Hi all, Really hoping someone can help me with this. I'm having an issue with lock ups / freezing. The issue happens when I'm in game (mostly Escape from Tarkov but it's done it with other stuff including Halo MCC - I'm highly confident it'd do it with any game, I just don't play much else right now). I'll be happily playing along and all of a sudden, everything will just freeze BUT the audio will keep playing. It'll then black screen. Most of the time, after a handful of seconds on the black screen, I'll hear the distinctive click of the PSU and it'll turn off and then reboot itself. Interestingly, while it's frozen, the fans etc will still be at their same speed but when the black screen hits, they all come down a bit (but not to idle). Here's the even more interesting bit: after it's done it once, it generally will not do it again until after it's been shut down and left. Generally, I can expect it to freeze and reboot within the first hour of playing. But after it does it, it'll generally play for 4/5/6 hours with no more issues. But after shutting down and leaving it for a while (usually overnight), it'll then do it the next time I come online. One more piece to factor in, I built this rig in 2019 or so and it's never done this before. It's only started happening over the last couple of months. My specs are below: Intel i7-9700k 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 3000MHz Nvidia RTX2070 Super with EK Vector water block ASUS Prime Z390-P II Mobo Seasonic Prime PX-1000 1000W PSU WD Black 500GB M.2 Boot Drive WD Blue 2TB Game Drive (Let me know if I've forgotten anything) Win10 Home (Full Retail Version) Things I've tried so far: Complete re-install of Win10 (22H2) Built in windows memory test (all passed) DDU clean and reinstall of drivers DDU removal of any intel and AMD drivers (not that any should exist) When it does it, it is under load but the temps are acceptable (around 70s on both CPU and GPU - I know this is high for a water cooled system but it's a very non-normal case so doesn't have the same kinda airflow capacity that other systems have). I highly doubt that it's an overheating issue because that also wouldn't explain why after it's rebooted itself it seems to be fine. I'm really struggling to make sense of this behaviour. I did find some stuff in the event viewer which seems to be related to the GPU and happens right when it shuts off to reboot: Source: nvlddmkm event id 14 following info included: \Device\Video3 CMDre 00000002 00003ffc ffffffff 00000007 00ffffff The one thing I haven't done (partly because it kinda scares me) is to update the BIOS. HOWEVER, please bear in mind that I've had this system for nearly 5 years and it's never been an issue until just very recently. Anyone think of what it might be? I'm very worried that my GPU itself is dying. The only other thing that occurs to me is that it might be something to do with c-states since shutting it down doesn't fully shut this machine down since it has fast boot. But when it reboots, it's a genuine, fresh boot. But that still doesn't explain why it's never done it before? Any and all help welcomed. Thanks in advance

I've never seen this odd behavior in my life. Please help me. I believe this is related to the core issue of the problem. Let me set the scene: newly built PC, fresh install of Windows 10 with only the necessary drivers for the motherboard installed. I open up Edge to get the installer for the Discord application and go onto Nvidia's website to get the newest drivers for my graphics card. I'm sitting here with fresh Windows 10, nothing installed, just a blank desktop with just two installers, Discord and Nvidia. I click on the Discord installer and it crashes with some Java error. Okay, fine, I think, it's a fresh install of Windows. I restart the computer and try again, but the Discord application installer crashes once more. Odd. I try again and it crashes again. So, I try the Nvidia installer, which loads up to 28 percent and crashes with some 7Zip CRC Error. I think, okay, really fun and great. I decide to look up the error but find nothing very helpful, and I don't follow anyone's advice. I decide in that moment, 'I WILL INSTALL THIS.' For the next 20-30 minutes, I click on the installer and it crashes every time. But, someone one time said something about not giving up, so I just keep clicking. I click one last time, get up, and run around my house like a buffoon. When I come back to my computer later, the install has worked. I'm shocked. I ended up doing a similar thing for Discord, and the application eventually installed. I don't know what the heck is going on with this computer, but I really hope someone has a good reason for why that worked, even though it really didn't. I may have installed the drivers and Nvidia and Discord, and even a game eventually, but the game and Discord crash after opening. Discord opens for 2 minutes, then crashes, same with the game. So, I may have won and installed them, but they don't work. Please help, this is too odd for me.

