shown up sooner!" But yeah.

[@americasace]

I didn't realize that this was even a thing until I stumbled on your video. All I know is that when I had xmp enabled my games would crash and memtest86 showed a bunch of errors. That was fixed by disabling xmp. Only NOW do I know that I can step down my xmp profile thanks to your video. Thumbs up and subscribed! btw, I went down from 6400 MT/s to 6200 and now everything works fine.

Or try updating you bios, perhaps your bios is old and doesn't support the newer memory without an update.

[@riffcrypt8438]

Awesome video! I recently got a nice prebuilt and noticed the memory speed running at 2666, and wanted to enable xmp to take advantage of the full 3200. Was reconsidering after looking into how it could potentially make the system less stable, but now I have enough info to be confident in tinkering that I can undo any mistakes if they happen. We'll see how it goes! Thanks!

So I sent it to for repair as I gave up and had no idea what to do anymore. I got it back and they told me everything should run fine but after getting home and $140 down later I started up my pc and I still had the same problem! Not wanting to waste my time there anymore I tried once again to figure it out on my own and I was blessed and came across your video!! Turns out under clocking my ram was the fix.

I’m having the exact same issue with the 7700x too, can’t run my memories on 6400mhz, 6000 or even 5600. Could you share the video you watched to understand volt your rams?

[@MindzEye03rd]

You jumped onto a brand new platform going am4 to am5. I would revert back to am4, back up every thing then build the am5 system and restore backups. Your system Registry probably has a lot of conflicts with that big of a leap.

[@JosephWheels]

Thanks solution worked for me, I had the black screen after installing 64GB of ram . When I lowered the speed from 3200MHz to 3166MHz the system booted up without issue. Wish I knew more about computers - feel like I'm in the dark most of the time. You are a great instructor.

Sir u save my life i just change my board my rams my supply everything but when my friend suggest this video and now i fixed my solution sir thanks alot

[@Koeras16]

It is not always the memory controller who is lacking, could also be the motherboard. Some boards might also need some help to get some clocks running, like fiddling with voltages yourself, enabling Gear down mode or 2T. Fiddling with SOC voltage and or dram voltage might also help. Same goes with ProcODT, RttNom, RttWr, RttPark and the four DrvStr settings. Loosening some timings does might help too. Checking if your motherboard does support the specific RAM sticks you bought might also be a good idea.

What if mobo supports my model ram? Where do i start learning about how to modify the above settings you listed?

@@Fondofmelobster Searching about it is a good start I would say. You might also find some technical documentation and& or people summarizing some of those...

[@bensoontm5244]

Hey there, I just wanted to say thank you for this quick tutorial. A friend of mine recommended me to just turn on XMP but little I knew what I issues this would cause over the next weeks. Long story short my CPU only supports a maximum of 3200 speed but the ram goes to 4000. It caused games like Dead By Daylight and Fortnite to consistantly crash, not even the support could help (20 emails back and forth until they ran out of ideas and dipped me) 30 Minutes ago I tried to repair windows files, it crashed 3 times until the system didnt even boot up anymore. I followed your video, removed the battery on the mainboard and it magically boots up again. I checked the ram speed and it was back to 2133 which I set to 3200. THank you so much for this video. If I only knew this video existed earlier but now I know! CHECK YOUR COMPABILITIES GUYS!

good video. you should have mentioned that a bios update might help as well. A lot of ASUS MBs have problem with XMP (both DDR4 and DDR5 - talking Alder Lake here) But even for older generations; look to make sure you have the most recent bios flashed. Also, if it is working at some level now; make sure you save the bios settings or take pictures so you can at least get back to what you had before you start updating bios and trying xmp and xmp 2 . good video though. thanks.

If it isn't the ram then it could be the motherboard or possbily the bios.

Here is something that worked for me: my XMP was stable, no system crashes, bus was getting large files unzipping and installation errors and corruption, and memory errors testing with HCi memtest and other software. DECREASING, yes, the XMP's DRAM voltage (go slowly, 0.01v at a time) solved all the issues. Normally you'd increase it, but going this way only made errors more frequent in my case. Good luck!

