Hey, with all these posts I need your full system details so I can assist further. I'll help you boost it. While that's happening, install AIDA64, enable CPU and FPU, then run Unigine Heaven at Ultra settings. Share any unusual results you encounter. Also, ensure power saving features are off in both BIOS and Windows.
Zebarjadi.raouf shared his setup details and asked for further assistance. He plans to overclock the system and suggests checking the specs. He recommends installing AIDA64 with CPU+FPU enabled, running Unigine Heaven at Ultra settings, and sharing any unusual observations. He also advises ensuring power saving features are disabled in both BIOS and Windows. The components listed include an Intel Core I5 6600K processor, Cryorig A40 liquid cooler, ASUS Z170 Pro gaming motherboard, GSKill RipjawsV RAM, EVGA GTX970 GPU, Xigmatek Shogun 600W PSU, IN-WIN 805 RED case, Sandisk PLUS SSD, WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD, and Tplink TL-WN881ND Wi-Fi adapter. He mentioned running stress tests without any unexpected issues and provided photos for reference.
Freezes may stem from various components like GPU, HDD, RAM, CPU, WIN, etc. Since they occurred only after the MB update, I’ll focus on CPU and RAM issues.
First, turn off any power-saving features in both Windows and BIOS.
For RAM, enable XMP.

For CPU, use Ai tweaker, set CPU core ratio, sync all cores, then enter your previous OC (40 = 4.0GHz).
In the Digi+VRM section, adjust LLC to Level 3.
Also disable iGPU as it might be causing problems.

Zebarjadi.raouf shared his experience regarding freezing issues. He believes they might stem from various components like GPU, HDD, RAM, CPU, or WIN. Since these occurred only after an MB update, he focused on eliminating CPU and RAM as possible causes. He suggested disabling power-saving features in both Windows and BIOS, enabling RAM OC with XMP, adjusting CPU OC via Ai Tweaker, setting the CPU core ratio to 4.0GHz, calibrating the LLC in Digi+VRM to level 3, and turning off the iGPU. He also referenced a forum post for further guidance and mentioned that his computer now starts faster and multitasking is smoother without the previous issues.
