Asus x679e0e mother board. 7950x cpu. with power down enabled even causes bios program to freexe. i have a report in with Asus and I am going to try a different Mother board.
it also causes BSOD's at different times. I am thinking this might be tied in with the voltage/overheat issues with enabling expo/xmp and 7000 series rtaeb chips.

You have to ensure that you change your MCR setting when changing power down mode. Change them together or else you will get bsod etc.

 

I have an Asrock motherboard (X670E PG Lightning), do you know if the same logic applies ?

 

is this still a thing?

 

Yes. Just got my Asus B650E-I and yes, as soon as you flip MCR to Enabled it also flips Power Down to Enabled. Now the thing is, if we want to use MCR and also need Power Down Enabled, isn't that absolute garbage for latency and performance? I'm sick of 55 second POST time... not even full boot, just posting.

 

I have an ASUS ROG B-550F Wifi MB, and my RAM sticks have RGB on them so they would suddenly stop flashing or stay frozen until i restarted the ICUE software, today i realized that by disabling the Power Down option the lights stay consistently on and flashing and my PC feels more snappy, i have 64GB of Corsair DDR4 RAM at 3200mhz.

 

yes its still the same issue disabled it started getting browser errors rand error screens and blue screns also in the space of 2 hours set it to auto everything works as it should now

 

Leave mine on auto or enabled, never have a problem, fast boots & reliable for anything I throw at it.
This is with one caveat, if you change memory settings or modules, longer post times are inevitable. But after the first time, back to normal fast boots.

 

System:
Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX F33a - 7900x - G.Skill 32GB Trident Z 5 Neo RGB 6000-36-36-36-96 Using EXPO settings

Have my system since October 2022. Did the occasional BIOS Update. It ran stable without any issues until December 2024. There the bluescreens (Memory Management) and freezes started to happen. MemTest86 throws errors, OCCT too. Using the OCCT CPU+RAM tests throws hundreds of errors in a few minutes.

After readings this trying, MCR and Power Down Mode both disabled.

Does anybody else have the problem where they are getting errors in RAM tests?

Welp, have an Update, ran OCCT for about 19 min and it started to throw constant errors.