Old video, but still worthile. So, I was meddling in the BIOS of my gaming PC (with a R7 5700X and an ASUS 3070Ti on an (older) ASUS X370-A motherboard - and kudos to ASUS for offering BIOS updates so I was able to replace my R5 1600 with a R7 5700X, a couple of years ago). DOCP is enabled to get the 2 x 8 GB of DDR4-RAM (RGB, of course, or whatcha expect?) from 2400 or whatever to 3200 MHz. The BIOS showed a RAM voltage of 1.3-something Volt, in yellow. It says 1.2 V is the normal voltage, so I changed the DRAM voltage in the BIOS to 1.2 Volt (just because I could...) And "Elden Ring" has been crashing (hanging, then throwing me back to the desktop) during every run for the past few days... Changing the DRAM voltage back to 1.3-something made "Elden Ring" run fine (earlier today). Another example of, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it".

Could be just cheap RAM but could also be cheap motherboard that just doesn't handle well going higher even tho it might be in the official spec. Five years ago you could get top notch mobo for around 120-150dollars/euros now you need to spend 200 minimum to even get into overclocking RAM and CPU game, without PC randomly crashing and worst case not even booting. Learned this hard way when building first custom gaming PC but the extra 15-20% boost isn't worth it unless you care about extra 10FPS

Also have Trident 6000 mghz ram at CL 36 and the XMP isn't stable. Can't seem to figured out what to do. I have a feeling the memory controller can't handle it idk.

[@TheGriefHD]

I’m in the same situation

[@TTTac]

Damn dude your like a PC Mr Rogers. I bought a cyber power PC build; I know I am a noob. I was afraid of messing with but now not so much. Ps I bearly found your channel its awesome.

[@palletjackthepirate9926]

Thanks for the amazing video it was very helpful. my cpu ran my previous ram just fine at 3600mhz but at the time was only 2 sticks. when i upgraded my ram and now had 4 stick the memory controller probably couldn't run all 4 sticks at that high of speed.

[@juliangarcia6073]

I had similar issues when i added two more sticks of the same ram

[@MitchellTheMitch]

Yo? Someone who had the same issue as me? Glad to see I'm not the only one

[@palletjackthepirate9926]

@@MitchellTheMitch ayo I fixed it but you won’t like it it was a bad ram stick for me take one out and run that for a day and see if you get the crash if so try the other stick if one is bad you’ll need a new set. If the ram is new you can try to exchange it. If you have any questions respond and I’ll see it in my email

[@SoloWheelsofficial]

Wonderful explaination, glad I came across your video. So here is what happened to me recently. Last week I purchased 2 16GB Rams & used it along with my 8GB Rams. Total 48 GB - 3200 MHZ using 4 slots. Everything was working fine but suddenly I received a BIOS update and did it. Now, I am not at all able to use my PC with XMP on. Instead, now I my not at all able to run my PC with even same memory RAMs (4*16GB). Requesting if you can revert and share your experience on what could have gone wrong. I am worried if I have damaged my MOBO.

Here I am again.. Thanks again for the help. ALWAYS. Wakanda Forever

quick and simple thank you for your help man.

[@MLGWuba]

Great vid everything you should know here besides the more in depth OC

[@DelScully]

Im having an issue where I was able to run XMP 5600 ddr5 for the last year and my system is able to run much higher into the 7000's but randomly the other day it decided I cannot use xmp anymore or it boot loops then goes to the bios finally... Have no idea how to fix this issue and now its even saying in corsair it is only letting me use 1 ram stick to monitor or use with rgb because one is running expo and another xmp or something which makes zero sense...

[@icystalin2941]

Truly a life saver brother

[@evanmiller8931]

this fix worked perfectly! just stepped it down a speed and everything runs like a charm!

[@robifleming]

I’ve run into the exact same issue. I have an X570 taichi, 5600X, 4x8GB TRIDENT z.skill rated at 3600MHz and I can only get things to run smoothly at 3400MHZ.

