ram is in slots 2 and 4, no errors with sfc or memory tool, have been able to get it to 2666mhz with no crash as of yet. thankfully it's tax return time in a month, so i should be able to swap a few things over. thanks for the suggestions all, helped me to get my head in the right place, really appreciate it

Hey brains trust, first time poster here with a bit of a newbie question. I have a mid-range gaming/workstation pc I built a few years back after ryzen was released, nothing too fancy, just a Ryzen 7 1700x, GTX 1070 and 16gb of corsair lpx ddr4 3000mhz ram. Something for some medium to heavy level of gaming and some casual vfx rendering. I only just realised that after noticing a lack of speed and some lag in games that the ram i have installed is capped at the 2133mhz default, despite being 3000mhz speed. I've updated my bios, and played around with my d.o.c.p settings and have an option for it to run at 2993mhz, which is close enough, but once i make that change and restart, i get a lovely little bsod after about 5 minutes. I remember that there was some issue with memory post-launch for ryzen chips and their mobos, but i believe they've all been fixed with bios updates. could i be having an issue with the power? I'm super keen to get any info or pointers as to where i might be going wrong. full parts list: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Endykits/saved/g4YbvK attached pic of cpuz for reference. Cheers, Liam
