PC not booting after changing ram speed

Go to solution Solved by ZheMattHatt,

So I fixed it by setting the overclock settings in the motherboard from manual back to auto, could it have been a voltage problem then?

Posted

Hey everyone! I just built my pc recently, and not long ago I enabled XMP as well for some extra performance, and it works perfectly fine... until I power off my pc or put it to sleep. And it's not just for XMP, it's for any ram speed setting other than the stock 2133mhz. After changing the speed, the pc boots into windows and everything works, but when I restart it, it won't boot ever again until I reset my cmos. What could be the problem?

My specs are:
ASrock B450M PRO4-f
1x8 G.skill Aegis 3200mhz because of budget reasons
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF

Could be your cpu, I have seen other posts about issues with the 1600AF and speeds over 2667, 2667 is the max spec amd really certifies but of course it can be done with higher

CPU: i5-4690k @ 4.4 GHz | RAM: 12GB DDR3 1333MHz | GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB

Thing is, even after just manually setting the speed to 2667 and changing nothing else, it still won't boot

its zen+ so RAM support can be iffy

you need to increase ram voltage

well, yeah. you'd need to adjust memory timings and possibly memory voltage because at 2133 it's most likely running on 1.2v rather than the 1.35 DDR4 usually takes to overclock

The XMP does change it to 1.35 and it still just goes into an infinite boot loop

I mean boot loop after powering it down. if i just change it in the bios and let it boot into windows, it works fine with no crashes, it's just that after i turn the pc off or put it to sleep that it's not gonna boot again until cmos reset
