Recently sold my intel rig as I wanted to give Ryzen ago, it was all going well until I booted into windows, where randomly, Windows would completely lock up, requiring a reboot. There was no black screen or BSOD, the computer would just lock up completely. I know ryzen has had a lot of compatibility issues, so far I have updated to the newest BIOS for my motherboard, and I am running the system at completely stock settings, no OC's - nothing changed at all in BIOS. Here are the specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 Mobo: Asrock B350 Pro4 /w 2.60 BIOS (most recent) RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB(2x4GB) 2400mhz (stock) 16-16-16 timing - Part #: BLS2K4G4D240FSB GPU: Gigabyte GTX960 G1 4Gb. I'm currently attempting to update to the creators update of windows 10, as I've heard this can solve some issues, however with the computer freezing up every so often I'm finding it difficult to download with my miserable 10 down bandwidth. If anyone has any quick fixes or things I should check while windows is upgrading I'd greatly appreciate it!

Heya all, I've got a quick question regarding the M.2 slots on the ASRock AB350M Pro4. (ASRock Product Site) There's an M.2 slot and an M.2 Ultra slot. What's the difference? The user manual of the board says the following: • 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Ryzen CPU) or Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s) (with A-Series APU)** • 1 x M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module** ** Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks I know that the Intel 600p NVMe drive i'm looking at uses a Gen3 x4 PCIe interface, which seems to be the ultra slot, but what is the SATA3? Am i right to assume that the Sata 3 socket is simply a bottle-necked M.2 interface, or am i reading that wrong?...

ASRock ab350 pro4 - 185 BGN MSI B350 Tomahawk Arctic - 221 BGN or even MSI X370 Gaming Plus - 240 BGN. Which one is worth it the most and why(bios support, stability, vrms etc) ? Are the 55extra really worth when comparing the ab350 vs x370(19 extra from msi b350 for sure are) ? Even though x370 is better for overclocking and future proof probably,I don't plan on overclocking the r5 1600 for now. P.S. Here are few others I can choose from: Asus PRIME b350-plus - 198 BGN Gigabyte AB350 - gaming 3 - 221 BGN ASRock AB350 Gaming K4 Fatal1ty - 208 BGN (from what i found its basiclly red colored pro4)

I recently purchased an R5 3600, 2x8gb ddr4-3000 memory, and an ASRock b450 pro4 motherboard. Is it essentially just plug and play from here or should I worry about updating the bios or something before proceeding?

Hello guys you might be my last help regarding my problem, I have just upgraded my new pc, to an amd ryzen 5 3600 with a b450 pro 4 motherboard I used my gtx 970 founders edition on my old motherboard just days ago, and it worked just fine. Well as i installed everything i got alot of bluescreens and first i thought it was memory related, so i bought 2 new ram of Hyper X After that i still wasnt able to install windows due to bluescreens so i contacted a computer shop nearby, gave them my pc and he told me yesterday, my graphics card is dead, i told him this cant be my graphics card it worked just fine days ago, and it was never overclocked or anything. He told me he tried installing windows with another card and it worked just fine, so iam confused i spent all my money on my cpu and i dont really want to buy new stuff again so, iam asking you what can i possibly do? Today ill get a 1gb card from a friend and then i ll try to get the 970 working on my b450 pro 4 but how?

Hi, I was wondering if the asrock ab350 pro4 (3+3 phase vrm) would be enough for a ryzen 5 2600 overclocked to 1.4v for daily use. I will zip-tie the fan that comes with the stock heatsink to the vrm heatsink, so temps wont be a concern. I watched Buildzoids video about the pcb break down and it seemed to be a decent enough board in terms of power delivery. here's a link in case u want to see it aswell:

