I built a PC with a 7900X without a GPU, but during intensive tasks like optimized web video players or games, the system would spike to 95-100% usage and briefly freeze or go black. This caused playback issues and crashes on some sites. After running numerous stress tests—3DMark, AIDA64, BurnInTest, Cinebench, FurMark, etc.—the machine remained stable. It seems the problem might be resolved once a dedicated GPU is used. Let me know if you need more help!

Hey there, the same CPU is working fine. I got the chip a week after release. I noticed strange artifacts while watching YouTube but never a black screen. Back then I was running at 2K 175hz natively, though I’m not sure if that mattered. The problem kept happening even after updating the latest Adrenalin drivers and updating my BIOS. I haven’t checked the graphics issue before, since I got the GPU, but drivers and BIOS seem like a good starting point. It could also be related to Windows 11, video encoding, or HDR settings. Maybe the cable you’re using is the issue too. You could also try booting in safe mode and launching apps one by one to spot any conflicts. Right now I’m seeing incorrect CPU clock speeds in HWInfo or Task Manager, but Cinebench shows normal performance. Let me know if you managed to fix it—it might help with my situation.
