Issues with a new build

[Ryszmarine]

So I built a new PC from both new parts and parts from my old setup, and I've been having some issues so far. First with the RAM and now random crashes that result in a restart with no hint as to what exactly went wrong.

 

The first was that a DIMM was defective (causing "memory_management" bluescreens) but I managed to determine which one it was using MemTest, then I simply removed the problematic DIMM.

The second is random lockups for a few seconds, with it then crashing and restarting (with it taking slightly longer to restart after this happens.)

 

I'm not sure if using an odd number of DIMMs can do this, although I will remove the third too just to be sure unless you guys say it's definitely not the cause.

Also, are there any known issues with the parts I am using in my setup that I may have missed before now? Especially stuff that might result in random crashes for no apparent reason. 

 

 

My setup:

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti (NVIDIA) OC Edition.
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 Hex Core @ ~3.5Ghz.
RAM: Juhor DDR4 32 GB (4x8GB), 24 GB (3x8GB) after a DIMM failed.
SSD: Kingston 120 GB.
HDD: Western Digital 1TB.
MOBO: Gigabyte B450M DS3H.
PSU: EVGA 500W.

 

Thanks in advance.

Reset bios to defaults, put your dimm back in, hope you had reinstalled windows after changing cpu/motherboard

BTW first gen ryzen is super sensitive with ram, so mismaching is a bad deal, and you could have got dimms with memeory from different manufacturers

what speed ram? try lowering the speed. 1st gen ryzen was very sensitive to speed and capacity

I see. However I got the RAM from the same manufacturer, it's just that the first one was actually defective and I had to take it's pair out too as Ryzen 1st Gens don't seem to like an odd number of DIMMs. If I were to refund it as I am still in the 30 day refund period, what processor would you recommend in it's place?

2400MHz, after a few hours of having an even number of DIMMs in and it not crashing, I can probably say that the odd number was the cause of the crashing. Is there a more stable processor you would recommend though?

Thank you both for the help, it's rare to see replies here it seems. I guess it's just because I'm new though.

any first gen is unstable with ram. 2nd gen got better, 3rd gen is almost perfect. obviously that would mean you would have to spend money to upgrade the cpu if you want to do that. 

if you are going to uograde the cpu, wait for holiday season for deals/discounts.
