    Twiistaah HD got a reaction from KnightSirius in Strange freezing issue in Windows with new 5800X system.   
    Hi,
     
    I upgraded to a 5800X around Christmas and have been having a strange issue where Windows will sort of freeze up, the time freezes for example, but some programs that I would assume are mostly loaded into RAM still kinda work. For example, I was watching a YouTube video at the time a freeze happened and the video continued playing, it wasn't until I tried to load a new video that I noticed it had occurred again. It also happened during a zoom lecture, I could still hear the lecturer talking but the video had frozen so I sat there with no video until the end. The cursor can still be moved around and the start menu can be loaded but it can't find any programs, I can't even press restart, it just hangs. The problem is a bit strange and hard to properly explain but I'm really not sure what it could be. I have a video of a time that the error occurred if that helps. https://youtu.be/VwQY8nqiZ5g
     
    My system is:
    Ryzen 7 5800X Asus ROG Strix X570-E (Tried BIOS versions 2816, 3001, 3202, 3405) G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 32GB (2x16GB) CL18 3600MHz Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB Corsair RM850 NZXT Kraken x52 Samsung 970 Evo 500GB for OS (Currently using an Samsung 850 Evo 250GB which I will explain below) Samsung 970 Evo 1TB for Games Seagate Barracuda 1TB for general storage Seagate Barracuda 2TB for Games When upgrading my PC, I upgraded the CPU, Mobo, RAM, PSU and added the 1TB SSD, other drives and GPU were the same as before.
    I'm listing everything because I genuinely don't know what the issue could be at all at the moment.
     
    I have tried:
    Removing all OC's Updating to newest BIOS and tried beta versions Reverted back to stable BIOS I asked on tech support reddit and one person suggested it may be a failure mode of NVMe SSDs, so I troubleshooted my boot drive.
    I tried:
    Updating SSD's firmware Uninstalling and reinstalling Samsung NVMe driver Just uninstalling the Samsung NVMe driver and leaving it unistalled Forcing the M.2 slots to run at Gen 3 Making sure the temperatures of the drives would fine Optimising the drive Uninstalling Samsung Magician Reinstalling Windows After the problem was still there after reinstalling Windows, I installed Windows to my old 850 Evo and RMA'd my drive since I've only had it for 2 years maybe. Haven't had any issues for over a week but it's just happened again. I didn't try removing the second SSD which I should have probably also tested but I didn't think it would be to do with that drive if Windows was unresponsive.
     
    Sorry for the kinda long post and not very descriptive title, the problem is a bit hard to put into words.
     
    Edit: 
    I forgot to mention, the system started with Trident Z Neo CL18 3600MHz 16GB but I switched it for 32GB of the same speed because I was using all my RAM when hosting modded minecraft servers for my friends. The first time it happened was overnight while running that server, but I can't remember if that was before or after changing the RAM.

    I would likely upgrade at the end of the year so I suppose I'll wait to see how the zen 3 launch goes to decide.
