PC randomly hard reboots with DOCP enabled (lemmy.world)

I'm having an issue and I don't know where else to post about it. I'd be grateful for any help or guidance.

My PC will randomly hard reset, usually when the PC is idle. This only seems to occur with DOCP enabled. I don't know much about PC hardware aside from how to build one. My PC runs Arch Linux (btw).

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PRO

RAM: TEAMGROUP T-Force Dark Za (Alpha) 32GB DDR4 Dram 3600MHz (PC4-28800)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

Gotta ask: how many sticks of RAM are you using? If your motherboard has 4 slots, and you’re only using 2 sticks, a lot of motherboards want you to put them in specific slots.

Thanks for asking, I have 2 16GB sticks. One in slot 2 and the other in slot 4.

Is that where the motherboard wants them to be? Some of them are picky about which slots you put them in.

I'm pretty sure. I'll double check the manual to make sure.

It’s worth a look. When I built mine a few years ago I didn’t pay attention, and I had random crashes until I fixed it.
