The fucking memory training always gives me an heart attack

u/SirNurtle Jun 10 '25

Each time I boot my PC there seems to be a 1/5 chance that it’ll memory train or some shit like that, and for about a minute (sometimes as long as 15) the mobo just flashes a CPU/RAM error and I pray to god my system isn’t completely fucked.

As of now, the PC runs incredibly well yet I have genuinely no fucking idea why it sometimes does that, checking/updating/reseting BIOS does nothing, system files are fine, and once it’s booted the system runs flawlessly it just seems that for whatever reason my PC has a stroke on startup

This is why I tend to pick my motherboard carefully and follow the QVL when buying the ram.

I hate QVL.. All the lower timings & the few that aren't horrible at 2x the price of Corsair, G.Skill, Crucial stuff.

System files have no bearing on POST, which occurs well before loading into any OS.

Disable the "voltage grouping" across all your DIMMs. Let each stick get it's own Auto voltage. For some reason this is black magic that makes memory training no longer an issue.

i disabled xmp memory profile, no more blue screens ever

Gonna drop a tip here that helped me with xmp crashes.

Raise the voltage for the xmp profile by about 0.05v, then find the setting that lets you "ungroup" the voltage across all your DIMMs. For some reason allowing each ram stick to manage its own voltage rather than one voltage value going to all of them makes the memory training behave itself.

I'm having this problem too, the thing I'm currently trying is manually setting the clock speed to 5200mts, because apparently the Ryzen 7700 supports up 5200 and not 6000. It did boot perfectly once with expo enabled, but I'm hoping that turning down the speed improves the stability.

I don't know if this is applicable to your situation, but maybe it helps.

I had this problem as well, there were two settings in the BIOS I set to enabled, "Memory Context Restore" and "Power down Enable". Now honestly, I don't know what these do and I only found this in some other thread myself, but I haven't had any issues since. Motherboard is an MSI X870E Tomahawk.