So, following are the steps where the freeze happens: PROMINENT FREEZE ISSUE SCENARIO 1: 1) Start any movie on Amazon Prime video, Netflix. 2) After some-while, it will keep on indefinitely buffering. 3) I checked internet, and its not related to internet. 4) Now, Reload the page, If you are lucky then it will start playing , after some time randomly same issue. 5) If you are not lucky, well the system freezes. 6) Ctrl+Alt+Del , after lagging -> Restart -> Takes Ages to restart. (Stuck at restarting loading screen... ) 7) Note : In this situation, when i tried to Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Task Manager -> CPU : 5% utilization RAM : 13% utilization GPU : 2% utilization 8) After restart, repeat from step 1 again and same thing happens.

Hi ( english is not my native language so sorry if i make mistakes), for a while now i had some freezes while gaming i had little freezes and long ones. Sometimes when it froze i clicked with the mouse random times and then for 1 milisecond it unfroze and immediately it crashed i had to enter the game again. Most of the freezes happened at the most importat moments and it drove me insane. i researched and seen people say might be an issue with the driver of the graphics card so i kept updating it but it didnt help at all, so i decided to roll it back to an older version. Thanks now it doesnt freeze that often, rarely but it still does. the freezes i had were just freezes no noise nothing but latey they made a brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt sound like that and froze completly. i am tired. i am researching again and resources say it could be bios i just wanna ask maybe someone can help me, sorry if i havent explained correctly something, please ask i will try and explain more. thanks EDIT: nope i am on a desktop not a laptop, i am not into PCs so i dont know stuff but i'd like to know T.T

I bought my PC in January 2020 and till November 2023, there has been a case of 'Kernel Power Failure', aka 'Event ID 41', a total of 4-5 times. However, in December 2023 alone, there have been multiple occurrences in a single day. I have exhausted all the options I could find after searching with the Even ID. I checked all cables and connections. I checked all drivers. I checked Windows updates and even installed preview cumulative updates, hoping that maybe that would fix it. I even changed my Power Supply, and bought a new Corsair HX850 80+ Platinum. I tried the Checkdisk command, DISM commands, and SFC commands- these resulted in no error. But nothing was working, so out of frustration, I installed Windows again. This seemed to fix it for about a week or two, and then it started again. It occurred in the last month and the latest is today. What else can I do? During the time it occurs, the whole PC just freezes and stays like that until I force shut down it (in my last chassis, there was no restart button) or press the restart button and force restart it. If this keeps up, my components are at the risk of getting damaged, specially the hard drives. . Note: My BIOS is up to date with version 5003; The RAM speed is set to 3200 MHz from the BIOS, I didn't change anything else except the CPU cooler fan curve. The D.C.O.P in the BIOS is untouched as well. No TPM is enabled either. . My specs___ .

Prepare to hear the strangest computer issue ever. This is a custom-built PC (see specs below). I have been dealing with this issue for a couple of years now. It started after I updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (about a year after being built). Randomly, my computer will hard freeze. Whatever is on the screen will freeze in place until the computer is hard powered off. There is no blue screen. When booting the computer back up no dump file is created, despite how much I have messed with settings trying to get it to do so. There are no errors or even warnings in the event viewer for at least the 10 minutes leading up to the freeze. There is no pattern as to when it happens, I have had it happen while using the computer as well as when the computer is idle. Sometimes it will happen a few hours after the PC has been booted, and other times it can go several days before freezing. Now comes the really strange part, and this has been consistent after all of the troubleshooting I have done already (listed below), if I have a Minecraft server running on the computer it will not freeze. I have tested with other programs running on the computer that actively use memory, network, etc. still freezes. If I am running server.jar though, it can go a couple of months and not freeze, at which point I restart the computer myself, because uptime. I want to think that its a hardware issue except for the fact that it is fine while running a Minecraft server... What I have tried: -Backup and restore via image-based backups. -Fresh install Windows 10 -Fresh install Windows 11 -Reseat RAM -Reseat CPU -Reseat GPU -Replace Hard drive (tried sata ssd and nvme.) -reset bios -update bios -update graphics drivers -different keyboard -different monitors -new add-on nic (since removed to use with another computer) Computer Specs: OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Type: 64-bit MB: MEG X570 UNIFY (MS-7C35) CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x GPU: NVIDIA MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Royal 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 PSU: CORSAIR - RMx Series 1000W ATX12V 2.4/EPS12V 2.92 80 Plus Gold Drive 1 (boot drive): WD Black SN850X 1TB Drive 2 (Data drive): Samsung 860 EVO 2TB Drive 3 (Virtual Memory/swapfile): NVMe SK Hynix 512GB TLDR: The computer freezes randomly with no trace afterward of what happened, except when running a Minecraft server(I have no freaking idea).

