3801 have been so incredibly stable so far I'm not even sure I should try 4002. No random "black screen of death" (needed to press reset) few minute after boot, wlan card no longer randomly crash, pcie-e sound card doesn't channel swap anymore.
I'll probably try it with a backup of config and 3801 in hand, do you just run Cinebench before/after to see how it goes ?
Look like we should expect a "'1.2.0.3 Patch B" sooner or later for some lasting usb issue with Ryzen 5 but I'm on a 3700x so I'm directly concerned.
Well.. this stability didn't last long
First I'll write down my setup:
Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming | Ryzen 7 3700X | 4*4GB (32GB)Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G36C16U4W DDR4-3600 | RTX 3090 FE | SSD SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-1TB | Seasonic prime px-750 | Creative BlasterX AE-5 Plus |
It was stable with 3801 until the start of August and while I didn't change a thing I started to crash again.
It seem to happen more when I'm idling than when I'm running intensive load, usually soon after boot.
First once every few days then for the last 10 days when it's start happening it's like 5 times in a row until it calm down.
Same type of crash as before, both monitor turn off and while computer doesn't shutdown it's clearly in a failed state. Sometimes the picture stay one but frozen. If sound was playing it still work for a few seconds, maybe because I use a sound card.
Even had it happen on the bios.
It doesn't output any error in event log aside from the basic "kernel-power" because of brutal reboot.
I tried to update to 4002 and later 4021 but it didn't improve anything. Actually feel it got worse.
Then ran memtest from an usb, first time it froze after 2sec (no error) then second time it finished whole pass and found nothing.
I tried to use half and then single ram stick but no improvement on stability.
Tried to disable DOCP, global c-state, PBO, no luck.
Found some stuff about adding 0.01V offeset to vcore or to ram, same thing.
Being completely out of idea I grabbed a Ryzen 7 5800X on sunday (got a month to return it) and... it still crash like crazy.
Out of desperation I went back to 3801 (I need AGESA 1.2.0.2 or I get other issues), it crashed a bunch of time at first then... it got more stable again somehow, only a couple crash since then instead of a dozen.
I'm really confused on what is wrong.
Since it can happen even on bios it rule out any high level software. If it was the CPU it should be good now.
GPU is possible but sound unlikely since I already had it replaced after first one was dead on arrival (Yes i'm very unlucky whith hardware).
I'm starting to think i have a bad motherboard, but it's not like I can prove it or rma it without another one on hand. I guess I need to go to the store again unless someone reading this got an idea.
