RAM is working shipshape, and tip top; no CPU OC, needed, so I'm hopeful when my 1080ti comes out of RMA!]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2018 14:30:57 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8250&PID=49325&title=z370-extreme-4-issues#49325 <![CDATA[Z370 Extreme 4 issues : I checked the &#034;event viewer&#034;...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8250&PID=49200&title=z370-extreme-4-issues#49200 Author: JoseyWhales

I checked the "event viewer" and it was event 41, task 63 "Kernel-Power" meaning it didn't shut down properly, at some point, as I turned back to see the monitor i seen it shutdown and recorded the time of the random shutdown, and saw the shutdown time on event viewer.

I have windows 10 pro(64bit**), I recently cleared ALL of my memory off the SSD's, I have 3 500gb SSD, one is the NVMe, before i cleared all of my memory from the disk drives, my Windows 10 was up to date, and I was still getting the same errors. Now that it is clear, I have a clean drive with errors, and my Windows10pro is fully up to date. I did "reset windows 10". I am wondering if I should download it to another drive, instead

z370 extreme4-motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb@3000mhz
intel i7-8700k
EVGA GTX1080ti
EVGA 850BQ Bronze rating 850w PSU (about a year and a half old) These are all brand new parts^

SSD's are:
Corsair Force GS 500gb SSD(4years old)
SanDisk 500gb SSD (1 year old)
Samsung Evo960 NVMe 500gb (1 week old)

I also just recieved my replacement RAM today, so I will update about that as well.

Make sure it wasn't windows updating itself, there should be a notification in the event log if there was a problem. If not, then odds are the OS decided you absolutely need the latest MS bloat update. My system restarts a couple of times a month because of this. I never shut my main rig down so it doesn't get the chance to do it at boot up/shut down.

I don't think this will help but I felt I should mention that a lot of issues can be caused by Windows these days. When you are having any kind of stability issues it always pays to make sure your OS is fully up to date. Sometimes it's even necessary to download the latest installation media and do a fresh install then update. This has been a constant pain on AMD systems but may apply to intel systems too.

I had hangups and BSODs on my Ryzen system for months before I finally figured out the cause, completely by accident. I did a fresh OS install on it with a clean SSD and the problems all went away. I had spent months troubleshooting, swapping RAM, PSU, motherboard and GPU and nothing helped. The funny thing is, I had done fresh installs countless times. The one that worked was because I lost my OS install flash drive and had to make a fresh one with the latest download. That turned out to be what solved it. My system would not install a particular update and that update is what it needed. 

Could you list your full system specs too please, including PSU model and age (new, old etc).

My system rebooted on its own again, after leaving it on for just a day, with OC base clock to CPU, and with 3000mhz speed@ 1.36v (a tenth higher). So Either something is wrong with the RAM, or it's the Motherboard.

So far, no issues on my RAM, after an "Auto CPU OC" was enabled, odd. I did some stress tests and so far negative results or BSoD's. I don't understand why I have to OC my CPU, for my XMP to work correctly. Hopefully the replacement will fix the issue. I dunno, I'm new to this type of thing.

I put in the 2 suspected "faulty" RAM pieces made sure the timings for "3000mhz" were correct and used the "auto OC" to the CPU to see if it clears up the errors.]]> Sun, 01 Apr 2018 17:00:41 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8250&PID=49101&title=z370-extreme-4-issues#49101 <![CDATA[Z370 Extreme 4 issues : Alright, I&#039;ll give this a...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8250&PID=49090&title=z370-extreme-4-issues#49090 Author: JoseyWhales

Alright, I'll give this a try, thank you. I also just reinstalled and cleared everything, so it's gonna be one huge headache from here...Anyway thanks again, I'll update if something good, or bad happens. Version of my RAM says on the chip "v5.30"

Yes the Corair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 v 3.32 and v 5.30 are on Asrock QVL list. Do you know which version ram you have ?
The ram should be in A2 and B2 to run in Dual channel mode. If just one stick it should be in A2.
If you move the ram to diff slot be sure to clear CMOS and then go back to BIOS and re-apply the XMP profile.

I bought Corsair Vengeance LPX- x2 8GB STICKS(16gb total), CL15 (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) 3000Mhz RAM. I found out one of the sticks were bad, through memtest86+, after just temporarily leaving this one stick until replacement, I managed to get one BSoD kernel_security_check_failure, anyway I have found the QVL list and I see the part number in it. My RAM memory is compatible..right? So just to be sure I came here to ask.

Additional info: Swapped the RAM slots from A2,B2) to A1,B1) and so forth, right now I have been too lazy to remove my single good stick out from Slot A1.

Thanks. ]]> Sun, 01 Apr 2018 06:14:33 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8250&PID=49077&title=z370-extreme-4-issues#49077
