AMD Ryzen Master Utilities causing system instability after overclocking

Hi everyone,

I've recently been trying to overclock my AMD Ryzen 5900X CPU using the AMD Ryzen Master Utilities software. I've followed the instructions carefully and applied a modest overclock to improve performance.

Initially, everything seemed fine, and I noticed some improvements in my system's speed. However, after a while, I started experiencing random crashes and freezes, especially when running demanding applications or games.

I've tried resetting the overclock settings and even reinstalling the AMD Ryzen Master Utilities software, but the issue persists. I'm not sure what's causing this instability, as my system was stable before overclocking.

My PC specifications are as follows:

- AMD Ryzen 5900X CPU
- NVIDIA RTX 3080 GPU
- ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming motherboard
- 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM
- Corsair RM850x PSU
- Corsair H150i Elite Capellix AIO cooler

Any advice on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Try to uninstall Ryzen Master completely. Check appdata and programdata folder, user folder, documents, everything you can find. Then go to BIOS and reset bios to factory settings (don't forget to enable XMP afterwards). If that doesn't work either, try to reset CMOS by removing the battery from motherboard and inserting it back in.

Hope this helps.