Hello, since I built my pc I have been experiencing freezes and lags although I have a good cooler for my cpu, and a decent gpu and cpu. I have tried swapping the ram, and it fixed the problem a little bit, I have thoughts that it might be my vertical gpu mount but I want to know first what the issue can be. I have'nt experienced a BSOD but after my pc has been on for a while (can change from time to time how long it takes until it does that) I also have a pretty reliable ssd that have good reviews and all my drivers are up to date too. The thing I'm a bit worried about is that my ram rgb is lagging when my pc is on heavy (but not that heavy) load, could it be the Icue software that causes this freezing and lag? Could it be the power outlet? If you want specs and temps here they are: 5700X 35-57C° 4070 28-70C° 64gb 3200mhz ram Nothing is overclocked I am reposting this yet again because of no answers on my last post. Just a reminder if you want to see my replys and stuff make sure to follow the topic, thank you.

I have a raspberry pi 4 8gb running Ubuntu with plex and an external SSD connected via an 2.5 enclosure. When I load new content onto the SSD. The pi always freezes up. Is this due to not enough power to the pi or should I add external power to the SSD? I currently have the stock Cana kit power supply. Would changing it to a 30 watt charging brick be too much? Or worth a shot? Thank you

Hello all, randomly when playing games, browsing the web, even just using discord my computer seems to freeze for about 1-10s, it disconnects everything currently connected to my pc via usb and then reconnects them and I un-freeze. If I am playing a game the game doesn't even crash, and after the 1-10s I can just continue playing like it never happened. It seems to trigger quite often when someone joins or leaves my discord channel but I think that could be just a big coincidence as that doesn't really make any sense. I've tried using event viewer to source the issue, and discovered every time I freeze I get a Kernel Event Tracing error id 28. I think this may just be due to the fact that when I freeze my peripherals disconnect then reconnect , but every time I plug in my ASTRO A50's and my Hyper X Quadcast S I get those errors. Not sure if those errors could cause the freeze in the first place though. Seems to happen about only once a day not sure if i can remember if it's happened more than once in a day and I use my computer for hours upon hours everyday. Any help appreciated been dealing with this pretty much ever since I built the PC and I can't take it anymore. My specs: GPU : Asus Strix 3080 CPU : i9 13900k MOBO : Asus z790-e RAM : Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 64gb 6400mhz PSU : Corsair Shift Series 1000W NVME(s) : Corsair MP 600 and Corsair MP 600 PRO XT OS : Win 10 Pro I have tried upgrading my PSU from 850w to 1000w didn't fix it. I have tried upgrading my RAM from 32gb 6000mhz to 64gb 6400mhz didn't fix it. I have tried upgrading my MOBO from asus z690e to asus z790e didn't fix it. I have tried doing a complete clean install of windows (formatting the drive it was originally installed on and reinstalling with a USB) didn't fix it. I have tried replacing the A50's and Quadcast with brand new ones, didn't fix it. I have tried going into Power Management and turning off USB Selective Suspend, also went into device manager and made every single device that had the option of not allowing the pc to turn it off unchecked. I have tried updating bios to most current one, didn't fix it. Please someone help still not resolved as of 11/10/23

When trying to stream on Discord audio goes away pc becomes slow and unresponsive I've tried doing any troubleshooting steps that I could to no avail. I've recently upgraded from a rx 6600 xt to a RTX 4070 With the RX 6600 XT I never had this issue. Everything works fine I can stream with obs I can do everything but stream on discord. I am suspecting the PSU I have a Gigabyte P750GM 750 W 80+ Gold my current pc specs here https://pcpartpicker.com/user/BassOnWeb/saved/#view=8ZNLyc I didn't think that it would be such a hassle, I even reinstalled the Windows many times, I haven't tried Windows 10 though. If you have any idea, please I am at the end of my ropes.

