MSI B450 Tomahawk Max and Ram issue (please help)

[Waqas409]

Is there anyone who can help me set up this weird ram (custom settings) which is giving me trouble from last 3 years.

It works fine for like year or so and suddenly it starts acting up.

like last night, everything was working fine and now

if i put one stick from each, pc works fine but it does not work with 2 sticks anymore.

because of this issue i sold my other rams and went back to dual channel memory.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

Mobo: Tomahawk Max b450 (Latest bios)

Rams: Corsair vengeance lpx cl 18 ( 8x2 3600Mhz)

Things i have tried:

• - reinstalled amd chipset drive to the latest
• - reinstalled motherboard bios to the latest.
• - No XMP, everything in bios is default
• -Reseated CMOS
• -tried different memory slots for ram

Please help,

i'm thinking about moving to intel if this thing does not sort out.

It might be the CPU memory controller. Sadly, the Zen 2 CPU-s seem to be affected by memory controller issues as they age.

Have you tried reseating the CPU? Checked the pins?

Tried loading XMP and lowering the freq manually to 3200 to see if it becomes stable?

I have tried XMP on off, Also put the ram to default 2133 and also on 3200 
but only single sticks work.
Let me try reseating the CPU.

At least at stock your Ram should work fine.

You use slot A2 and B2 ?

No.
If i put both ram, there is no display and i see DRAM error on motherboard.
Now not even the single sticks are working.
Tried all the slots combination mentioned in the motherboard manual.

There must be something wrong.

I'd disassemble and reassemble maybe.

I'd try other Ram maybe.

I'd be lost like you maybe.
