I can assist with tech-related questions. What do you need help with?
Hi tech experts, I've noticed some problems while gaming lately. My PC often freezes and restarts on its own. In Event Viewer, I see several warnings pointing to "WMI". The error says: "A provider, IntelMEProv, has been registered in the Windows Management Instrumentation namespace root\Intel_ME to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests."
Do you keep track of temperatures during crashes? Has every driver, from the chipset to the BIOS, been updated?
Your components include an i9 10900 rtx 3080, a B560 MDS3H DS3 chipset, 32GB of 3200 MHz RAM, and an 850 processor with 80+ Gold certification. Temperatures remain stable overall, especially on the GPU side. You're using Intel's upgrade assistant for driver updates and have the latest versions installed. Note: The CPU is showing performance around 60-70°C under load.
IntelME is the Intel Management Engine. Usually you must download the driver from your motherboard manufacturer's website in the support area. The Intel Upgrade Assistant won't refresh the BIOS for your board either. If you're not receiving updates from the motherboard support page, it's likely outdated or incorrect. I recommend updating what you can and checking if problems persist.
