I'll probably clock the ram back to 3800 (and fclk 1900), but leave everything else on auto or what was specified in the DOCP profile. If I decide to do that. Either way thanks man, so far it seems stable, over 2 hours of uptime, I'll leave my system on for a few more hours, and if there are no more random reboots, I will consider the problem fixed.

Good idea. I'll try that. EDIT: I tested my machine with DOCP off, FCLK at auto and ram at 2666MHz. Then I tested my stock settings, and again with DOCP on but fclk on auto. (currently running now). Much more stable and my audio issue is gone. I'm still not sure if it's 100% stable, but I'll submit more updates if necessary. I'm Embarrassed to have not thought of this earlier, I thought all ryzen 5000 Vermeer CPUs had no problem getting their FCLK to 2000MHz.

I got my motherboard over 2.5 years ago, and forgot about it. When I remembered that I had it, (2 weeks ago) I ordered a 5900x, got it brand new for ~$290.

I replaced my old Asus Z10PE-D8 WS board with 2 Xeon e5-2690 v3's, 4x8GB DDR4 2133 CL15 ECC udimms, and vega 64 Graphics card. With an Asus Pro WS X570 Ace, Ryzen 9 5900x, 2x16gb DDR4 4000MHz non-ecc udimms, and a 6950XT. I've had an unbelievable amount of problems, If anyone can help me, I greatly appreciate it. Day 1: Mostly spending time putting things together, my PC ends up only being able to get to the pre-bios screen (where it says "press DEL or F2 to enter the bios") I can't enter it, but I can press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart, I used a friend's spare 3600XT and load a new bios onto a flash drive, this fixes it. I try loading into windows, frequent Random Hard Reboots and BSODs (with visual artifacts) "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR". I take it to be a GPU Driver issue. Day 2: I spend several hours trying to install new GPU drivers, almost all with the result of my PC encountering the same problems as the day before, before the installation could complete. At some point my SSD's detection by windows and my motherboard's bios becomes intermittent, and only on certain boots (hot or cold didn't make that much of a difference, it seemed more random) I figure it's an issue with my windows version because of how much newer my hardware has become with only a single upgrade. So I decide to back up my data and format my SSD (I would have done an in-place, but my system was too unstable for that). I couldn't install windows, I would get mountains of errors, I was so desperate I contacted microsoft support, who did a good job helping me. (The fix was downloading chipset/sata drivers onto another flash drive and having it plugged in during the setup, if you're interested). The system would crash during CDM or any significant driver updates. I Figured that the SSD was toast. (even though it was working just fine 2 days ago) Day 3 (today as of writing this): I went to micro center to get a new SSD, I tried installing windows via boot media, seemed more stable from the start. (I got my hopes up). Granted the machine with the new windows install IS more stable, I was able to install windows updates, gpu drivers, and chipset drivers fairly easily. No more BSOD's, and random reboots can occur up to 30 minutes after booting instead of 0.5-5 minutes (I even made this post on the machine, even if it did shut off a few times while I was doing it). Trying any other actions regarding updating gpu or chipset drivers, windows update, or large file transfers will cause a hard reboot. In-place upgrade windows doesn't work, and all audio (whether from the GPU through my monitor speakers, or my logitech G435 USB headset) sounds like someone is holding down the pause button (you know how you can hold space on a youtube video and it rapidly pauses and unpauses. All sound sounds like it's been ran through a filter to produce that effect, it is unusable). I'll probably run Memtest86 tomorrow just to rule out RAM. I'll also contact Asus to see if my board is still under warranty, I got it in late 2020, but it's been sitting on a shelf until I started my upgrade. Additional Info: I'm pretty sure it's not a GPU issue, the artifacting has gone away with the driver updates. NOTE: I can't reply too much as I'll be going to bed within an hour, but I'll try to. I'll be back tomorrow and the day after.

I can't take it anymore, just going to rip the m.2 drive out, back up the contents, then do a fresh install.

And it just BSOD'd again.

No, nor are the applications, RN my.pc is running, I am trying to run an in-place upgrade directly from it, instead of from a flash drive.

NADA, BSOD IS BACK. I really hate this shit.

I DID IT, I MANAGED TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS WITHOUT MY SYSTEM CRASHING. WILL UPDATE ON RESULTS SHORTLY.

Now I'm starting to get system thread exception errors. Still only seconds after booting.

It crashed mid driver install this time. I am losing my shit right now.

Ran DDU, system BSOD'd, but without visual artifacts, said it was a WHEA error. Should I try running DDU again? EDIT: nvm display drivers are very clearly gone, installing new ones now

I just tried to update my driver's again, got to 100% then bsod with visual artifacts. System restarted in a surprisingly short period of time, things seem to be running smoothly now. Aaaand it died as I was typing this. DDU time.

Not entirely, but there was visual artifacts, and I was getting some and driver problems, and my system runs fine if I run into the recovery menu, and the windows boot media menu.

Seems like I can't do an in-place upgrade over USB. Shit.

No it just restarts normally, regardless the in-place upgrade seems to be going along fine, my system isn't crashing.

Holding shift then pressing restart from the windows lock screen.

My PC refuses to boot into safe mode, it just starts normally.

I'll have to try that out after the in-place upgrade, my system only stays on for about a minute before getting a BSOD and visual artifacts.

Well, I do have files that aren't backed up, so I thought an in-place could do the job.

I'll try an in-place upgrade

The GPU doesn't crash in safe mode, my system for whatever reason can't boot into safe mode, it just starts up normally.

I can't seem to boot I to safe mode, and my system will crash about a minute after it turns on, how do I fix my GPU drivers in this scenario?

Now I'm thinking it might be a GPU issue, because every bsod I get now has visual artifacts. EDIT: Only challenge now should be making sure the system can stay on long enough for it not to crash during the driver update

Just to see if it would do anything, I moved the 8-pin PCIe power connectors to different slots, and that seems to have fixed it, (seemed, it could very well crash within the next 10 minutes.) My GPU powering (PSU has 2 cables with 2 connectors each and the card has 3 8-pins, the setup that seems to work now is having the first connector of the first cable on the left, then second cable first connector, then second cable second connector. EDIT: it crashed again