Below is an email I have sent to MSI, Corsair and Intel (all products I use in my machine) to try and get support. It also outlines my problem. I will also list my system below. Motherboard: MPG Z590 Gaming Carbon WiFi CPU: Intel Core i5-11600KF RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro x4 16GB GPU: MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 3x 12GB Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 2TB Crucial P3 1TB TEAM T253LE240G Power Supply: Corsair RM750x My problem is described below: On Saturday 21st October 2023, I installed a Crucial P3 Plus 2TB into my system (MPG z590 Gaming Carbon WiFi). I then reinstalled Windows 10 onto my Crucial P3 which was already in my system. After this the problems started, my computer was freezing initially between 1 – 2 minutes apart, becoming completely unresponsive, on the screen, mouse, keyboard etc. I started to carry out diagnostic tests and have been doing since. I was attempting to switch from CSM to UEFI, move my boot drive to my P3 (1TB) and install my P3 Plus (2TB) for games. These tests consisting of the following (all tests carried out were 5 minutes long) - Remove P3 Plus, freeze on the 6th Test Run, ran on CSM - Reinstall Windows 10 on the P3, freeze on the 5th Test Run, ran on UEFI - Keep P3 Plus out, remove P3, install Windows 10 onto my other SSD (where the boot originally was), freeze on 6th Test Run, ran on UEFI - Keep P3 Plus out, keep P3 out, use 1 stick of RAM (I called this one A), we stopped this test after the 3rd run to download Windows 11 as someone mentioned Windows 10 being glitched from the installation media. - We had all 4 RAM sticks in during this, freeze during Windows 11 install at the drive selection. - Windows 11 installed successfully, Drivers updated automatically, GPU drivers installed, rebooted, RAM A again, freeze on 1st Test Run (1 Minute in), ran on CSM - Windows 11, switched RAM Stick A for RAM Stick B, freeze on 5th Test Run (3 Minutes in), ran on CSM - Windows 11, switched RAM Stick B for RAM Stick C, freeze on 1st Test Run (1 Minute in), ran on CSM After all of this (over the space of the 21st to 24th), last night I reset BIOS to defaults (defaulting to UEFI), reinstalled my P3, unplugged my original SSD, and installed Windows 11 to the P3. Tonight I will be carrying out the tests of this to see if it freezes.

My M.2 NVME SSD(s) are "freezing" with 100% active time in Task manager. This only happens when gaming, and only in graphically intensive games (3dmark does not cause this issue), sometimes the PC will reboot itself but 9/10 I have to shut it off via the power button. Control, Vampyr, Half-life Alyx all cause this issue. if the SSD that "freezes" is my secondary one I can use the system just fine unless I try to access any files on that SSD. If the C drive "freezes" than the whole OS freezes up but usually i can still move the cursor around. Temps on everything are good. It started happening within the last 2 weeks, but may have been longer before I noticed what the issue was. I have tried: fresh windows install removing and re-installing the SSD's Only using one SSD clearing the BIOS Updating the BIOS Updating all the drivers for the system Updating the SSD's firmware (there were no updates) Updating/downgrading graphics card driver setting PCIE to gen3 disabling C-states Checking the SSD's (chkdsk, smart, samsung magician, WD dashboard) Checking the OS (DISM) Swapping PSU Removing all USB devices (sans keyboard and mouse) Different m.2 slots SPECS OS: Win 11 PRO x64 22h2 CPU: Ryzen 5 5800x MOBO: Gigabyte X570 Master rev 1.2 GPU: Nvidia RTX 3090 founders PSU: Corsair H1200x RAM: G.skill Trident Royal 4000 cl14 SSD 1: WD Black SN850x (freezes) SSD 2: Samsung 970 evo (freezes) I'm at a complete loss as to how to fix this, I can say 2 months ago everything was running perfect. At this point I've already spent over 12 hours debugging and doubt a repair shop would want to mess with a custom water-cooled computer.

a few days ago I got a new ssd on ebay that came with windows 10. When I have it installed my pc boots in about 20 seconds, but when I log in after ~2 minutes, or when i try to run a program, windows freezes and becomes unresponsive. The only thing I can do is hold the power button to turn it off.

