  1. Would you say something in the monitor or my PC is the one at fault? Because the monitor works fine with other computers, and my original computer works fine with other monitors. The two even work together as long as I use a DVI to HDMI cable. The problem only occurs when using an HDMI cable.
  2. I know there are a lot of posts like these out there when searching google, but hear me out.I have an Asus Zenbook hooked up to an ASUS VS238H-P. It's been working just fine (besides some abysmal colors), until yesterday I 'hot-plugged' it(not sure if this is the right jargon). While both the laptop and monitor were on, I unplugged the HDMI from my laptop, and plugged it into another laptop, where it worked fine.When I was finished, I plugged the monitor back into the original laptop and the screen came on but in 640x480 resolution and options to change it were grayed out. It also shows up in my device manager as 'generic non-pnp monitor'.Things I've tried already:-Tested all the combinations of different HDMI cables, monitors, and computers. In summary, the affected monitor works completely fine (no locked 640 x 480) with any OTHER computer I hooked it up to. And my laptop works completely fine (no locked 640x480) with any OTHER monitor.-What DOES work (that I've tried so far), is using a DVI to HDMI cable. The DVI goes into the back of the monitor, and HDMI to my laptop, and it works just like before.-In conclusion, I only experience the 640x480 locked resolution when the monitor is paired with the original computer that it occurred on, using an HDMI cable (I tested 4 different cables, which work on other systems).-Uninstalled all my AMD gpu drivers with DDU, and tried re-installing both the OEM drivers, and the AMD manufacturer ones.-Restored to a 'restore point' from about a week ago.-Re-installed basically all my other drivers just to be thorough (chipset, etc).-Tried safe-mode.-Cycled through the VGA, DVI, HDMI inputs on the monitor, as well as factory reset it.-Went to 'advanced display settings' -->'show all modes' -->' looked for correct resolution' (only 640x480 is available).-Uninstalled the drivers of the monitor in 'device manager' and re-plugged monitor, and scanned for hardware changes (this monitor doesn't have manufacturer drivers).-I reset my bios and factory reset my laptop. No luck.I'm out of ideas. It's not the worst situation in the world. I know the monitor is old, and I don't mind getting another DVI to HDMI cable to fix it, but the fact that it still works with HDMI cables on every other computer besides the one I want to use it on, kind of bugs me enough that I'll put in the effort to tinker with it or at least see why this is happening and learn more about computers/monitors .System:Asus Zenbook UM433DAWin 10 Pro 64-bit version 1909AMD Ryzen 7 3700UAMD Radeon RX Vega 1016GB DDR4 2400 RAM1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD
  3. Is it a known issue with ryzen/am4 boards that HWinfo is incorrect? I thought HWinfo was always believed to be really accurate.
  4. My VID readings(blue highlight) seem kind of low in comparison to my vcore (red highlights). Also my vcore readings seem to vary among different software. CPU-Z and HWMonitor are close, but HWinfo is always decently lower. System:Ryzen 5 1600x w/ Hypercooler evo 212Gigabyte r9 270x (ancient, I know)Gigabyte GA-AX370 Gaming (rev 1.0)G.

  5. Thanks for all the advice and information. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try any of those things. I went to sleep with the ability to overclock, and when I powered up my PC the next day, it went back to not being able to overclock. So I decided to start fresh again and cleared my cmos, loaded bios defaults, booted to windows, restarted and booted back into bios, and made sure everything was stock and that I was running at 2133mhz ram. I only touched my CPU clock ratio and set it to 3.8ghz. Unlike last time where this worked, this time it showed 3.6ghz in CPU-Z. Tried this a couple times and decided to stop trying. Is it possible my motherboard is faulty?
  6. Thanks for all the advice everyone! Rascal your suggestion worked. I dialed back my ram to 2133, and now my CPU clock ratio changes stick and show up in CPU-Z! I assumed my ram at 3200 was stable since I have been able to boot to windows and stress test it as well. The question now is where can I go from here? Can I incrementally increase my ram frequency until it's no longer stable/holds my cpu overclock settings? Also is this problem a ryzen/bios problem that will eventually get worked out, or am I potentially stuck with 2133 frequency ram forever? *EDIT* Another thing I was wondering about. So in my original post I mention I am able to get 3.7ghz (no OC) with 3200mhz ram. Would this have better performance on Ryzen than 3.9-4.0 ghz CPU w/ 2133mhz ram?
  7. Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it didn't work. Still stuck at 3.6ghz with x 36.0 multiplier according to CPU-Z
  8. Yeah, I updated to the latest, and when that didn't work, I flashed the previous version.

Skill TridentZ Series 16GB (2x8gb) 288-pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200Evga 650 G3Windows 10 Pro 64-bitFresh build/win10 install besides the GPU. Windows and all drivers up-to-date.Issue: Any changes to my CPU Clock Ratio do not take effect once Windows boots up. This goes for both underclocking and overclocking. When I reboot into the bios, it shows the altered CPU Clock Ratio value, but once I boot into Windows, CPU-Z and HWmonitor show the stock values.I can change everything else, such as voltage, ram frequency/timings, etc, and those settings do stick. It is only the CPU Clock Ratio that does not stick.I have tried:-Clearing CMOS by using the jumpers and by taking the battery out.-Flashing to the previous bios version, as well as re-flashing the latest.-Turning off all power saving modes and boost features, and every combination of them on/off-Changing windows power plan to high performance and manually setting its minimum processor state to my overclocked values.-Not using the XMP profile and manually inputting Ram timings/voltage-Uninstalled every Gigabyte app (easytune, etc)-I also ran prime95 momentarily after each of the above tests to make sure my cores weren't just idling at a lower clockspeed. The only thing that made any sort of positive impact whatsoever was enabling Core Performance Boost in the bios. This made all the cores run at 3.7ghz. Cpu Clock Ratio changes after that did nothing though. After all of this, I decided to try Ryzen Master OC software for kicks, and it actually overclocks fine with that. I am completely stumped with what to do, as I don't want to rely on software to overclock. Just wanted to see if anyone had any advice before I end up returning things and get different gear.
