Ryzen 7 3700X DRAM led lit and nothing but the bios

Hi guys, I've been part of the master race for about six years and I just updated my i5 4690 to a ryzen 7 3700X and 16 gb of ballistix memory 3000Mhz on an ASUS prime X570 pro.

Everything worked perfectly right from the start, I was able to boot on windows and do everything I needed until I started playing with Ryzen Master software.

I bumped some frequences but not much else.

When it came to regulating voltages I put the SOC voltage to 1.1 and the CLDP VDDG to 1.1 as shown in the slide down here, just because I wanted to make my memory go a little faster and I've heard that ryzen really benefits from high speed memory.

The problem came when I did the reboot, my pc got stuck on the black screen with the DRAM led on. I thought I fried my ram and panicked, but when I hard reset the bios it showed my ram, my cpu, and the output came from the graphics card. Everything all right then? I wouldn't be here...

When I pressed save and exit, without apporting any changes the pc got stuck on black screen again, and I couldn't do nothing until I reset the bios again.

I really don't know what's the problem, I don't get if there is something faulty in my system (I really hope there isn't) or if I'm missing something.

I tried creating a bootable usb to reset windows but, as before, as soon as I get out of the bios the DRAM led was on and the screens were black so I couldn't do anything.

I really hope that the informations I gave were exaustive enough and I'll take any help I can get

okok so you are saying that when I reset the bios via CMOS battery removal it is no more compatible with my cpu even if it came with 3rd-gen ryzen support out of the box?

i wouldn't use ryzen amster to oc the ram, do it directly in bios. it's easier to reset to defaut if it fails to boot

I dare to correct you, I will never touch my system again when I'm able to overcome this issue 😂

This.
It's always best to do your tweaking in the BIOS itself since OC'ing software can cause problems like the OP is having.

It does sound like a borked BIOS issue, probrably caused by the software making something get scrambled in it.

 

If possible just reflash the BIOS and see what it does.

@ProjectEclipse If you ever decide to try it again just do it all in the BIOS, it's safer that way than relying on OC'ing software.

I absoultely will, to flash my bios I just head to the ASUS page of the board, download the latest bios, unzip it in a flash drive, stick it into the pc, head into the bios and flash it from the setting I found there. Correct?
