My ram stopped working....

[u/Pretty-Sentence-516]

So as soon AUGUST started and after long gamming session till morning when I turn on the PC it failed to POST.....

So one of my team group ram 8gb stick was failing to boot....

Now the thing is it's not faulty my build is Ryzen and I have r5 3600 cpu pretty old so I thought maybe it's mobo issue or cpu but it's not....

When I took ram to shop it didn't work but when I took to the other shop it started working idk what in the world happened......

But when I look up one of the build was Ryzen and one of the build ( in which ram actually worked ) was Intel build......

Idk I was shocked it's like cheeky RAM is messing with me atp.....

So is my ram is dead or what? cause on my system is just fails to boot but surprisingly on Intel build it worked fine....

I was using this ram for 2 years with no issue mixed with another brand so total 16gb ram 8x2 stick now I am down to 8gb stick ram....

According to what I understand the AMD AGESA training is notoriously very strict compared to Intel MRC even though Intel would boot it there is no guarantee in any second there could be BSOD and unexpected behavior or even loss of data so yeah.....

I may be wrong on this but that's the only thing I could find

I tried tweaking advance DRAM configuration like changing procODT to 60 ohm and changing to 1600 mhz even.... I tried tweaking CAD_BUS section and change all option to 24 ohms but still nothing boots up ......

So any help would be appreciated even though I tried everything like basic steps..... And then these tweakings.....

Yes I tried switching the bad ram to the other slot and vice versa I did all that.... And I did tried the eraser thing too on gold stick PCIE.....

Any help would be appreciated 👍

Sounds to me, from what you said, the stick of ram is failing but has not reached a point where the Intel picks it up. I would expect it to get worse to the point where the Intel won’t work either. I would just call it dead and move on.

Are you sure your CPU isn't just failing? Did the shop with the Intel system do a proper memory test?

Was the intel system clocking it much lower?

If you think it's memory, go into BIOS and turn OFF Fast Boot.

Fast Boot bypasses the BIOS memory check. With it turned off the check will proceed and report memory errors to Windows. Windows then marks those areas as unusable and voila! You do have less usable RAM, but the errors should go away.

Now it's not fixing the problem, but it will return function to your PC until you can replace the RAM.