I previously used Rx 480. DDU’d the system before installing rx 6800. Worked fine at first but I have this weird windows freezes almost like windows bug. This issue is so random like sometime my PC can run fine for hours and hours without any issues. But not bsod or whatever. But all the games run fine and benchmark is upto the mark of other 6800 sapphire nitro. What possibly would be the cause? Restarting the system would solve it. But then after couple hours or so same thing happens. It doesn’t affect gaming tho.

Hey everyone, I'm encountering some frustrating performance problems while playing Fortnite on my PC, and I'm hoping to get some expert advice on how to resolve them. My PC specs are as follows (please refer to the attached screenshots for details): CPU: [IN THE SCREENSHOT] GPU: [IN THE SCREENSHOTl] RAM: [SS] Storage: [SS] OS: [Windows 10 Pro] The issue I'm facing is persistent freezing and lagging during gameplay. I've tried optimizing the game using Nvidia GeForce Experience and have also run Hone for optimization, but the problems still persist. I'd like to emphasize that I'm not looking to upgrade or change my PC components at this point. I'm hoping to find a solution that can improve the performance without such drastic measures. If anyone has experienced similar issues or has any suggestions on settings adjustments, driver updates, or other software tweaks that might help alleviate these problems, I would greatly appreciate your insights and recommendations. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi everyone, so I recently bought a new case (Lian Li O11DXL-X O11 Dynamic XL) because the one I had was too big (Obsidian Series 1000D Super-Tower Case) and I also replaced my fans (Thermaltake Riing Trio 12 RGB (14 fans total) to Corsair iCUE LINK QX120 RGB) (10 fans total)). Everything was working fine until I swapped everything to the new case. Ever since my parts swap I get 1 of 3 problems. The first problem, my PC freezes and restarts without a bluescreen or error message, Second problem, is my PC freezes but the mouse still works and I am able to click around but nothing is responsive, and when I try to shut down or restart, I'm just on the "shut off" or "Restart" screen for minutes or even hours if I were to let it sit. The third problem is that my PC is completely frozen. All 3 problems do have one thing in common the RGB on the RAM will freeze first, and/or the RGB on the fans will freeze and go to their default colors (both products are Corsair). I did notice that 2 of 3 problems only happen when I'm gaming for an hour or two (freeze and restart or completely freeze). I did do a couple of basic troubleshooting like looking for driver updates and removing 2 RAM sticks (this kind of fixed one of the issues which was freezing but the mouse was still responsive), so the problem only occurred when I had 4 RAM sticks on the mobo, I did try all 4 Ram sticks, 2 sticks at a time on all 4 slots to see if it was a bad RAM or a bad slot. And, I also heard that my fans consumed a lot of wattage but I can't find any info on how much they consume. Sorry for the long message, and thank you for your time and attention, TIA guys. FYI: I did drop the PSU while swapping out the parts and the radiator hose was applying pressure on one of the RAM sticks, idk if one of those is the problem or if it's something else completely.

Bought my brother some computer parts for his birthday: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 Challenger Arc A380 6gb MSI SPATIUM Series M.2 2280 1TB OLOy OWL 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3600 ASRock A520M-HDV AM4 AMD SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX Montech Gamma II 750W, 80+ Gold Certified These are all brand new from newegg He put it together and then installed windows 10 via a usb flash drive, he was installing essential apps like chrome and steam when it froze. You could still move the mouse around the screen but you couldnt interact with anything as it was frozen, he waited a couple minutes to see if it would unfreeze and then turned it off via the case power button. Now it freezes after about 2 minutes after it boots up, it wont freeze in the bios and when you put it in safe mode it says "Account has been disabled. Please see your System Administrator" and prompts a login to the disabled adminstator account or sometimes an account with the name "defaultuser0" that we dont know the password to. We tried pulling it apart and putting it back together, safemode and recovery mode, and re-installing windows via a fresh installer on that flash drive. Im thinking that because he forgot to install all the drivers before trying to use it, he screwed it up somehow, but that new windows install shouldve fixed that right? What am i missing? Is there a fix for this or do i send all these parts back? thx for any response

