Brand new PC build and every game i play crashes to desktop ?
Yes, I managed to run for two hours without interruption yesterday. I followed all the steps you suggested, including replacing the GPU, PSU, and purchasing a new RAM module for testing. The solution came when I changed the PBO max frequency setting. While checking frequencies in OCCT, I saw that in benchmarks like 3D Mark and Cinebench, the frequency stayed under 5400 MHz without issues. However, during games and the OCCT memory test with Heaven benchmark active, some cores hit 5430 MHz, causing errors to appear on the screen. I strongly suggest giving this a shot—it's just a BIOS adjustment. You could also try disabling PBO entirely and testing your CPU in stock mode. It seems you might have been even more unlucky with the hardware selection than I was. By the way, when I began looking into it, I discovered this issue isn't unique to me; there may be a problem with the 7000 series or AGESA codes...
Dude, I think you just fixed my issue. I adjusted the Max CPU Boost Clock Override to Negative 200 in BIOS and now my CPU is reaching 5.35GHZ instead of 5.55GHZ. OCCT didn’t report any problems, and for the first time I was able to play a game for an hour without crashing. The real test will be this weekend when I have more time to play, but I think this is the solution now, since my games were crashing every 2-3 minutes. Thanks a lot! You saved me a lot of trouble!
Great news! I’m really happy someone got the benefit from all the struggles I faced
😀
Tomorrow I’ll keep testing intensely with Starfield
By the way, based on the specifications, the Ryzen 7600X can reach a max boost speed of 5300 MHz (for the 7700x it’s 5400 Mhz). This is probably the figure AMD includes in AGESA codes for motherboard makers.
But as someone from ASRock support shared, they run extra tests on various CPUs and often raise the boost beyond the official limit. They pick an average across all tested models. That’s why I saw 5450 on my ASRock board and 5550 on your Asus board.
This method usually delivers better performance for most users, but it can be frustrating for those who didn’t get the right chip.
Still, setting -150 should bring you the maximum boost according to AMD’s guidelines for your processor.
