Issue with PC freezing or crashing without BSOD, experiencing kernel power errors typically during moderate workloads?
after the drivers one final message from me...........if it keeps going, proceed to bios and turn off the tpm
I also want the cooling system you provide, at least I’d open it, clean it, and apply fresh thermal paste (I’ve only used mx-'19 for the past 5-6 years). If possible, could you upload a photo of the cooler so I can identify it? Since the processor is quite hot, it’s important to check it properly.
it seems like a DeepCool Gammax C40 with recently applied thermal paste, cpu temperature around 45°C when idle, and no more than 70°C during gaming.
I also have the newest chipset drivers from MSI, but the AMD links differ; should I focus on updating from one source over the other? I was using MSI initially, thinking it would be better for my specific board, but I’ll check the other options once the chipset issues are resolved.
I’m starting to think it might be an 850 EVO, as it seems to have a lifespan of about 5 years and I’ve had it for just under double that time. (plus all the C drive errors… could those be contributing to the problems I’ve been experiencing?)
It looks like the BIOS and AMD drivers might have stabilized the issue (along with the recent graphics, audio, and driver updates). It's still early to confirm, but I've had two sessions without crashes. I'll update when I'm more sure it's resolved.
The default RAM frequency in my BIOS was 2133 MHz instead of the advertised 3200 MHz. Should I adjust it to match, or could that cause problems?
whenever you refresh the bios, everything reverts to the standard options. You'll need to turn off xmp and particularly AMDftpm, as it becomes enabled automatically after the update.
AMD CPU fTPM is a reliable component from AMD for safeguarding its CPU hardware. It operates within the system firmware rather than requiring a separate chip installation. Essentially, AMD fTPM represents an advanced version of the typical TPM, implemented through microchips.
Updates are progressing steadily, though games still experienced brief freezes occasionally. I wasn’t encountering crashes during streaming, but I haven’t reached a stable point under heavy usage yet. Now my system is starting to fail unpredictably, especially when idle. Recently, I had a crash after watching a YouTube video, with no BSOD—screens went black and then reset as if nothing happened.
