Hey. I've bought a PC like a half year ago and it's been crashing from time to time since a few month of use, can you take a look if that's something hardware or software please? Here's logs from file collection app: https://file.io/DKeWN2rYcJ2n. Thanks!

Where can I get spec if I bought mine through the amazon? https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B0CX5MX1YG/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Hmm, I just tried to download the Sysnative file collection output, in preparation for you registering it with PCS, but you've deleted it. Why would you do that?

Sorry for the late response but I didn't, maybe that was deleted by file storage. I'll upload that again once I have my PC registered, no worries

if you haven't already, remove this using the norton removal tool as explained in the link below, then just use windows defender for AV

Yeah did that already. I had to reinstall windows because it had lots of preinstalled programs which I didn't want

I rather think that from the four dumps your problem is almost certainly bad RAM. The bugcheck codes you have are these...
  • 0x1A MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (arg 1 = 0x144) - this was caused by a corrupt PTE (Page Table Entry)
  • 0x0A INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR (arg 1 = 0x10E) - this was caused because corrupt data was read in from the hibernation file
  • 0x3B SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (arg 1 = 0xC0000005) - this was caused when an attempt to create an object handle in memory failed with an invalid memory access
  • 0x3B SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (arg 1 = 0xC0000005) - this was caused by the Hypervisor failing to map a pageable cell entry due to an invalid memory access
The common denominator is all those is bad RAM.

The first thing I'd like you to do is to remove all RAM overclocks (via DOCP or XMP) and run that RAM at it's native (SPD) speed of 4800MHz. Let's see whether it's stable at that speed.

If you still get BSODs with no RAM overclock then we need to test your RAM (with no overclock)...
  1. Download Memtest86 (free), use the imageUSB.exe tool extracted from the download to make a bootable USB drive containing Memtest86 (1GB is plenty big enough). Do this on a different PC if you can, because you can't fully trust yours at the moment.
  2. Then boot that USB drive on your PC, Memtest86 will start running as soon as it boots.
  3. If no errors have been found after the four iterations of the 13 different tests that the free version does, then restart Memtest86 and do another four iterations. Even a single bit error is a failure.

Alright, disabled DOCP for now, will give it a couple of weeks to see if there will be any issues. Will post some results afterwards, thank you

Hi. So two weeks passed with no issues/BSOD's, seems like it was caused by DOCP setting. Now the question is - if I want to turn RAM overlock, how can I do that to avoid having blue screens?

It shouldn't be using DOCP, should be using EXPO, if there's problems at 5600MHz, it's simply poor RAM and I'd get it swapped out

I would check what BIOS version your on as well as anything before about April this year, RAM training on AM5 was still quite unreliable but that’s been fixed now in BIOS updates

Dont update the BIOS yourself without PCS approval as it could void your warranty

I'm going to have to disagree with @SpyderTracks because it might not be bad RAM. Both Intel and AMD CPUs have a maximum specified memory speed at which they are guaranteed to work. If you look at the spec for your Ryzen 7 7800X3D the guaranteed maximum RAM speed with two sticks is 5200MHz.

@SpyderTracks is of course quite right that most CPUs will play happily with RAM clocked far higher than this warranty speed, but speeds above the warranty speed are not guaranteed and may not be achievable on all CPUs. If your system is stable with the RAM clocked at 5200MHz then it's actually working as designed. Replacing the RAM likely won't help if the CPU is the limiting factor. You won't get the CPU replaced under warranty either if it's stable at 5200MHz.

Any modern CPU since early Core intels will happily support overclocked RAM, it's been standard for decades now.

The system if working correctly will have zero problem overclocking to 6000MHz on AM5. Over about 6400MHz, it becomes more reliant on the quality of that particular board.

If it's not, there are 3 areas to systematically check in order

1/. BIOS revision
2/. RAM
3/. CPU / Motherboard

But settling for disabling EXPO/XMP/DOCP is not a solution, it's merely nerfing the error showing.

But any OEM would replace a CPU if it couldn't overclock to the sold speeds, it's only AMD / Intel that *may* not, but AMD have never been known not to, whereas Intel certainly with current CPU issues, have used that as a backout clause often.

Just further to this, AMD have this approach all over their forums by AMD MVP's, so long as the board states it supports those speeds and the RAM is on the QVL list, then AMD would honour the warranty, and especially at the moment with 13th/14th Gen intel, that's happening quite frequently.

If a CPU supports those speeds when the build is shipped, then the only reason it suddenly wouldn't further down the line is either because of some update (BIOS) that's caused incompatibility, or some kind of degredation either with the RAM / CPU / Motherboard, but that needs correcting and any OEM would do their part to do that. If you were to buy a 6000MHz pair from a retailer and your system didn't run stabily on it, that retailer would swap it out as being faulty, they wouldn't point to the CPU.

But it's still best practice if ever doing an RMA directly with Intel / AMD just to say you never overclocked RAM as they COULD always say it's violated warranty terms

If you were manually overclocking outside of EXPO/DOCP settings, that would be another matter. Remember, official JEDEC configs now reach up to 8800MHz on DDR5

That's not in dispute. My point is that all modern CPU specs show a maximum (overclocked) RAM speed which is the maximum guaranteed RAM speed. Speeds above that may be possible, and commonly are possible, but they are not guaranteed to be stable.

In the interests of forum harmony I'll drop out of this thread.