So here we have a build, that is working, but not as expected. Be quite silent base 801 (3x140mm fans) Corsair rm550x Asrock z370 pro4 I9 9900k Be quite shadow rock 2 cpu cooler Ddr4 16gb 2666mhz cl15 kingston hyperx Evga gtx1070 sc Ssd: samsung evo 860 500gb, toshiba tr150 480 gb Wifi card on pcie Rme hdsp 9652 on legacy pci Initially i had i7 8700k in this setup, all working perfect. Swapped for i9 9900k with latest bios 3.30. Aaand i got a BSOD every time. Random bsods. Default bios setting doesn't work like it should for i9. Lowering manually processor speed in bios oc menu to max 4.2 ghz on all cores and bclk 100 helps. But i can't get more than this numbers. Wtf? I9 in default turbo should get 4.7ghz on all cores. Performance test also showed cpu performance lower than usual for i9 = 15000+, instead of 21000+ Temperatures of cpu and mb are fine. 30-36 celsius in idle. Cpu in cinebench 80 celsius short peak. First i thought psu is not enough. Pulled out every component. leaving i9, one 8gb ram stick, system ssd alone. Even in oc till 5ghz, 550 watt should be enough, as i9 5ghz is about 250-270 watts. Sooo, loaded bios defaults... No result... Bsod every time till cpu frequency lowering to 4.2ghz. Where should i start? Change motherboard, psu or have i "bad" i9 chip? Asrock z370 pro4 have 10 phases, but those really are (4*2)+2. Now I'm thinking motherboards vrm not getting right voltage for i9? Can it be?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor ($234.37 @ Amazon) Motherboard: ASRock X570 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard ($149.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory ($109.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Intel 660p Series 1.02 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($97.99 @ Newegg) Video Card: MSI Radeon RX 5700 8 GB MECH OC Video Card ($359.99 @ B&H) Case: Cooler Master HAF XB EVO ATX Desktop Case ($109.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: Corsair CSM 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($99.95 @ Amazon) Hey all, My Asrock x570 Pro4 isn't posting and has the CPU and DRAM PSC lights are lit for ~10 seconds then the computer will reboot. I legit can't find any info about the PSC (Post Status Checker) lights for the Asrock mobos from the Asrock site. I've used their search features and several posts show up regarding the same problem as me. With this issue, most people have a power issue, CPU issue, or mobo is dead. Heres the catch, I have booted on an MSI x570 gaming plus with this CPU and power supply (TLDR; MSI x570 was defective and got RMA'd and there wasnt a replacement so I was refunded and got an Asrock. RAM I have now is QVL checked against the Asrock mobo and is good by them). So my thoughts are that the mobo is bad. However, what would be the chances of getting 2 mobos that are both defective back to back? My power supply is from an old build (like 8 years ago old). I figured that it would be good to still use. I reset the CPU and it's still not working. I'm thinking about getting a new PS since mines old. I've already tried reseating the RAM, using 1 sitck at a time in all port while clearing CMOS between tests. I've triple checked my PSU connections are plugged in and proper (IE PCIe wasnt going to mobo 8 pin). I let the boot -> 10s CPU/DRAM lit -> reboot cycle happen for ~ 20 minutes and still no dice - I read somewhere that Ryzen can take upto 3 reboot cycles to post. I'm running out of ideas for troubleshooting stuff and I'm coming to you guys to see if theres something I'm missing. Edit: Guess PC part picker didn't update when I went from the MSI gaming plus to Asrock Pro4 (RMA issue with newegg). I updated the list. Note, that ram is wrong, but I still have 16 GB at MHz that is verified to be good with Asrock via their QVL. EDIT 2: I bought a new psu thinking my old one was bad. I hooked it up and still LEDs were lit. I tried one stick of ram cycling through the slots and clearing cmos again, and got it to boot. I swapped out the new psu with the old one and it still booted. Did a clean install of windows and things were a success! Went to install the other stick of ram and check the bios, no dice. Tried reseating it again and went into the bios and it showed up. Moral of the story, this Mobo has really finicky ram slots but I got things working.

I have an asrock b450 pro4 and a ryzen 5 1600. I have tested corsair 3000 mhz , crucial 2400 mhz , and some other 2133 rams but none of them are stable. Some of them didn't even post. Is it because of my processor being 1st gen ryzen and mobo being 2ng gen ? I'm thinking of buying Adata xpg spectrix d40 (AX4U320038G16-DRS) . Will it support my build ? Will it be able to run stable at 3200 with my hardwares? Will my processor be able to support this ram with 3200mhz with my motherboard? I'm so screwed. Please Help!

Hi guys, I need help. In December of 2017 i build my first PC: MB: AsRock Z370 Pro4 CPU: 8600k stock clock (can OC to 5Ghz but don't need so much juice ?) GPU: Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ RAM: ADATA XPG Z1 2x4GB OC @ 3000Mhz (from 2666Mhz) Cooler: CM Hyper 212X I knew the RAM can be more, but coming from Pentium E5700 with 4GB RAM and Radeon HD5760, this PC was a BEAST already! I've always wanted to upgrade to 16GB of RAM when I get some cash so a few months later I was looking at modules and prices and was thinking of getting another 2x4GB for a 4x4GB but saw on forums that's not as good as 2x8GB, not to mention that the Z1 RAM modules were no longer available in my country ?. Eventually when I finally found some money I started looking at (RGB) TridenZ, Vengance, HyperX and then I saw the new XPG Spectrix D41 2x8GB 3200Mhz. I bought it as its something not many people use in their builds so its quiet unique and ofc it looks awesome. Later when I got to install it at first it was running at 2666Mhz 1.20V but ofc I wanted to make it run at its advertised clock speeds. I've tryed manually clocking it to 1.35V and then using the XPM to get it to 3200Mhz but no luck, my PC can't even boot. Eventually it settled at 3000Mhz and 1.20V (never ran a benchmark but games are smooth). How can I (Can I?) make it run at 3200Mhz? The MOBO is said to support 4000+Mhz so I doubt it can't provide enough power for the RAM (see the screenshot). Does my CPU need to be OC as the clock speeds are getting too close RAM/CPU (3200/3600)?

