r/overclocking on Reddit: Ryzen Master black screen / bricked after OC
April 29, 2021 -

I am writing my experience with Ryzen Master for future people who have either nuked their computer via Ryzen master, or are thinking of trying it. I say "bricked" liberally here, its obv not actually bricked, but may look like it.

  1. Don't use Ryzen Master, ever. Just delete that program and don't even consider it as something that exists, keep your OCs in the bios.

Anyways I used Ryzen master and it nuked my MOBO, I was able to correct it by doing the following.

First off this is what it was doing.

Computer boots up with no keyboard or mouse or display

After 60s the keyboard and mouse light up, but no display or anything else.

Keyboard still works, CTR+ALT+DEL still works, resets computer but still doesnt show any display or run anything.

How I fixed it

(Unplug everything before you do this duh)

  1. Reset CMOS, this did not work

  2. Remove GPU and remove MOBO battery for 5 mins, this did not work

  3. Making sure I am holding power button down for 30+ seconds after each cmos reset or battery removal etc.

  4. Remove both sticks of ram, relaunch CPU with 1 stick of ram, this did not work

  5. SOLUTION: Boot computer up with 1 stick of ram, and wait 5 mins, keyboard and mouse turn on but the computer itself is still unable to display anything, restart computer using CTR+ALT+DEL, wait another 5 mins. Computer finally shows me bios screen, bios is properly reset, hallelujah.

Anyways I typed this out so that 2 years from now when some poor soul "bricks" their mobo by attempting to run Ryzen Master, they will hopefully find this thread and fix their issue using this guide.

That is all.

r/overclocking on Reddit: Used ryzen master curve optimizer and my PC keeps crashing
December 3, 2023 -

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.

r/overclocking on Reddit: New Ryzen Master auto curve optimizer issue
April 19, 2022 -

Anybody else having issues with the auto curve optimizer?

I've gotten to 97% on the last core twice and then it'll BSOD and I have to start again.

Since this happened twice I've updated my bios to v18 which is stable from the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK page.

Currently using an 5900x, x570 mag TOMAHAWK mobo, Corsair 3600 dominator platinum ram.

Had pbo and xmp enabled during the previous tests. Will try now with a fresh bios.

Anybody else having similar issues?

Sometimes, the motherboard’s BIOS settings can prevent the Curve Optimizer from showing. Ensure that your BIOS is up to date and that any relevant settings for CPU overclocking or precision boost are enabled. Windows updates can also affect the performance of third-party software.

r/ryzen on Reddit: Enabling Ryzen Master Curve Optimizer Results in Windows Boot Crash
September 1, 2024 -

Hi all,

I purchased a 5950x for my MSI x570 Gaming Plus and it's been working excellently. I wanted to try my luck at overclocking and saw that there was an application to do this, the Ryzen Master. I spent the day yesterday attempting to get this to work and when doing the Optimizer Curve for the CPU Windows would boot up but at the login screen at about 3 seconds in it would hard reboot.

Edit: Please note that I have tried both Default and Auto OC Control Mode and both result in hard reboots at login.

I am interested in any suggestions on how to address this. Thank you for any assistance.

r/AMDHelp on Reddit: I tried optimization curve, and now my pc keeps restarting
September 7, 2025 -

So in the amd ryzen master app, i tried the optimization curve on all cores. After waitingnfor an hour for it to be fully optimized, i applied it. My pc restarted and then everytime i got into my home windows screen it will just restart again and then the blue screen came out in which to choose F1, F8 or Esc. Tried everything on that blue screen but nothing works. What should i do now? I cant even open up ryzen master to disable the optimization curve.
