PC wont load windows with even minor overclock

[daniel_kocunik]

Hi, i'm having issues with my Ryzen overclock. 

I've owned my current PC for well over a year now and have been running an overclock on it since i bought the system. 

I purchased the Ryzen platform due to its good overclocking potential. Everything has been working flawlessly until recently. Out of the blue i have been receiving an error message sporadically which stops me from booting into windows.  *screenshot from google* 

Loading optimised defaults works, but I then I dont have my overclock anymore. 

If I only overclock my memory to 3000mhz the PC boots fine. 

As soon as i bump up the CPU by 0.1ghz it will come up with the error again. 

I have also flashed the BIOS with the latest firmware f25.

Also not sure if its relevant but I have noticed a substantial decrease in CineBench performance since building the system from roughly 1272 to 1075

 

My specs are;

GPU: MSI GTX 1070

CPU: ryzen 5 1600 (was previously able to achieve 3.9ghz OC with +0.138V dynamic Vcore added)

RAM: 2x8gb (16gb total) 3000mhz corsair vengence LPX

MOBO: gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 

PSU: Corsair RM750i

 

Any insights would be appreciated.

You might need some fans to blow cold air onto the VRM-s and you'd want to try the older BIOS (or a newer one if there's a one).

The solution is obvious.

Don't OC your CPU.

Problem solved

Lol, cool story.....

Pain in the finger, we cut the finger. problem solved.....

Obviously not overclocking is a simple solution, but apart from the significant performance trade-off for not overclocking, its seems unreasonable or odd even that increasing the clock speed by 0.1ghz would result in an error, especially since the normal boost would take it well above that

looks like another case of

"i see no issue leave leaving an overclock on forever........my computer is broken please help me figure out this super hard mystery"

After you overclock to 3200mhz does it POST?

Yes anything above the stock clockspeed will post and bring me to the error message "boot failure detected".

The overclock I had was hardly strenuous on the system. Temps were well below anything that would cause issues. The "mystery" for me now is why it would refuse to go up in even 0.1ghz. Surely anyone that knows what overclocking is, would think that was odd, given the context.

You mentioned that you overclocked for ~1.5 years and everything went fine, did you noticed any system slowdowns, lags, hungs, etc. when you last time succesfully booted your pc while overclocked?

Yeah what with all those sensors monitoring the lifespan and temp of the vrms not the mention the on screen display that shows exactly how stressed each and every surface mounted component is. Not like they just stuck a temperature sensor and a voltage meter on a cheap board and called it a day or something. /s

 

Anyway...... long term damage in any machine will arise from things that aren't being monitored , basically no warning light = no way of knowing until it breaks. Should be happy the machine still at least works.

No, for all intensive purposes the overclock had been running as intended. This error had come up a few times before (in the last week or two)  after a restart, but entering into the bios and rebooting from there fixed the issue. It's only now that trying to boot with any OC no matter how minor ends up in the error code.

I would suggest try to use diffrent psu, take from friend or from another pc and try boot while overclocked, if boots succesfully well psu is dying, if not try another cpu if boots succesfully your cpu is dying, if not motherboard issues.
