UPDATE: Turning power to "High Performance" didn't help. Now it's freezing right now. The only choice left from me, Fix_that_Glitch, is take out one ram stick and try again. I'll tell you what happens next.

What ram settings are you using? Can you show pictures from CPU-Z - memory and spd sections? (upload to imgur.com and post link) Are you using PCIE riser cable? You might want to try forcing PCIE slot into PCIE 3.0 mode.

Sure here are the 3 screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/p3mDlik View: https://imgur.com/a/p3mDlik About PCIE riser cable, I really don't know what this cable is. How can I check and how to force I appreciate your reply!

You might want to raise the DDR voltage to 1.35V. A PCI-e riser cable helps put graphics cards on a vertical mount. If you don't understand what that means, then you likely don't have it either. The PCI-e slot can be forced into PCI-e 3.0 mode in the BIOS. This could make the system more stable.

Thanks so much for your suggestions! I went to BIOS and raised the DDR voltage to 1.35 as you told me, but when I checked the voltage using CPU-Z, it still shows the same numbers as before. Did I do this correctly, or am I breaking something? Here is the link for the photo and screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/Co6FlYT Check out that link too: View: https://imgur.com/a/Co6FlYT About moving the PCIE to 3.0 and forcing it, I'm waiting to see if raising the DDR voltage fixes my freezing problem.

You got the change right! The program I use, called CPU-Z, does not show the live voltage on the RAM. Instead, it reads what was written in the memory's settings files (SPD) or the overclocking tables (XMP).

Thanks a lot, I guess fixing it by turning up the voltage did the trick. Waited all these days hoping for freezing, and nothing happened. I can't thank you enough; I've been fighting this bug for months. Why does my 1.20v DDR freeze? Shouldn't lower voltages be more stable than higher ones? And why didn't it happen when I built the PC two years ago? It only started happening six months back, before there was no problem at all.

Great. 👍 1.2V is the normal voltage for regular DDR4 memory. 1.35V is called "overclock" mode and it needs more power than standard settings. I don't know why your memory sticks came with a higher XMP profile that didn't use 1.35V by default.

My motherboard does not come with the XMP setting in the BIOS, so when I looked for one there was actually something called AI Overclock Tuner for AMD that acts like XMP on Intel boards. It was turned on to Auto and there is a specific option named DOCP, maybe I should have chosen DOCP instead of keeping it set to Auto?

DOCP or A-XMP? Does that mean the same thing for AMD computers? Now that this stuff works fine and stable, you don't need to touch it unless you really want to. If you switch on DOCP instead, your DDR memory voltage will probably go back down to 1.2V again.