[@1910alexander]

This was a big solution for me. Thank you very much this is a big help

[@vulturex3265]

That is how I fixed my sudden game closing to desktop while there was a lot of stuff happening. I down clocked my CPU that did not help, I down clocked the GPU that did not work, but down clocking my DDR5 ram from it's 7200 xmp profile to 7000 did the trick. I bumped my CPU back up to 6ghz on 13900k and my Strix 4080 back up with no further crashes playing Apex Legends at 1440p and 240fps and Titan Fall 2 at 240 fps. The Monitor can do 300fps but the 4080 just can't run it smoothly without dropping down in frames when the fighting get tough. I stress tested the system for a hour at the 7200 xmp profile and passed with not errors but gaming I would get random crashes to desktop. This did not happen a lot I could got all week and not crash but any crash is BS. The drop to 7000 has caused the game to fill more stable in those high conflict moments as it seemed like I would get bits of stuttering at the 7200 clock. Now no issues at all.......

Dude you are a real pc master thank you it was helpful

Thanks for the help I was crying

im glad i knew about xmp before, otherwise id be running everything in 2133mhz

[@jcfdraws]

My current build cant go on 3600mhz. Ryzen 7 3700x, can only run on 3000mhz lol. Thank you for this video.

[@VeryTori]

I just upgraded my ram after a few years, and my old ram ran 3600 speed and DOCP (basically XMP) perfectly fine this whole time (Although I think I remember having to tweak with this back then too lol), and now that I have new ram in, I have to tweak with it again. Was getting blue screens before disabling DOCP/XMP, and now about to try this method again. I hope I will hit 3600 again, but I suppose I should be happy with any speed above what I have right now.

[@TheSiimur]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SIR! My heart almost stopped after I installed my rAm. I thought I damaged something lol absolute top saver! Ty

[@Maraksot78]

Good to hear the video helped you out. Cheers. :)

[@TheSiimur]

@@Maraksot78 Hey man, so this has worked obvs.. BUT, my pc randomly crashes without blue screen just freezes.. Theres no time on how long before it happens. Any ideas on fix? I was thinking lowering ram speed but my build should be well supported its original speed (i9 10850k, vengence pro 64gb ram 3600mhz, 1080 gtx)...

[@koigee]

@@TheSiimur That's also what's happening to me! I hope he can make a video about this... (Ryzen 3 3200, Radeon RX550, 8GB 3200MHz RAM)

@@koigee I found a fix. I just lowered mhz speed even lower but by a small amount and havent had any issues ever since! :) hope helps mate

I build my new pc, everything starts but i dont get an image on screen, no bios no windows etc. the dram led on my mainboard is on constant orange light, i have a Asus Z790 F Mainboard, DDR5 Corsair (2 x 32 gb) 6000mhz Ram ( c30) and an i9 13900k on the website for the mainboard i found it supports the exact same ram but instread of c30, it sais c40 does this small difference really makes my pc not working ?

[@twpaq9332]

Thank you, very much! This fixed the blue screen issue I was having. I went from two sticks to four and it was not working so I went back to two. While I had two my Lian Li Hydroshift AIO RGB's were working, but now that I have all four sticks, the AIO RGB is not turning on. Is there some weird connection to these two? Thank you.

[@moinulahsan600]

I am using gigabyte b660m..and if i use my ram on A2 and B2 slot ..i can use my ram 3600mhz using xmp..but if i use my ram in A1 and B1 ram slot my pc crashes if enable xmp..i have to use the default ram mhz

[@FrannB]

Hello good video man! btw, I am experiencing some crashes where my screen goes black and I have to turn off the PC, it happens when I am gaming or in the desktop, I thought it was a temperature problem, but no, I check the rams for problems but nothing appeared, I also check the storage but nothing... what confuses me is that it can happen whille gaming or not gaming and the problems apears like twice a week only... I don't now what to do!!! Im thinking tha can be my HDD but I already test it... maybe when it reads a part of the disc it crashes idk.
