So I recently upgraded to win 11 and I was having bsod problems my system then was a ryzen 5 3600 b450 Tomahawk Max G.Skill F4-3600C18-8GVK, 2×8 GB I turned off xmp and it was good but I wasnt able to find a stable Ram frequency at 3200mhz with xmp or at 3600mhz with xmp I found this out with memtest, note that my Ram has been with me for 10 months on win 10 though I did not memtest or occt test it it was working okay at defualt xmp 3600mhz.

Now I bought a ryzen 7 5700x everything is the same but my testing has confused me
At default frequency 2133 mhz
Memtest86 fails
Cinebench fails
OCCT Ram/Cpu+ Ram Fails

With XMP at lower frequency 3200
Memtest86 pass 4/4
Cinebench fails
OCCT Ram/Cpu + Ram fails
OCCT Cpu Pass

With default XMP at 3600mhz
Memtest86 fails
Cinebench pass single core/Multi tread
OCCT Ram/CPU + Ram/CPU pass

I really dont understand where the issue might be coming from. Any insight would help.

did you do a Upgrade to windows 11 from windows 10 or did you do a Full Clean Install of windows 11?

also what BIOS Version do you have on your B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard currently?

Initially I did but bc of the issues I did a clean install and also upgraded my bios.

BIOS version: E7C02AMS.3M4
BIOS build date: July 27, 2026
 
This does sound odd. What are the rest of your components, like CPU cooler, PSU model...? Are the temperatures ok under load?
