As I am in no way experienced with OC a CPU, I just followed Jays instructions from JTC's new video about 5 ways for making your PC faster. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x and I enabled auto OC in Ryzen Master to get the desired performance boost, but after doing that, my PC keeps crashing with a WHEA error. Am I doing something wrong? Should I change some other setting as well?

So I just got done overclocking my GPU (RTX 2070 super) with MSI’s afterburner OC Scanner.
I opened Ryzen Master to overclock my CPU(RYZEN 5 something something?) and selected auto OC and then it said it had to restart, clicked yes then it took me to the « closing apps before restart screen » the only app to close was the task manager. I am now stuck on that screen..
I tried clicking on restart anyway and then it froze, I waited like 10 minutes. Nothing happened. I tried holding the power button, nothing either.
I’m scared, I don’t want to unplug it but what other choice do I have? It’s been like 30 minutes nothing changed I don’t hear my fans running.
What do I do?
Computer Type: Desktop
GPU: RTX 2070 super 8gb
CPU: RYZEN 5?
Motherboard: ASUS something
BIOS Version:
RAM: 16GB
PSU:
Case: ASUS ROG STRIX?
Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11
GPU Drivers: GEFORCE GAME READY DRIVER a new updated happened right before my problem but I didn’t install it yet
Chipset Drivers:
Background Applications: DISCORD, FIREFOX, steam, Cpu-z, steel series GG, task manager,
Description of Original Problem: stuck on windows restart screen after RYZEN MASTER was set in auto OC and restarted it. Screen is frozen.
Troubleshooting: tried pressing the power button, no effect. Scared to pull the plug…
I just installed ryzen master and it seems that no tutorial etc is for the newest version, since it looks completely different, I also dont want to make my cpu worse so auto oc would be all I need
Yeah I uninstalled it and all I done in my bios is to set it to motherboard settings and it works better than with ryzen master
Honestly, as someone who has had nothing but issues with AMD Ryzen Master, I'd just do it through your BIOS/UEFI on startup rather than do it through Ryzen Master if it is possible (if it's an aftermarket motherboard you should be able to). Whenever I could get RM to even install correctly half the time it'd cause my computer to crash and the other half constantly stutter putting it on auto OC myself. I did it through my motherboard's BIOS and I've had no problems with it at all.
With LibreHardwareMonitor or HWiNFO I can see all-core loads (in this case, multicore Cinebench R23) running up to 4217-4267 MHz on all cores. Individual cores on single core loads I'd see up to 4641 MHz on whichever core is running the job at any given time.
Decided to try out the Ryzen Master Auto OC thing and it was awful. Absolutely WORSE. And it was a NUISANCE to undo.
Cinebench scores:
Auto OC
All cores 4.2 GHz all the time
MC 10606
SC 1368
"Reset" to "Default"
Seemed not to let any core go past 4.2 - still somehow performed normally with SC but worsened MC?
MC 9511
SC 1464
BIOS reset
Behaviour as per start of post
MC 10677 (Best MC)
SC 1486 (Best SC)
Is this a typical experience? What the heck is going on here?
(Not asking for tech support - I have the result I want already more or less, just wondering why Auto OC is so awful and why both Auto OC and the "default" setting is worse than stock and WHY AMD WOULD PUBLISH SOFTWARE THAT DOES THIS UGH and having a bit of a vent)
I have a Ryzen 7 5800x and a Aorus Gigabyte B450m pro wifi motherboard, Windows 11. I recently upgraded to the new CPU and have been using it for a couple weeks. I decided to use Ryzen Master to use to auto optimize for the CPU. It took about an hour and I think it blue screened at one point. But when it was complete I hit apply and it went to rest the PC. When it did, the Aorus screen comes up like it it's booting and the blue screens and says it has to restart. When it restarts, it says its going to repair but then crashes again. It just starts doing this over and over. I tried putting the bios into safe mode but that didn't do anything. Please someone help. I'm fairly new to this stuff.
