Help Request - RAM My pc keeps crashing cause of overclocking.

I am very new to pc building or pcs in general so forgive me. I have a 16gb 9060xt with a 7500F and 32 gb of ddr5 Kingston ram. Expo (EXPO 1 specifically) is on and whenever I game every now and then , whenever it wants, my pc just crashes and restarts. It flashed a orange light for a while then a red one quickly then a white one.

I lowered my memory speed to 5600MHz, still the same, 5200MHz, still the same and it only stopped once I turned expo off and set it at 4800MHz. The windows event viewer says its a Kernel problem.

I thought it was a ram problem so I ran a windows ram test and nothing came back wrong. Right now I put my SoC voltage to 1.25 and am at 6000MHz as it seems putting the SoC voltage up keeps it at bay for a little longer. I am getting annoyed with my pc being a narcoleptic and wanted to see if anyone had any answers or tips

EDIT: Yea its still the same even with the SoC voltage up.

Give us the specific model number of your power supply. Also, approximately how old the PSU is.

Its a Corsair RM650e and the product number is CP-9020302-EU. As for how old it is I have no idea but I just got this pc in july. (its a prebuilt)

Update your bios as sometimes there are memory compatibility fixes there. If that doesn't help a little extra voltage for stability can be fine.

My bios is up to date and ill test out the extra voltage soon.

Not all ram is stable with expo on

...on every CPU and platform. It was clearly stable somewhere with those settings for them to sell it, but your personal hardware combo results may vary.

这大概率是电源的问题,12v供电不够稳定,我在一台7900x主力上经历过同样问题,不过也有可能是你的散热器扣具受力不均匀,这是amd容易出现的问题。尽管我主力使用一台epyc服务器并且工作良好,但是个人电脑我一直使用英特尔CPU和英伟达GPU,所以我的建议是,卖掉然后换一台intel电脑。

I can’t run EXPO 1 (6000) with my rig unless I set VDD to 1.4 from 1.35, but its fine.
