Can't use original potential of components because of crashing

Go to solution Solved by Jurrunio,

select 2933MHz instead 

I built my gaming PC about a month ago and since the beginning I've been having tons of issues with the game crashing. 

 

Here are my specs: 

 

ASUS ROG Strix B450-F gaming

Ryzen 7 2700x w/ stock wraith prism cooler

2x8 GB corsair vengeance 3200MHz ram

Powerspec 650W 80 plus gold power supply

EVGA 980 Ti Superclocked

Some random WiFi/Bluetooth card I don't know the name of

 

My games would constantly crash after I'd get in about 5-30 min of gaming with games like CSGO, Battlefield V, or Star Wars Battlefront II. The temperatures on my components are ok and never go above 80 degrees. Anyways, I managed to solve the issue by using the Ryzen Balanced power option through Windows and under clocking(I don't know if that's even a thing) my RAM speed from 3200 to 3133 MHz in the BIOS but now the speed of my CPU is only at 2.24 GHz. When I switch back to any other power plan and use the 3200 MHz speed for the RAM my games begin to crash, freeze, or I get A BSOD. The performance I'm currently getting is fine (about 50-60 FPS Ultra on Battlefield V) but I want to be able to upgrade my graphics card in the future and it seems like my computer won't work with an upgraded one like an RTX 2070 super because of how under-clocked my CPU has to be. My cinebench scores for the Ryzen balanced power plan is about 2200-2300, with the other power plans it's in the low to mid 3000s.

 

I basically know nothing about computers so I would appreciate any advice because I don't think I've been able to see how much my computer can do yet.

Have you tried updating the BIOS?  Although my immediate reaction is to say that this is a power issue, you psu seems to be decent.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

  • Download your display drivers from Nvidia's site 
  • Uninstall your current display drivers using DDU (before running DDU disable your NIC to avoid Windows auto installing a dated driver upon restarting).
