Is Speccy safe?

Will explain the below and then look at your Speccy report to see if anything else is amiss;

The RAM is not appropriate for your CPU, AMD state here up to 5200MHz/MT/s and if you have EXPO/XMP enabled the RAM will get auto OCd past what the CPU can handle and the PC will become unstable.

Modern RAM has two speeds, SPD (serial presence detect) and XMP or similar such as EXPO, SPD is what the BIOS detects on boot which for DDR4 for example is most often 2133MHz and XMP which when enabled will set the RAM to run at the maximum speed that it is capable of.

Something to keep in mind for the future, a CPU must be compatible with a MB whereas the RAM has to be compatible with both the CPU and the MB, this because a MB can be compatible with faster CPUs than the one in your list of parts and MB manufacturers often state RAM speeds that far exceed that which any compatible CPU can handle, this is misleading at the least or dishonest at worst.

Edit to add: Can see a couple of things in Speccy but have a question;

Any idea as to why the first update shown to have been installed does not correspond with when Windows was first installed.

This in itself is an issue which I will explain later.

Two things that I would suggest as a starting point;

Restore the MBs default factory settings in the BIOS, they are sometimes listed as one of the following " factory defaults" "most stable" or on newer boards "optimized" please note that if you have both the "most stable" and the "optimized" options in the BIOS you should choose the most stable" option as in this instance the "optimized" settings are a form of overclocking that can cause instability.

Save the new settings, exit the BIOS, restart the computer the do the below;

Check and if need be install the latest W11 chipset drivers from here

Check and if need be install the latest W11 AMD video drivers from here

Restart the computer, test by using the computer as you normally would, post back with an update when ready, no rush here as after ten hrs online Im calling it a day now,

Your choice on the AMD video drivers, if your Nvidea GPU is happy then so should we be.

Suggest leaving everything as is for a day or so and if all stays good post back and we will address your RAM.

Problem solved then.

Couple of questions for you;

Any remaining problems with yellow lights on the MB.

Is the RAM here the same type and spec that you have.

8-9 seconds seems to be a long time but the lights being on and then going off is normal.

If you are comfortable manually setting the RAM speed and voltage you should initially try 5000MT/s and 1.35V and if all good then try 5200MT/s and 1.35V, if you have problems with either speed try increasing the voltage to the maximum which is 1.40V, do not exceed this.

You revisited the forum but left no feedback, how did it go.

Being that the OP again revisited the forum but chose not to reply this thread will be marked and closed.
