Computer Type: Desktop GPU: RX 6750XT CPU: RYZEN 5 5600 6 CORE 12 THREADS Motherboard: Biostar B550MX/E PRO BIOS Version: B55DS919.BSS (latest) RAM: 32GB Kingston 3200MHz 4x8 PSU: MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 plus bronze Case: Corsair 220T Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11 HOME 23H2 GPU Drivers: AMD Adrenalin 24.1.1 Chipset Drivers: AMD B550 CHIPSET DRIVERS VERSION 6.01.25.342 (latest) Background Applications: G hub, icue, firefox Description of Original Problem: Sudden drops in core clock when playing games. From 4,4GHz to 500MHz or even lower, sometimes just over 1GHz, all over the place. These drops are very quick and don`t always occur, but when they do it`s all the time. These drops are vbery noticeable on games as it causes frame drops and makes the sound cut off too. It also caused some GPU driver timeouts and even made the computer go to sleep once too Troubleshooting: It first happened when i built this PC, but it stopped, I don`t remember if i did something or it just stopped on its own, but when i updated the bios to the latest version it started happening again, but when i reverted to the older version i had originally it continued (I am at the newest version again now). I tried updating chipset drivers and it helped, but didn`t resolve the issue. I tried turning off PBO but it also didnt help. Turning on eco mode (45W) helped but didnt resolve the issue. Disabled ULPS, didnt work After this I contacted AMD and Biostar support and they gave a few troubleshooting steps, none of them worked. The best config that i found was to set the cpu to a fixed clock, this way i can still use the computer. But if i fire up a game the system will crash and turn off in a few minutes Do i have a bad chip or is my motherboard crappy? (biostar is very bad i learned it the hard way). Or is there a config that could help? At this point im only trying to figure out if it is the processor or the motherboard that is defective, because i will just buy another one Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response. It is kind of a hassle to return products in my country lol. I guess I will try it and if it's bad I will try to return it

Just bought my pc components and I was checking to see if I needed to update the motherboard bios to be able to use my Ryzen 5 5600, but what i found instead was a bunch of people saying not to buy biostar motherboards, saying they were slow, the VRMs had no cooling and such. The model i bought comes with heatspreaders in the VRMs, but should I be concerned? Should I return it?

hi guys, here are my laptop specs: ryzen 5 2500u with vega 8 graphics gtx 1050 4gb 8gb of ram i have noticed that from my 8gb of ram, only 7gb was usable and i've read that reserved ram was used for the integrated graphics. since what i have is a laptop, i thought that if i lower the reserved ram on my pc, it will drain the battery super fast because it will use the dedicated graphics. can someone tell me if i can do it or is it not worth it
