Ryzen 1200 OC issues

[alig26]

i have a ryzen 1200 CPU. I have been able to overclock it to 3.85ghz using 1.35 volts. The issue i am having is when i overclock my CPU it wont post most of the time. I usually have to do a hard restart at least 15 to 20 times before it will post/start up. I know the overclock is stable because I stress tested it using prime 95 for 6 hours without any issues. My ram is also overclocked to 3000 mhz at stock voltage (1.35) and stress tested using windows 7 memtest and memtest 86 till 200% coverage. I also stress tested both using Intel burn test repeated 20 times. Is anyone else having the same issues I am?

i had the same problem

its most probably the ram. lower the ram speed

if you noticed when it finally boots up it boots up in safe mode and ram is at stock ddr4 clocks (you can also see it from task manager)

i have windows 7 and it doesn't boot up in safe mode. Also my ram is overclocked when checked using cpuz. But i can try your suggestion

unfortunately it didn't work. i had the ram on auto and am still experiencing the same issues. I am seriously considering selling my ryzen cpu and buying Intel. This is completely unacceptable.

The only thing I can recommend is a bios update. They tend to improve system stability and memory compatibility while fixing other bios related stupidity. I also use an ASRock b350 board and it hasn't ever failed to post. I hope you're not confusing the "feature" where the system may power cycle a few times. My board does this occasionally when I've pushed a memory overclock it doesn't like, but if I leave it alone, it'll either post with my overclock, or it'll clear my changes and revert to bios defaults.

For what it's worth, Ryzen is still too new to have all the 'kinks' worked out. If you're looking for something that's going to work out-of-the-box without fuss, then Intel may be the better choice.

Sounds like ram training sucks on the bios update to lastest one if it isn't already

yeah, I'm surprised it was still happening with his ram on Auto. Bios update highly recommended.

my bios is already on the latest issue. and no i dont think  i am confusing it that feature (power cycling). this is a normal occurrence when ever i turn on my computer. it wont post for the first 15 to 20 times. then the computer will post fine and work fine.

 

ya i set my ram to auto and its still occurring.  

 

basically the computer will turn on i.e. the fan will start spinning and motherboard led light will come on and GPU too. but no display until i hard reset it 15 to 20 times.
