Memory context restore gives blue screen on Strix b850a

Hi, I have an R7 7800X3D, 32GBx2 Corsair Titanium RAM at 6000MHz, and a ROG Strix B850A motherboard. Every time I turn on the PC, it takes a little over a minute to start. I updated the BIOS and drivers, but the startup is still slow. So, I enabled Memory Context Restore, and it takes about 15 seconds to start, but I get blue screens every time I start, and the error code is related to Memory Management. Is there any way to fix the slow boot, either with Context Restore or in another way?"

Hi @Forgo_Kun 

Before enabling MCR it's best to test DRAM stability. This is because MCR retains the last "successful" POST.
If the DRAM overclock is conditional, this can have ill effects.

Thanks for the response, tbh, I don't usually do custom overclock on any of my components, only enabled the MCR cause allows me to boot faster. The only thing I did was set the DOCP profile 1 to 6000MHz and everything else stayed at default. How can I test DRAM stability in this case? Or whats the best option here? 

DOCP is still overclocking - you can use the aforementioned test suites in the article above to check the system is able to pass sufficient coverage.

I would use Karhu.
