Hi,
Since a month or so I keep getting blue screens with random error codes at random times. Sometimes it's while playing a game, other times while just having the PC on, not even logged in.
It occurs since I bought a new PSU, the Cooler master Masterwatt Lite 700w. Probably because I've activated XMP. Before buying this PSU I had some underpowering 500w PSU which didn't allow me to use xmp. I've driven the RAM on non XMP for 2.5 years. If I try to run my ram on XMP profile 2 (3466mhz), for which my ram is specified, It BSoD's right away, that's why I am running it on 3200.

Can anyone help me with why my PC keeps crashing? I try to avoid resetting Windows, as I'm literally doing this every 3 month's because Windows is a piece of garbage.
 

Thank you.

Specs:
 

Mainboard: MSI B450m Gaming Plus (wit latest Bios: 7B87v1F3)
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x

GPU: RTX 2060 Super MSI gaming plus (with latest driver: 466.27) <- Performed clean installs multiple times since my PC keeps crashing

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 2x16gb 3466mhz

PSU: CoolerMaster Materwatt lite 700w

Main SSD: Samsung 970 EVO NVmE 2.0 500gb

OS: Latest Windows 10

I like W10 a lot.

Does your system run ok with ram at default speed ?

Not really.

Games are ok, but I also play FlightSimulators quite a lot, which run very bad.
I'm getting outperformed by Laptops with a 2060, not even a super. I have a really expensive Ram and I want to use it's full potential.

Does your system have bsods with ram at default speed ?

The Microsoft FlightSimulator is very demanding.

Ram speed doesn't do much, often nothing.

If you don't quote us, we won't know you answered

No Blue Screens with Default Speed but even in less demanding Simulators like Prepar3D it's almost unusable with that speed.

Did you try with only one stick of ram ? 16GB is good already

Did you try other ram slots ?

Didn't yet, but found out that my CPU should only support 2933mhz, which is a suprise to me cuz on the Box of the RAM there's some ryzen logo and I was using the top level ryzen, from that time.
