AM5 boot times improve RADICALLY with memory context restore enabled

[JARRAH]

If you think it's a defective B2 socket, you could try putting your RAM in A1+B1 instead. Is your BIOS up to date? Have you tried turning Memory Context Restore off?

I tried A1+B1 but getting C5 error code
Yes latest update.
Changed cmos battery yesterday.
I will try MCR off and update you

@ir_cow just an fyi, since AsRock does have MCR enabled by default, and I have used custom timings that lostswede helped me with, just wanted to give you an update, I have had and still have 0 issues with my rig. So, apprently AsRock is the only manufacturer to figure out MCR? i know before you said to keep it disabled, and that probably does apply to other brands, but yeah just wanted to give you an fyi, my rig is still flawless. AsRock is the AM5 champion this round I guess

@Space Lynx I find it it really strange ASRock would enable that by default since it can cause a ton of problems. I condemn the feature entirely. Makes sense for me to leave it off for the test system anyways.

On my asrock build x670e PRO RS - yes it's enabled by default you just have to select expo/xmp - and no issues

Latest BIOS 2403 for Asus X670E-E with AGESA 1.2.0.2 and some more FW updates brought boot/post time further down, from 12.7 to 11.4 seconds (from power button to UEFI Asus logo "press del or f2 to bios"). It ain't groundbreaking but it is a progress

So updating you...

Both asrock and asus motherboard having same issue to me, stuck during reboot.

Even with MCR OFF + PD ON/OFF.


so to update you again, I tried all this following:

CPU
7800x3d
7800x3d
7800x3d
7950x3d
9950x

Ram:
G.skill 8 rams
Corsair 4 rams

Motherboard:
Gigabyte b650m
MSI b650m
Asrock x670e
MSI x670e carbon
Asus b650e-e

PSU:
4

Monitors:
3


What do you think? Is it fair reason to switch back to intel? I spent a lot! Trying to fix this, but it seems normal to AMD.

Do I need to change my mouse and keyboard and headset and the extension cord? I did, what else?

What RAM is it? If every board and every CPU gives the same result, then it must be something with the RAM. Maybe too high speed and the IMC can't cope with two sticks of it?

11 rams was QVL 6000/C30 and C32 - and one Corsair 6000/C30

Even with no expo/xmp same issue, also tried to lower the speed still same.

1 stick take long to stuck during reboot with and without expo/xmp.

Been on this for 4 or 5 months now of trying and testing

I don't know, then. Try posting in the Ryzen owner's Zen garden (club forum), maybe someone can help you there.

Try swapping out stuff that seems unrelated - GPU, PSU, SSD, etc. There's no way you just have a rain cloud following you around as far as RAM goes, while all of my stuff works fine with EXPO+MCR with zero issues. Something is wrong, we just haven't figured out what.

I tried exactly the same AMD setup, just changed the motherboard to z790 and 14700k. Everything running flawless

btw, I ordered 3 kits of CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30K , just incase one is defective and tried it on 3 CPUs.. idk why this happening to me

Maybe C30 is too tight for AMD? I don't think it makes much sense, but I can't think of anything else at this point.

I tried C36 from Corsair, and even without EXPO/XMP it's stuck during reboot. I really wish it worked fine, it was my first switch to AMD

Oh wow! I didn't think they were still tuning boot times. Mine have been blazing fast for the better part of a year. I'm still on AGESA 1.1.7.0 and:

That's with 64GB of RAM too

 

[Darkholm]

That is great.
Yes, looks like AGESA is developing also to boot faster.
