Hello,

I've recently purchased the X370 TaiChi motherboard along with the G Skill 3200Mhz Flare X Ryzen Ram & the Ryzen 7 1700 CPU.
My BIOS settings are as followed:

OC Tweaker
CPU Freqency(Mhz): 3800
CPU Voltage(V): 1.35v - LLC2
XMP Settings Profile for 3200Mhz C14
SoC Voltage: 1.1v - LLC2

Advanced > CPU Configuration
Cool n Quiet: Disabled
C6 Mode: Disabled

Advanced > AMD CBS > Zen Common Options
Core Performance Boost: Disabled
Global C State: Disabled

Since I'm using 1DPC (2 modules total) single rank modules (GSkill Flare X 3200Mhz 16GB Kit) my settings for optimal performance is: 

BankGroupSwap: Disabled
BankGroupSwap Alt: Enabled
GearDownMode: Disabled
1T

So using these settings I've managed to get into Windows, do some benchmarks.. gaming and even Prime95 with no WHEA errors.

But as soon as I shut down the computer or restart, I usually get a BIOS error code with black screen.
Something like 68 or 0d etc.

Can somebody help me out?

Kind Regards,
Haaviko.

as strange as it sounds try
bankgroup auto /enabled
geardown auto/enabled

failing that set the ram timings to 16/14/14/14/

i also have a taichi and have been playing with my gskill trident z for quite some time now

what i can get from the ram in windows and on warmboot/restart is much tighter and faster than any cold boot (mine will always do the boot loop thing and then reset defualts)

yet runs all day without issue when set and rebooted warm

Yeah I can easily set the BGS Auto and GDM Auto and don't have the issues, but the truth is.. I've noticed better performance using GDM Off, BGS Off, BGS Alt On for my setup.

no reboot issues here.

my 1700 @3.9ghz, used offset+pstate way so did not set oc mhz and cpu volt in oc tweaker directly...offset volt 0.1625(1.35v - 0.1875v), cpu llc 1, soc 1.1v, soc llc auto, DRAM volt 1.4v, pstate0 fid (the hex for 3900) .. ran CPU:OCCT for 10 min was stable, ran cinbench without crashing, before ran aida64 1 hour for same setting @3.875 no crash...should be ok for my use for now, only play the game pubg and don't need to do 100% cpu stuff like video encoding...will test more tomorrow.From reading everyone's post on reddit and overclock.net for a week i consider my chip average in da lottery. I think raising DRAM voltage, raising SOC voltage, set CPU LLC to 1 but SOC LLC to auto was the key for me..without changing these 3 places i would never get to 3.9 stablely using 1.35v. Oh and my Flare X Cas 14 ram ran at 3200 using XMP profile, cooler is Noctua D15 AM4 edition. Please note I did not change anything else in the bios such as Cool n Quiet, C6 Mode, Global C-state etc, let me know if I should to make it even better.

did u change ram voltage ,soc voltage and soc LLC?  ..i think you got a great chip and mine will never be able to pull this off. 

by power saving stuff you meant the following 4 items?

Advanced > CPU Configuration
Cool n Quiet: Disabled
C6 Mode: Disabled

Advanced > AMD CBS > Zen Common Options
Core Performance Boost: Disabled
Global C State: Disabled

So you get "something like 68 or 0d etc."

POST codes are rather specific, and your statement is rather unspecific. How are we supposed to know what the issue might be if we don't know what POST code is shown on the Dr Debug display? You gave us two codes, and etc? What it etc?

Then you said this usually happens when you shutdown or restart. So it is also intermittent? Doesn't happen all the time? Intermittent issues are the most difficult to diagnose.

So sometimes a shutdown fails, and the PC remains on with a black screen? POST does not run on a shutdown, but you see a code displayed? A POST code on a failed cold boot or restart, when POST runs is when the codes are displayed.

If POST fails, a single code is displayed and stays displayed. Is that not happening in your situation? I ask because of the "68 or 0d etc." thing. POST codes that are shown and then disappear means that test passed.

Going with 68, which is Chipset Initialization error, that is a difficult one, could be many things. The standard cure for a chipset initialization error is simply clearing the UEFI/CMOS or pressing the Reset button. No idea if you tried that, and if so, does it work even temporarily?

What UEFI/BIOS version are you using?

Do you get this behavior with say stock CPU and memory speeds?

Your memory at 3200 is right at the edge of stability with a Ryzen system. My FlareX 3200 is not stable at 3200 with a different Ryzen board, I must use it at 2933. Have you tried a lower memory speed, say 2933 or 3033?

Have you tried setting the three memory options you listed at their default settings? GearDownMode, per AMD rules, is enabled by default above a memory speed of 2667 (any memory OC), so Auto = Enabled. Setting it to Disabled is pushing it. Your SOC voltage at 1.200V might help.

No information about the rest of your hardware, or Windows version being used, or AMD chipset driver version installed, and Windows Power Plan. Chipset problems can be related to hardware connected to the chipset, such as the drives in the system.

If you were hoping for a well known, simple fix, I'm sorry but I don't have one for you. Your issue is rather unique, not something we often or at all see in Ryzen related threads.
