Problem with hardware – games/apps freezing unexpectedly – texture issues
Problem with hardware – games/apps freezing unexpectedly – texture issues
I found some corrupt files and corrected them, but the issue still remains. Turning off turbo boost seemed to resolve it, though it reduces CPU performance. Games function properly without turbo boost when using 1 and 2 RAM sticks. This suggests the CPU might be faulty or there could be another underlying problem.
I would suggest running another memtest given the detected corruption. If no issues are found after several extra attempts beyond the usual test, I believe the motherboard remains defective. Even a single error during testing would warrant replacing the RAM and rechecking.
