Upgrade CPU

[nthlikeyou]

So i bought this pc probably a couple years ago and I had a Ryzen 5 5600G. Recently, I bought a new CPU which was the Ryzen 5 5600X. Yes I am aware that its older but gaming wise its alot better and faster than the 5600G.

Anyways after changing to this CPU (Ryzen 5600X), I have been expereincing things that I never experenced before. First of all, the CPU is locked to auto overclock and I can't change it back to default no matter how hard I try. Secondly, Ryzen Master completely stopped working and I don't know how to fix that issues so thats another problem. Thirdly, I'm countering randomly crashed out of no where, like I would be playing some games like Valorant or Minecraft while streaming and all of sudden the pc would just crashed and auto reboot.

Is there a problem with this CPU? or is there a way to fix my Ryzen Master

@nthlikeyou,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Your OMEN 30L Desktop PC GT13-1000a (207P7AV) as fitted with the Hana motherboard (SSID: 8876) is compatible with the Ryzen 5 5600X:

However, your issues likely stem from a combination of BIOS settings, power management, and software conflicts. Here’s how I would troubleshoot it:

1. BIOS Update & Reset:

• Ensure the motherboard is running the latest BIOS version from HP’s support page.
• If updated, perform a BIOS reset (load defaults) to clear any lingering settings from the 5600G.
• If the CPU is locked to Auto Overclock, check if PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) is enabled -disabling it may help.

 

2. Ryzen Master Not Working:

• Uninstall Ryzen Master completely, then reinstall the latest version from AMD’s website.
• Run Ryzen Master as Administrator.

 

3. Crashes & Auto Reboots:

• Check CPU temperatures using HWMonitor or Ryzen Master. If overheating, repaste the CPU and ensure the cooler is mounted correctly.
• Run a memory test (Windows Memory Diagnostic or MemTest86) to rule out RAM issues.
• Ensure XMP (DOCP) profiles are enabled correctly in BIOS.

 

4. Power & Stability Check:

• The 5600X’s higher sustained power draw (105-watt TDP) could potentially be an issue if your power supply is not up to snuff.  A 500-watt power supply paired with a higher-end graphics card may not be able to power your system sufficiently.
• A slight undervolt via BIOS or Ryzen Master might improve stability.
• Finally, unless proven otherwise, at this point in time I am inclined to believe that the Ryzen 5 5600X may have issues.

Please try these steps and report back on any improvements or persistent issues! 🚀
