Just updated my system from a Ryzen 1700 to a 3700X.  Brand new MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wi-Fi motherboard, 16 gig Gskill 3200 memory, Ryzen 3700x with Coolermaster 240 AIO. Fresh install Windows 10 on Samsung EVO Pro NVME ssd.  I'm using my MSI RTX 2080 and Corsair HX850 Pro power supply from the 1700 system. The new system keeps randomly rebooting whether gaming or  watching YouTube.  Can go for days then all of a sudden it just restarts. No BSOD, no info in event logs except a Kernal 41 (63) error.  Its not a temperture problem as the the cpu never goes above 75 under max load all cores running prime 95.. Idles around 45-50.   Have stress tested for hours running Heaven, Prime95, Heavy Load etc without a single problem then I could be surfing  browsing the web or watching a YouTube video and it will suddenly crash restart.  Reading other posts with the same issue, people have suggested its a power supply problem.  So I swapped out the Corsair for a Brand new Thermaltake 750 Gold and still the same problem.  My Corsair never gave me any problems in my 1700 system so I doubt its a power supply fault.  Board has latest BIOS running default settings apart from memory xmp. No overclocking and all drivers up to date Windows version 1909.  I ran memtest overnight, no errors. This is driving me nuts, cant seem to find a cause.

Yeah, tried a good quality Corsair HX850 Pro from my previous  Ryzen 1700  and a a brand new Thermaltake.  Problem persisted.  I haven't had a single crash since installing the EVGA.  1000w.  The Corsair is now working fine in the Intel system the EVGA came out of and the Thermaltake is working fine in another Intel build.  I really don't understand whats going on with the 3700X power draw but 1000 watts have done the trick.

The HX850 is very respectable and I can handle dual cards easily.

the R9 3700X may draw 105W max generally unless its overclocked, the video card is the usual power pig

I like big PSU ratings for another reason, they are most efficient at 40-50% load

Newsflash

Swapped PSU to RM850X - No difference.

Swapped CPU with 3600 from my other rig.. everything works fine.

3700X sent to RMA.

Hopefully the CPU will function properly for the service life of build

Finally got my replacement CPU. It works fine now. Thanks again guys.

It was my first time in 20 years of PC building that CPU was F####.. But to be honest.. I've built mostly Intels.

Guys.. will I achieve anything meaningful if I OC 3600 CL16 rams? Or is it for that percent or two of performance practically pointless?

My RAM is DDR4-3200 CL16

G.Skill Flare X

You left it on XMP or tried OC?

I have 2x 8GB G.Skill F4-3600C16D-16GTZ

I cannot get my RAM to go faster than DDR4-1866 or it does not POST

?? Update bios, RMA mobo?

My X570 can handle the RAM better but that board has more problems than this X470 does
