Seeing as the 5600X doesn't have an integrated GPU i'm a little confused, also what motherboard and RAM do you have? please provide screenshots of those too. In the meantime all i'm able to advise you with are the basics: Update your BIOS to the newest Update your GPU Drivers Is the Display Cable plugged into the GPU and not the MotherBoard ...and the infamous, have you tried turning it off and on again? <3 Much love and good luck, sorry to hear about your issue.

Damn, unlucky. Well could you tell me a little more about how you're running it? 2933MHz is almost 3200MHz so i'll be a little more satisfied. Updated to the newsest

Hey guys, this is austin Hamza. if this is in the wrong area/section please move it to the correct one. My problem is i can't for the life of me overclock my RAM over 2666 MHz Here is my build: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-7-1700 MoBo: Asus Prime B350-Plus https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-B350-PLUS/specifications/ RAM: HyperX Predator 3200MHz (PC4-25600) (4x4GB) https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX432C16PB3K2_8.pdf SSD: Samsung EVO M.2 NVMe 512GB GPU: XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 RGB PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1000W My max speed theoretically is supposed to be 3200MHz as far as i know. Even if i manage to get it working on 2933MHz or 3000MHz the next time i reboot it bootloops 3 times then goes back to 2400MHz. Then i have to go into the BIOS again and put everything on AUTO, and adjust DRAM Frequenzy to 2666MHz, it seems to be stable then. I've tried a few methods but it doesn't seem to work. Even using the D.O.C.P. profiles (maybe im using those wrong?) I feel pretty dumb because i have been building computers for years, and overclocking CPU didn't give me as much trouble as memory. Hope you guys can help me, or at least make me aware of my mistake so i won't repeat it. Thanks in advance.

the ssd in question is 4-5 years now EDIT: Fixed the problem, top of the first post has been edited (explanation)

i'll give it a try once i backup everything, do you think there could be a SSD/HDD/Storage issue? faulty drive perhaps?

i have now, believe i found something.

I've tested this on so many locations and the problem is still there. As of right now i'm the only power cable hooked into one breakout cable, which is grounded.

@liamdoyle27 Likewise, i should be quicker to come here for answers, as most of my troubleshooting has been just between me and google. UPDATE: Twice in a row now i started Saint's Row 4, on battery power. First Run: Played for about 7 Seconds on battery power, plugged in the power and after 2-3 seconds, instant shutoff. Second Run: Played for about 1-2 minutes on battery power, plugged in the power and after 2-3 seconds, instant shutoff. So i'm assuming it's a power issue, but i've tried switching out the laptop charger itself, does that mean it's the "socket" where the charger gets plugged into that broken?

i have not, i was under the assumption it was a hardware issue. i will give it a day or two so i can ramp up several good ideas from the community, re-installing windows is a process, so i'll save that for last. But thanks Liam, sometimes the easiest fixes are right under your nose, and re-installing windows seems like the typical easy-fix which are exactly things i tend to overlook. Cause i'm an idiot.

====== SOLUTION FOUND ====== It was the GPU dying, ordered a new off Ebay. Swapped it out and it worked (still works about half a year later, not 1 shutdown has happened) ====== SOLUTION END ====== Hi, new guy here. As you can read, i have an issue. Problem: Error happens while gaming or while using chrome. Basically what happens is that my laptop instantly shuts off, as if someone rips out the power cord from a desktop pc, doesn't matter if the battery is plugged in, all of a sudden the laptop just goes black, when it reboots, no error message, no blue-screen no nothing. Attempts: I've tried Prime95 and Furmark for way longer than the laptop can handle when i game, it functions properly during these benchmark/torture tests, but as soon as i start a game, give it a few minutes and it'll shutoff. I've tried running games with and without battery, i've also ordered a new PSU/laptop charger from a reputable source (i.e. correct PSU/laptop charger for my make&model). Problem still persisted. I've taken the laptop completely apart and thoroughly cleaned it, replaced thermal paste. The laptop was bought in Aug.2012 so its coming up on 5 years so warranty is out. I've run the Windows Memory Diagnostic without any errors. Tried different BIOS'es without any luck. Laptop Specs: Asus G75VW (Bought in EU->Norway) if that makes a difference? CPU: Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3Ghz (4Cores 8Threads) RAM: DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M 2GB/3GB GDDR5 VRAM PSU: 19V DC 180W OS: Win10 Pro 64-bit BIOS: Version 207 (Reverted to original BIOS, problem showed up shortly after i updated BIOS, wasn't the cause) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB Conclusion: I am flabbergasted........i have completely run out of ideas, i have no idea what it can be, and i'm pretty salty because despite its age in my opinion it's a pretty decent laptop even 5 years after purchase and i have this childish unvawering urge to not only find the problem but fix it. Especially since during my take apart/put back together i found out i can replace the CPU/GPU and RAM should the need come up. Really hope some of you can help me figure out just what the hell my problem is, the frustration is strong in this one. Thank you for your time.

Finally, a forum with friendly tech-talkers.
