GPU - RAM

[Deam0n]

Hello,

I have following setup:

ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS - AMD B550
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 5700 XT BE 8G, 8GB GDDR6
Patriot VIPER Steel 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000

power supply EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G5 - 750W

 

About a month ago I experienced a loss of signal on my monitor. After some time with much surprise I figured out it somehow DOES REACT on RAM modules. Meaning when I have changed slots then suddenly dedicated GPU started working again. So I tried to play around more with those ram slots just to diagnose the issue, but I wasnt able to replicate the problem again. But today, maybe a month later, It happened again. Everything behaved the same and once I moved RAM modules, it started working again. What could be the cause of this? May voltage between RAM and MB play some role? What can I do to pinpoint the problem more arucately? I dont want to buy a new motherboard only to find out it will happen again two months later... and I still have no idea how an issue between RAM and MB can affect GPU :-X ?

 

Thank you very much in advance.

(hope I created the topic in a proper way and in the right place. I am new here)

Do you use latest BIOS ? could be shennanigans between old BIOS and 5600X...

Else I'd rather say the RAM is the culprit, or it's just AMD weirdness, I've experienced RAM that didn't want to reach XMP 3600 in slots A but worked in slots B, or the other way round, ...

Thank you for very quick reply. I am actually using Bios version from 22/10/2020 . I am slightly afraid of updating it, because I have never done it, but I may eventually gather enough courage to do it. Its a good tip. Also I changed DRAM voltage from 1.2V (auto) to 1.35V.

The worst thing about this is that the problem is not consistent
