Crash Ryzen 7 5800X

Hello,

I recently crashed my Windows 11, corrupted system files, basically a mess. So I wanted to reinstall Windows and go back to 10. Since I tried reinstalling W10, my R7 isn't working anymore :-:

My config:

R7 5800x

A520m DS3H

Rx 5500 xt

M.2 Western Digital

RM850i

500gb ssd

32gb 3200mhz (4*8)

So I took everything out, cleaned everything, and put it back together. I turn on the PC, and the same error occurs, namely, the PC starts the motherboard POST, and then turns off immediately after. So I had fun testing each component and put my old R5 3600x back in. Since then, I have no problems. Reinstalled W10, updated BIOS to F20d. And just in case, I tried again with the R7, and it’s still the same thing.

Never dropped, never mishandled, no missing/damaged pins.

Help me???

    Hi

    If you are sure that no pins are missing/bent, you should try your 5800x in another PC, but it indeed seems like it's the issue...

      I think it's the motherboard. After an hour of use with the R5, it crashes by itself. I tried OCCT tests, but as soon as I click on start, it freezes immediately.

      I have two photos when I launch OCCT that highlight the motherboard and its temperatures, as well as the CPU and RAM at frame - 1ms before the crash.

      The PC crashes right when I click on start (it's not a heating problem either). Also, once it has crashed, if I restart it whether it's within minutes or hours after, it just gets stuck on the motherboard POST at startup. I have to turn it on, it stays on POST, turn it off and turn it back on from the back, and then I have access to Windows. Just like in the Windows 10 event log, there are no errors.

    Hello,

    If you can, it would be a good opportunity to change to a more advanced motherboard at the same time, now that prices for Ryzen 5000 motherboards are low. For example, this one if your case supports standard ATX motherboards.

      A friend ordered me an A520 Aorus Elite, I don't know how good it is, it was his choice. With that, he wanted to give me a gift, so he got an r9 5900x and a 4060. I don't know how the three combine together. Any opinions?

    To get back to your failure, what you describe may indeed be a motherboard problem, but it could also be a weakness in the power supply.

    Yes, that's not surprising; for hardware failures, software cannot detect anything.

    So he got an R9 5900X and a 4060.

    With an A520 it works; let's say that if we're looking for the minor details, the ideal chipset for 5800X or 5900X is the B550, the A520 being the low-end, but well, it's not a big deal.

    I doubt it's the power supply, it's a RM850i, super reliable, never hot, and when the PC crashes, the only place that's boiling is the motherboard's power supply (VRM). I think it's giving up...

    So if I understand correctly, an R9 5900X on the A520 isn't ideal, but it doesn't hinder performance? I'm going to do a lot of video editing, so I'm actually worried about the VRMs on the A520 if I put in a "big" CPU.

      You'll only know by trying.

    I’m a bit lost. I don’t know if lolo who asked the initial question and loiclemason are the same person. Anyway, we might run into trouble if we put a powerful CPU that generates a lot of heat on an entry-level motherboard. Motherboards powered by the A520 chipset are generally considered entry-level. In principle, this shouldn’t affect performance, but it seems that the A520 only supports PCIe gen3.0 at most. This could limit the performance of high-end GPUs that use PCIe gen4, for example.
