Attempt to configure to stock settings and perform memtest. If freezing persists, reduce RAM to one stick and retry. If it still freezes, switch to another stick. Observe which sticks freeze and which remain unaffected. If none freeze at stock settings, the issue likely lies with the CPU.
If all function without freezing at stock settings, proceed with a gradual increase in overclocking and testing. Overclocking requires repeated adjustments and testing until a suitable setting is identified.
