I built a PC a few years ago, but the biggest mistake I made was not checking the RAM compatibility after purchasing the motherboard and buying RAM according to my preference. I have a Rog strix x-570 e gaming motherboard and Gskill TridentZ 4000 mhz 4x8 32gb (F4-4000C18Q-32GTZR) ram. After installing it for the first time, I struggled a lot and the PC did not boot up. Finally, I realized that the problem was caused by the RAM, that’s why I was running the RAM at 3600 MHz. There was no problem until the beginning of this summer. One day the PC did not turn on and there was nothing I tried (bios flashback, removing the hardware and putting it back in, etc.) The last time I tried it with 2 ram instead of 4 ram and it booted. Anyway, until yesterday I only used 2 ram. However, when the PC did not start up yesterday, I tried the same steps again and when it did not boot up, I decided to try it again with only one RAM. This time it booted :D . But after I started using it with a single RAM, I can wacth video using chrome etc. without any problems, but I can’t play games, the fps drops is insane it doesnt go above 60-70 fp. Then I check the RAM usage, it doesn’t go below 70%, I’m about to go crazy. Why doesn’t my computer, which I could use with 4 RAM until the summer and then with 2 RAM, now not allow it? Can we do something from BIOS for this?

    Did you install the latest firmware for your motherboard?

    Overclocking might not work correctly and you can literally fry your Ryzen CPU when you overclock your RAM.

    Please try standard timings 3200 MHz or less.