Hallo everyone, Some time ago I bought a ASrock AB350m Pro4 with an ryzen 1200 and the cheapest 8GB Crucial ram. Everything worked fine, het cpu was at 4025MHz @ 1.275V and the RAM at 2800MHz (OC from 2133) with tightened timings. After some time I wanted to upgrade to some better ram, so I orderd this kit: https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/dark-pro-ddr4. I had the 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz 16-16-16-35 kit. But since then almost nothing works on my PC. Taskmanager is reporting 5ghz CPU speeds, the pc crashes constantly and if the RAM is at anything higher than 2400MHz it will fail to boot. I already sold my old ram because someone was desperate. But I had a 8GB 2133MHz corsair value stick laying around. But that one also refuses to boot with anything higher than 2400MHz. Meanwhile it is running at 3200MHz in my other PC. I returned my 16GB teamgroup kit because it was also droped during delivery and 1 week later I recived a new one. But its the exact same story with the new ram. What shoud I do? The ram one the Memory QVL is hella expencive and I don't have that kind of money. (The 16GB Teamgroup kit was discounted in the sale so that's why i could afford it). And I don't want my RAM to run at 2133MHz because than I just downgraded to a worse configuration that's 2x as expencive.

I noticed this a few weeks ago and decided to record a video of HWiNFO64 showing it happen. As you can see in the 15 second video posted below, my Bus Clock briefly jumps from 99.8 (normal) to 101.8. As expected, this also increases my CPU and DRAM frequency. I've only ever seen it do this at idle, but it's random. I have a screenshot of it hitting 102.4. Other times it's not so much. I've not experienced any instability, but this can't be normal, right? Anyone else seen something like this happen before? This board doesn't even support BCLK adjustment. https://i.imgur.com/IcAtGeE.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL-be6FrYXk UPDATE: It's not just happening at idle.

So guys i have been saving up for a motherboard for my i5 4690k and i've saved up enough with the help of my friend who lent me a few bucks to either get the killer or the pro4 but what would be a better choice? i'm thinking the killer because it just looks all around better but i guess i just want to know your guy's thoughts on it thank you :3

I see crossfire capabilities, so I'd think it would have SLI, but I can't find anywhere that says that it can. Could I, for example, use 2 GTX 770s with this motherboard?

I have a feeling my motherboard is causing me trouble when OC'ing my 4670k. I'm using a Asrock Z87 Pro 4 (with the latest BIOS) with an air cooling Coolermaster Hyper T4 and Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste, in a Coolermaster N400 case. Also I have a Thermaltake Evo Blue 2.0 750w PSU and Ripjaw X 2x8GB 2133mhz CL9 While I'm happy with the OC I get compared to the volts (that's if CPUZ is accurate). I can get a stable OC of 4.2ghz @ 1.164v which I find amazing. Where it gets strange is if i raise the voltage or the multiplier in even the smallest amounts BSOD in seconds or crashes during boot. It doesn't matter if I turn the auto voltage on or off and the BIOS says that I'm giving it 1.25v and I've had it up to 1.3v but nothing makes a difference. I have tried multiple stress tests for extended amounts of time and it'll never crash at 4.2 and doesn't get close to hot I run CPUID HW Monitor and I get even temps across every core within 5c (I think it got to about 68c at full load on 30c day). So I'm happy for the clock but I don't see why I can't hit 4.5 or even 4.3. Another thing I had trouble OC'ing my Gigabyte R9 270x OC Windforce to get a 5% core I had to decrease the power by 20% in Afterburner but might be unrelated. I'm upgrading my rig soon to watercooled z97 setup and possibly a 4790k but if I can use this chip and get a decent OC I'll use it for a while. Anyone have any ideas? I have to sleep now as it's getting late and work in the morning. I'll try to reply as fast as possible but through the week I don't have much spare time. Thanks in advance and any help is greatly appreciated. http://valid.canardpc.com/612zaz http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/7nvma/
