I want to move from Intel to AMD but what MOBO,CPU and RAM do I need to choose?

The BSOD are back with a vengeance and some extra too. Suddenly my on board audio is completely dead. Does not show up anymore in Device Manager. No matter what I do the on board audio is dead. Even the SPDIF output does not have the red light anymore, completely dead. I think the audio chip and/or the power to this chip is broken for some reason. Clean install of Windows 10, chip set drivers and all the drivers from the gigabyte website for this motherboard, still the on board audio does not show up anymore in Device Manager. And no, on board audio is NOT disabled in the BIOS. I don’t use the on board audio because I use the HD audio of my video card. But if the on board audio suddenly died maybe there is something wrong with this motherboard in general. Besides the BSOD that are back again with a vengeance and now this. I think I reached my limit with this motherboard. I’m going to ask to replace the motherboard because this becomes ridiculous. The issues with this motherboard are getting even worse. I re-installed Windows 10 so many times now that my productivity is almost reduced to 0. Other then working on my projects the only thing I do is troubleshooting issues I have with this motherboard.

Just a small overview of the BSOD I had since yesterday …
And strangly, most of the BSOD occur when watching Youtube videos on Autoplay. Mostly never with something else. Maybe you can tell what is wrong…!

Hmm that is kinda weird.
Are you sure that your motherboard doesn’t make any unwanted contact with the case?
I would definitelly contact Gigabyte or Megekko about this.
Maybe they take it in for an RMA or send you a new board or refund.

I didn’t expect this much headaches with on paper a very decent highend board.

This kinda sucks…

Its gets even more strange, when I watch YouTube on Autoplay via Edge the system does not crash.
I installed Windows debug tools and what I found in analyzing these crash dumps was this in Windebugger using the !analyze -v command.
It looks like Chrome is the colperate and dxgmms2.

@MysteryAngel Even zonder gekheid, dit begint echt de spuigaten uit te lopen. Nooit eerder heb ik zoveel problemen gehad met een moederbord als met dit AMD bord. Deze problemen overstijgen werkelijk alles. Tijdens het werken zet ik altijd YouTube aan met muziek op de achtergrond. En als je dan steeds maar weer een BSOD krijgt dan wordt je daar horendol van. Het probleem oplossingsvermogen van mij begint aardig zijn grens te bereiken.

Well if you boot lets say a live image from Linux like Manjaro.
Might be worth trying that, to see if your audio drop out is hardware or software related.
You can boot manjaro live session from a usb stick without having to install the OS.
If you do get audio from your onboard audio solution, then it’s likely windows / driver related.
If not, then it’s likely hardware related.

Also double check for uefi updates, but i assume since you follow up on @wendell 's,
topic on the Aorus Master settings.
In terms of the bsod’s does this also happens when your ram runs at jedec 2133mhz?

I already tried this, I booted a Live Image from Linux mint via USB and the onboard audio was not present. I think the on board audio just died on me. And no, I checked if there is a false connection from the motherboard to my case. I took the motherboard out and used it as an open case to make troubleshooting more easy and still the same issues and BSOD.

Well maybe you could try Manjaro instead, because RYzen X570 newer platform,

Yup eventuelly try to fireup the driver manager, and let it search for drivers.
Like Mint, Manjaro has a similar driver tool.

I can’t get Manjaro to boot, not with free drivers or non-free, it hangs on “Started TLP System Startup/Shutdown”, I think I need to change something in to the grub I believe. Linux Mint booted fine but Manjaro did not I’m afraid. I will check this further this evening. I have to walk my 2 German Shepherds, they don’t care if there master has issues with his PC they are in need of a long walk and me too… Update will follow this evening.

Hi,

I booted Manjaro ( I had to enable CSM in the BIOS to get it to boot???) and again the on board audio is not present. The on board audio is dead. I contacted Gigabyte and awaiting there response. I think the motherboard will be an RMA and/or will be replaced. Further, as long as I use Edge instead of Chrome to watch/listen to YouTube videos on Autoplay my system does not crash. As soon as I use Chrome I get several BSOD. Investigation using Windows debug tools came up with 3 different BSOD errors. “Pool Corruption” with no specific driver and/or program as root cause. “Chrome and dxgmms2” and a “atikmdag.sys” BSOD error. The last one is AMD Adrenaline driver related. The Pool corruption needs further investigation because this could be anything. Extensive RAM tests did not produce a RAM issue. The Chrome and dxgmm3.sys BSOD error is Windows 10 related I think. But first things first, it seems that my motherboard is not okay. The on board audio is dead and that is not good. The motherboard needs to be replaced. Update soon.