Intro Hopefully I find the answer to my issue and perhaps maybe it will help others as well who experiences this issue, as I could not find anything on the internet close to my problem. I will post my specs and also what I attempted to do to fix this all the way below. I've tried my very best to troubleshoot this issue, but there's literally no sign of anything wrong anywhere... I even asked repair services near me about this and nobody can help me. The Problem Basically, once every 2 to 4 months, my computer starts freezing up like crazy. Nothing responds anymore. It can occur when I just booted it, but it can also occur late at night before I go to bed. Then, what I do is I shut it down. If it happens in the morning, I just reboot it straight away. When it happens late at night, I go to bed and the next morning I boot it up again. Upon reboot, I see my ASUS logo and the loading dots... then black screen. Basically, I can access the BIOS but nothing else. In the bios, everything seems fine. It sees my hard drive, cpu, ram, etc everything looks good. But now the weird thing is... the more times I reboot, the more I "advance" to booting up Windows. So for example, when you reboot it a few times, I can get to the Troubleshooting screen... screenshot 1 But then what happens is if I click on "Troubleshoot", it would freeze AGAIN. Can't do anything. So I restart the process etc... and over time, the more I restart, it would freeze at the next step. Example: After getting to this (screenshot 1) screen 20 times and freezing, eventually the 21st (random number btw) time I can get pass it. So now I'm in the advanced options (screenshot 2). screenshot 2 Then same thing, it freezes. After 100 more attempts, I eventually manage to boot in safe mode. By that time, it took around 2 hours of simply rebooting back again. In safe mode, same thing, it would get stuck. Eventually, I can get through. Once I'm in safemode on the user login screen, everything is unresponsive. Keyboard, mouse, freezing like crazy. After rebooting times and times again... (probably at 3-4 hours mark by then), I can eventually log in safe mode. Once I'm logged in safemode, I reboot my computer and everything is perfectly normal like nothing ever happened. All it takes is rebooting... a lot of rebooting. No matter what I do, nothing works. Only rebooting does. What I tried - Unplugging every single device from my computer (USBs, mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc...) - Once I eventually get to windows, I run these commands "sfc /scannow", "chkdsk", "DISM" and everything is fine. - Also ran memtest64, everything is fine. - Event Viewer in Windows gives me a bunch of critical error but these are all the same and doesn't say anything ("Task Scheduling Error: Continuously busy for more than a second" and "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first" and things about the system being slow & freezing for unexpected reasons). - Unplugging the computer completely for a minute and reboot it again. I also tried to boot from my USB drive to see if it worked, but I always ended up booting on my nvme instead, even though I specifically selected the USB drive in the bios, and by the time I did that anyways it was already too late. Thoughts At this point, I suspect either Windows 10 failing on me, or my nvme to be failing for some odd reason. In the case of Windows 10, I don't know why rebooting it doesn't fix the freezing, perhaps windows 10 is able to keep some state/data running even though my computer has no power? In the case of the nvme, usually if it was the nvme it wouldnt happen once every 2-4 months. It would be more regularly and I'd even say it wouldn't be booting at all. It's annoying because since it happens so "rarely", it's very difficult to troubleshoot accordingly.

hi ,i have a very annoying problem on my computer, i already had lots of bsods in the past that i could fix but now its another thing, when im using my pc, it could be in game watching a video on youtbe or just being on desktop, my computer will start lagging so hard its almost like a freeze followed by beeps when i click on the mouse (that is also lagging) and then sometimes my wallpaper goes entierly white with the loading circle on the mouse ,it even leads sometimes to a graphics reset like when you go win+ctrl+shift+B, i already changed thermal paste on my cpu like some formus told me too, my drivers are updated and no malwares as i have seen on scans,please help.

As the title of this suggests, the computer I have is freezing at startup. Fans spin, it plays its usual beep like normal, but then i can't get past the POST screen. I cannot access the BIOS, I tried. I tested my memory sticks individually, pulled out the GPU, removed the CMOS battery, and unplugged all peripherals and nothing changes. I'm really stumped here and I could use a hand.

