Ahh I see. I didn't know that overlapping apps could cause errors. Thanks for the tid-bit of info. 

I'll try to reset the bios to default settings and try again. If that doesn't work do you think it would be crazy to re-flash the bios with bios 2.50? 

I believe this is the crucial memory: 

Ballistix Sport LT Gray 8GB DDR4-2400 UDIMM (BLS8G4D240FSB) 
Specs: DDR4 PC4-19200 ??16-16-16 ??Unbuffered ??NON-ECC ??DDR4-2400 ??1.2V ??1024Meg x 64 ??/div>

I'm using 2x of these in dual channel configuration, which I can confirm is working at the rated speeds. 

Thanks again for the help.

Is it possible to update back to the a previous bios? I'd give up voltage control just to not have to load up Ryzen Master everytime!

Appreciate the help. 


If you run more than one monitoring app at a time odd are this is what the errors are generated. The chip responsible does NOT like being accessed by more than one app. Been this way since... well, decades now. Os since I began my computing and building.

Please, when home post the Model of that memory please.

You can go back, but keep in mind you'll be forfeiting the newer AGESA releases rolled into the new BIOSes.

I'm at work right now but let me see if I can't look up exact specs via model numbers. Also a small note: This motherboard has given a ton of temp/voltage monitoring errors, with CPU-Z showing voltages well over 2.4v on vcore Dead.  HWmonitor will say one thing, CPU-Z another, AIDA64 entirely different. 

CPU: Ryzen 1400 
Motherboard: AB350M Pro4 mATX (bios 2.50, latest agesa update)
Ram: Ballistix Sport LT Gray 8GB DDR4-2400 UDIMM x2 1.2v (16G ran in dual channel, confirmed in 2.50 bios)
GPU: MSI Gaming X RX580 4G
PSU: Corsair CXM 550 Watt
SSD: Micron 120g M.2 Sata SSD / I've also booted off a PNY 120g SSD (cloned drives, have the m.2 in the bottom m.2 sata specified spot.)
HDD: Some Toshiba 1TB. 
OS: Windows 10, have power plan set to 'performance instead of default'. 

I'm considering waiting for the next bios update to see if this issue is resolved, as it's not that bad only being able to OC via Ryzen Master. Is it possible to update back to the a previous bios? I'd give up voltage control just to not have to load up Ryzen Master everytime!

Appreciate the help.

Hey all,

I've ran into a bit of an issue while trying to overclock my Ryzen 1400 with the AB350M PRO4 (mATX, Bios 2.50) and was wondering if anyone had a solution or had a similar experience. Previously, I was able to overclock the 1400 to 3.7 at around 1.28v in the bios (non-updated bios, think p.1.0?). It only allowed me to set a desired frequency and didn't allow you to change the voltage, so it automatically set that voltage. This wasn't a very satisfactory experience, as I couldn't change anything else. (Note: It still worked!). 

So I read up on the new bios update (2.50) and downloaded it. Once it updated, I was able to manually change voltage! Great! But the minute I try to change anything from auto in the voltages/frequency and then try to boot the screen stays black. I have to manually shut the system down and clear cmos from the jumper. 

Oddly enough I was still able to overclock from Ryzen Master with (2.50), while I wasn't previously able to with the shipped default bios. 

Anyhow, just wanted to see if anyone has experienced issues with overclocking from bios with 2.50. Am I missing something? I tried turning Cool' and Quiet off and then trying to set a normal and 'safe' OC, but it failed and just won't post. 

Thanks!

TLDR: With default bios (1.10) I was able to overclock from bios but not ryzen master. After updating to (2.50) motherboard won't accept any bios OC, no post black screen, but allows Ryzen Master OC'ing. 



Odds are, by what you describe, it's memory related. Or, more likely BIOS related considering the platform is still maturing.

Please post you system specs with as much detail as you know.