Yeah likely indeed, this kinda sucks.
I suppose they will likely replace it, or refund it.

I personally never really had the greatest luck with Abit / Gigabyte boards either.
But based on users reviews and spec’s, this board should be really decent.
But of course a bad example can always fall off the production line.
Kinda bad luck i guess…

Update.

Gigabyte advised replacing the motherboard because of the dead on board audio. I need to contact Megekko and they will handle the RMA. And another thing, they analyzed all the dump files again and they found out that the root cause of all the BSOD etc is the RAM apparently. The advised to replace the RAM as well. They even said not to use this type of RAM and ask for another version. Even the RAM I bought was on the QVL list but they tested this RAM and found out that it is not a perfect match with this motherboard. So in a nutshell, my motherboard and RAM will be replaced. For the motherboard Megekko needs to handle this and for the RAM my local computer shop.

@MisteryAngel Maybe a good idea to check what RAM is the best for this board. Choosing RAM from the QVL list seems to be no guarantee that it works. Proof is me buying RAM that is on the QVL list and Gigabyte telling me that the RAM I bought is not a good match after all. Maybe you or somebody else knows RAM that absolutely works with this Motherboard.

I asked Gigabyte and they send me the QVL list??? After they tell me that the RAM I bought via the QVL list is not a good match… I need minimum 32GB of RAM ( for my Autocad etc), preferably 2 sticks. I hope you guys can help me choose the right RAM for this board.

Many thanks in advance.

I may be able to reply before mistery angel in this case… For the X570 well much like the rest of the platform you would want Samsung B-Die memory… less so with this release but its always less problematic

Here is the QVL
http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_x570-aorus-master_matisse_190812.pdf

but if I may suggest look for 3200 MHz or higher. Gskill trident Z and flare x have been the most consistent kits This will help you find it : https://benzhaomin.github.io/bdiefinder/

MisteryAngel and I have both done the research to find that 2 sticks is going to be better than 4 at least on this platform. We both have seen 3600 MHz kits work but this is when the memory controller is no longer 1:1 but it usually works better with an OC.

You should know you might wanna grab it quick. Samsung has officially ceased production on B die memory and replaced it with A die. If you cant find B die I would grab A die before M or E die memory…

Yeah or Micron E-die also seems to work okay with Ryzen.
But again it all depends on the modules again.
It’s true that Ryzen is really picky on memory module type.

It’s kinda weird that the memory on the QVL not really seem to work well.

I generally tempt to use G.Skill Trident Z modules.
But not all of those are B-die either.

inb4 major cringe from you but there RGB ones are haha…

Worst case he can just use flare x?

These are fine for people that arent like me and dont despise the company behind the memory. They are good memory makers though… They dont overclock well… but they are great OOB

Are those B-die?
Because those are a bit cheaper then Trident Z´s,
and i see them getting selected for a Ryzen setup more often.
G.skill also has those Sniper kits as well,
but not sure what those are, but likely not Samsung B-die.

There has been a list somewhere about memory kits.

yeah the flare x are B die… yeah reddit had a list. I posted a list above to find B die

Megekko accepted the RMA request and I can send in the motherboard. I don;t know yet what they are going to do, repair it or replace it. Gigabyte said the motherboard needs replacement. For the RAM I run into another issue. The local computer shop will not replace the RAM for other RAM. By law they only have to replace the RAM when it is returned within 30 days of buying, I’m a little over 30 days so they say they can’t do anything for me. Bad service and it will be the last time I buy something from this shop. I going to sell the RAM I have and buy new RAM as you mentioned from the B-Die selector list. Hoping that this RAM will work better. My motherboard will be send to Megekko tomorrow morning, I hope that I have it back very soon.
