Issue with 14700k semi new build experiencing freezing.
Alright I will be able to add more info when I get home and maybe some screenshot if needed but here it goes and bear with me. If it doesn't say new next to hardware component then it's from previous system. Specs: Gigabyte z790 Aorus Elite X AX - New I7-14700k - new 2 x 32GB Corsair 6400mhz ram - new DeepCool LT720 360mm AIO - new Seasonic 1300W Prime Platinum PSU Samsung 980 Pro 2tb m.2 3080ti fe hardlined with EK Quantum Vector block Windows 11 with updates done So I just did a fresh install of Windows 11 and when I try to start a game computer freezes and requires me to do a hard reset to get out of it. I have very minimal on OS as of yet program wise yet. I flashed to latest bios (of the the top of my head can't remember the number but it is the latest offered). All drivers are up to date l. And I mean all of them including all updates Gigabyte has to offer. Graphics drivers for 3080ti were at latest which is the 552 but have since tried older during trouble shooting like 551 and currently at 546 version. I can mimic the freeze using furmark and it froze at around 5 min. Will include picture of that. All my temps across the board are great even during heavy stress tests. Using OCCT I stressed out cpu and memory for up to 1 hr on heavy loads and nothing not even high temps. Running 3d adaptive in OCCT I get all the whea errors pictured. Ran memory diagnostics also and it found 0 errors. Used samsung magician to check hard drive knowing it's a 980 pro and it is all good and still the correct firmware. I made sure both sticks of ram are in correct channels. Tried one stick at a time. I watched shit loads of YouTube videos at the same time and no problems. Can sit idle or run programs like revit and fly models and no issues. I took my gpu over to neighbors and tested on system I built and no issues. Only time I get freezing is when opening game and 2 minutes after or the furmark test at like 5 minutes. If it matters the two games I tried were warzone on both battlenet and steam and also pubg on steam.
I overlooked adding that detail earlier. Yes, I reduced the RAM speed to 6000MHz and turned off XMP completely, bringing it down to the standard 4800MHz.
as a k cpu, take away the gpu and see if the issue persists.
removed all external connections, including USB and similar devices. I've experienced issues with external drives as well. To avoid potential problems, the keyboard and mouse should remain functional. If you have backup options, switch to a different keyboard and mouse.
I usually test this on every build until everything works smoothly. Just need a single monitor, keyboard, mouse, and an Ethernet connection.
It contains internal controller compartments for fans as well. If it’s water-cooled, you just need the pump. For air cooling, the CPU fan is sufficient. Also, check the front panel connectors.
