Start by disabling your overclock. You can also try reseating your RAM.

i fixed it .. went to reseat the cpu, not properly and bent and broke a pin .. after an hour of straightening pins i pulled the board and made sure the cpu was seated properly and now the system sees all 32gb and ram is 3000mhz and cpu 3.8 ghz at 1.36

Build

CPU : RYZEN 7 1700 

BOARD : MSI X370 CARBON 

GPU : DUAL GTX 1070'S IN SLI

RAM : 32 GB GEIL RGB LUCE 

SSD : 1 X 2TB NVME , 1 X 250 GB NVME 

 

So I have had this Cpu on a number of boards and was able to overclock it 3.95mhz consistently at 3.785v however on this board the highest i got was 3.750mhz  at 3.33v 

 

So this is my issue.. I had it overclocked yesterday, no issues, 3.75mhz and my ram was at 3000mhz 

Now windows is only letting 15.9 out of 32 gb be usable ... I am not able to overclock my cpu at all ...

 

All I did was reseated the cpu block .... I have not touched the ram ...

reset the CMOS, it should fix it but it will delete everything on the bios

Main PC [The Rig of Theseus]:

Secondary PC [Why did I bother]:

CPU: AMD Athlon 3000G | GPU: Vega 3 iGPU | RAM: 8 GB DDR4 3000 MHz | Case: Corsair 88R | PSU: Corsair VS 650 | SSD: WD Green M.2 SATA 120 GB | Motherboard: MSI A320M-A PRO MAX | OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations

Server 2 electric boogaloo [A waste of electricity]:

Model: intel NUC NUC5CPYH | CPU: Celeron N3050 | RAM: 2GB DDR3L 1600 MHz | SSD: Kingston UV400 120 GB | OS: Debian Bullseye

 

Laptop:

Photography:

 

Cameras:

Full Frame digital: Sony α7

APS-C digital: Sony α100

Medium Format Film: Kodak Junior SIX-20

35mm Film:

 

Lenses:

Sony SAL-1870 18-70mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 

Sony SAL-75300 75-300mm ƒ/4.5-5.6

Meike MK-50mm ƒ/1.7

 

PSA: No, I didn't waste all that money on computers, (except the main one) my server cost $40, the intel NUC was my old PC (although then it had 8GB of ram, I gave the bigger stick of ram to a person who really needed it), my laptop is used and the second PC is really cheap.

I like tinkering with computers and have a personal hatred towards phones and everything they represent (I daily drive an iPhone 7, or a 6, depends on which one works that day)

Does all your RAM report in the BIOS? If you check Task Manager does the 2nd half your your RAM appear as Hardware Reserved?

 

Start by disabling your overclock. You can also try reseating your RAM.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.