Hello all, I have encountered a very strange issue and this is the bottom line: the issue seems to be with my 5900x at idle/ very low utilization, I hope to be able to set the base frequency but still allow it to boost when needed and I was not able to figure out how to do this in the Bios. so how did we get here: this 5900x is actually from my dad's computer, he does mainly office work and programing, the idea was to over spec his PC so he will not have to deal with upgrading for a long time (his previous PC was an I7 3770...) he would work and write emails and then the PC would freeze, an image stays on the screen but nothing else would help/ happen, trying to put the PC into sleep mode by pressing the power button did nothing (i did check this is configured to work). I then tried the following troubleshooting steps but they did nothing to solve the issue: run automatic file check in windows (sfc) Turned off D.O.C.P cleared CMOS ran cinebench for an hour and the temps were fine (65C) with an NHD-15 updated windows + drivers (GPU and others) changed the power settings in windows to never go to sleep and the GPU to max performance. Changed out the ram to a known working kit (I also ran a ram test on the ones he had, no issue) disconnected all none essential connections (USB, case fans, front connectors etc) booted off backup SSD and completely disconnected the 980 PRO that is the main SSD changed PSU visual inspection of the CPU, MB, and mounting of the cooler I have not changed the MB, CPU,GPU the easiest thing for me was to change the CPU with my 5700G (my work PC) and the problem did not return, I then put the 5900X into my PC (same Chipset B550) and saw the issue return. his PC has been working fine ever since with my 5700G. what I noticed is that the issue happens only when there is a low utilization of the CPU, whenever the clocks are higher there is no issue at all. so currently I have the 5900X in my PC and locked to 4.2GHZ however this is not really a good utilization of such a powerful CPU so I need some help. Is there a way to set base clock but still allow the CPU to boost above it? i was not able to do this in my ROG B550I... I was only able to set a permeant frequency... thanks for the help David

It started when in the middle of a GTA V session i started freezing and the screen would refresh every few seconds maybe like 0.1 fps or even less and i was doing something quite important so i ended up playing off sound and the screen would refresh to what was happening when i pressed the windows key and tabbed back into the game frozen again. I would fiddle around with the resolution settings and fullscreen with my monitors auto pixel count (1440p) which was playing fine until i changed it back to windows borderless and it started freezing again. I took a break for an hour with my pc turned off and turned it back on to play some Minecraft, Same issue freezing up with 0.1 fps couldnt do anything and at some point had to shut down just to get out of the game. My drivers are up to date and I'm pretty sure its not a performance issue since it suddenly started happening when i had 60-80 fps on GTA V then straight to freezing. I can't seem to do anything about it please help, this computer is only 6 months old with a RTX 3060 MSI 12GB if that helps at all.

Good day all, I am running into this weird issue and trying to find out some good troubleshooting steps to run to try to isolate this issue. The issue is my computer freezes up and I cannot move anything, keyboard provides no input, mouse no input, BUT audio is still live, whether that being Spotify or discord. So I have to force shut off my computer to be able to do anything. This happens on mainly I've seen games, I found it happening on Valorant and Sons of the Forest, so far. I have not seen it happen on other games but I have not been on other games tbh that much so I cant say for sure that these are causing the issue. I get no BSOD codes when it happens, event viewer only shows the power down was unexpected and nothing else. I am stuck on what else to troubleshoot and what other steps to try, any help would be appreciated Here's my setup CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Mobo - MSI B450 Tomahawk (MS-7C02) GPU - ASRock RX 6800XT XT Phantom RAM - 32GB DDR4 3200 G.Skill PSU - EVGA 600W BR Running 3 monitors (1x1440p165hz, 2x1080px144hz) So far the troubleshooting done is, BIOS is already latest version 1I0 Updated AMD Graphics Driver to latest (current 23.2.2 released 2/17/23) Updated AMD Chipset drivers (current 4.07.13.2243, new 5.01.29.2026) Ran MemTest86 and passed Ran Heaven Benchmark and saw no crashes for about 30 minutes and temperatures was stable but hard to replicate this issue so unsure if this really proves anything
