Last week my PC kept shutting down at random, It showed EventLog 6008 in eventviewer. Now my PC wont even start, the PC posts, shows the Msi logo and turns of shortly after, without entering into windows, the only thing "staying" on is my RAM, the RGB is still lighting up, one sticks RGB is also out of sync to the others. I unplugged all USB cables, I also disconnected ethernet, wifi and audio, the only thing still plugged in are my screens. Could a faulty RAM stick cause such errors?

#

The 5800x doesnt have a gpu

#

Ok

#

I am not a pc expert but could it be a bad power supply

#

And have you tried resetting the ram

ancient dune Ok

And if you have 2 ram sticks unplug 1 and try it again as the ram could have failed

I just started my pc into bios, I could do it multiple times, I could also access my ventoy stick but then It crahed for a bit. Now I am testing the RAM sticks 1 by 1

#

Stick 1
Slot 1: 0d, no post
Slot 2: Memory overclock failed 3200 ---> 2133,bios, memtest crash during start, ventoy launches
Slot 3: "wrong slot", bios, memtest crash during start, ventoy launches
Slot 4: bios, memtest crash during start, ventoy launches

#

Im not longer going to try memtest, seems like it just doesnt boot at all

#

Stick 2
Slot 1: 0d, no post
Slot 2: trying to enter bios > instant crash
Slot 3: same as 2
Slot 4: bios, restart to ventoy > crashes when exiting bios

#

Stick 3
Slot 1: 0d no post
Slot 2: bios, ventoy launches
Slot 3: bios, ventoy launches
Slot 4: crash
