New Ryzen build stability issues

[Bob Smith]

Hi guys,



Just built my new Ryzen 5 1600 system and it's fast and all however I'm getting hangs and random BSODs with the system (even with settings on auto).



Some of the errors include

-kernel security check failure (Often - during computer startup / crashes)

-DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION! (sometimes)



My system:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 + stock cooler

RAM:Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2x8 (CMK16GX4M2A2400C16) not on official QVL list for the MB* (maybe the issue?? no extra stick of ram to confirm)

MB: Asrock AB350M PRO4

GPU: Zotac Gtx 1050

Power supply: Corsair CX450M (new version)

SSD: WD blue 250GB ssd

OS: Windows 10


In the OS I would often also get errors messages in regards to applications getting blocked access to the graphics card.

I'm no expert on Ryzen, but I had to manually raise the RAM voltage to 1.35V on my 1700X system to get it stable.

Are you running the latest stable BIOS for your motherboard?

Is your UEFI boot set to legacy or secure?

Update: It seems like one of the two modules is defective. Both of them together can boot into windows however only one of the two of the ram modules can post individually.

I hope that defective RAM is all it is. I've got the same combo coming my way in a few days. My RAM is a 16GB kit of Team Dark DDR4-2400.
