Hello and Happy New year ?
Not so long time ago I posted on this forum about my slow boot problem with my new rig.
After investigating I realized that the problem was the memory training with the Ryzen 3800x (and Ryzen 3000 in general)
The problem is: when I boot I got a solid orange led (DRAM led) during few sec and all the fans are spinning at max speed (gpu and cpu). Then I got red led (cpu solid during like 1sec or 2) then white (vga) and finally green. It's quite fast so my computer is booting in like 25-30sec max in total (Last Bios time is usually between 15 and 20sec to use that as a reference). Once I'm in Windows, everything is working just fine and I don't have any problems (gaming, editing, working, watching...).
here is my config:
GPU: Evga 2070 Super XC gaming
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3800X SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB
Motherboard: Asus X570 Tuf Wifi
RAM: 2x16gb Gskill Trident Z Neo F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC
PSU: Corsair RMX 750 (2018)
FYI:
- I used the XMP (3600) profile on my ram but I tried to set it up manually or even to run the default settings it doesn't change anything.
- Ram is on slot 2 & 4 (I tried 1 and 3).
- This is the second ram I tried, before I was using a different model which was not on my QVL (I know who cares about the QVL but I read Ryzen are very picky about ram so... why not)
- I flashed my bios to the latest version. I also cleared the CMOS and installed fresh version of Windows.
- All my drivers are up to date.
- Amazon sent me a replacement for my 3800X but I didn't try it yet since I don't have any reasons to believe the first one is dysfunctional but maybe I'm wrong?
- CSM is disabled and fast boot enabled.
Also this problem is totally random but happens often "the next day" like I turn off my computer I go to sleep and when I start it in the morning I got the problem. During the day, weirdly I don't always have this problem when I start to boot or reboot (like the fans are not spinning and I don't get the solid orange led for the dram) and last bios time is like 10 or 11sec which way more acceptable for me.
Some of you will probably tell me booting in 20-25sec is not biggie since everything is working just fine once in Windows but I paid a lot of money for this new rig so it's important for me to at least understand.
Thank you in advance for your help
