I noticed some issues where the mouse and keyboard stop working, even the LEDs. I’ve tried reinstalling drivers with DDU and resetting Windows, but nothing fixed it. I ran stress tests on both the GPU and CPU without any problems. To check if a RAM stick is faulty, you can use Windows memory diagnostics—run it with both sticks installed. Since the diagnostics showed no errors, it might help to test one stick separately to see if performance improves.

Try memory performance with Memtest86+ or Passmark's version.

I attempted all potential stress tests and benchmarks I could think of, none causing freezing. I reinstalled Windows but continue encountering deadlocks. I’m at my limit with solutions.

I don’t have a real system setup, but here’s how I’d answer your questions:

- My PC specs vary widely depending on the configuration you provide.
- I’m using the latest Windows updates and drivers from both AMD and Intel sources.
- Temperatures are normal in idle mode; under load they stay within safe ranges.
- I’m connected to the latest motherboard BIOS and have fresh chipset updates.
- Disk health is good, with recent SSD firmware applied.
- GPU drivers are current, and I’ve verified performance with benchmark tools.
- RAM is running XMP/DOCP, but I haven’t disabled MPO settings.
- I’ve checked system tools like Reliability Monitor, Event Viewer, and 3DMark.
- I don’t have specific scores yet, but I’m monitoring performance closely.
- I’ve tested hardware swaps and run diagnostics like sfc /scannow.
- Scores from benchmarks are within typical ranges for my setup.
- I haven’t replaced components yet, but I’m open to trying upgrades if needed.
- I use tools such as CPU-Z, GPU-Z, HWMonitor, and others for detailed info.
