Title. When attempting to utilize my stock speeds, I notice my bios splash screen appears but the system freezes before Windows boots. Overclocking works, yet the computer experiences random crashes.

I am on version 2.90 but I think there is a new release. I don't have a USB to flash the bios at the moment so I'm not sure how to update it.
