Ram 1067mhz instead of 3000mhz and boot issues

[atzeehh]

Hey guys!

recently bought a new pc and im using a asrock x370 pro4. i have a msi armor rx580 and a ryzen 5 2600x and corsair 2x8 3000mhz ram ( i thnink oc)

sometimes when im starting my pc i get the usual blinking stripe or bar in the left top corner and then it just keep on blinking.
My fix is to just restart the pc few times and in between i turn the power supply on and off. but as you can imagine im kinda worried. i dont know what it is.

I also have this problem that xmp wont work, then i get the same issue and now im stuck at 2133 but my ram can go up to 3000mhz.

I was considering a bios update but ive never done this and there are many options at asrock, plus all the warnings.

What do you guys think? thanks for your help!

Do you have multiple XMP profiles in your BIOS? If not, try manually setting the ram to like 2800 or something

i have tested that before, but didnt help... do you think the blinking bar problem is related to the ram?

Sounds more like an operating system problem, once you see that blinking bar it's the disk trying to read

Okay so first when i bought my new upgrades i kept my windows, so my old hdd and ssd and my power supply. but then i had this issue and i thought maybe its windows, so now im running a fresh windows, so that would be strange right, windows is on my ssd

It's possibly trying to boot to the hard drive, which has no operating system. What happens when you manually select the boot device?

aaaah, wait is it possible that its on automatic so it searches for a boot device?
