Problem with internet access
I own the Asus rog b550 gaming wifi 2 board and whenever I play games or do demanding tasks on my PC, all my wireless gadgets and Wi-Fi stop working. My Bluetooth headset disconnects, Wi-Fi drops, and the mouse stops responding until I restart the computer. I've tried updating drivers and switching to different ones, but the problem persists. Is this a motherboard issue or something fixable?
It's tough to pinpoint the exact issue. Any factor could be involved. There might be a short circuit somewhere. You'll need to conduct extensive troubleshooting by eliminating every potential cause to identify the root. It makes sense to use an Ethernet connection for gaming, as nothing matches the stability of a wired LAN cable. This isn't just about games; I'd always favor a wired setup for my desktop if possible. If you have that option, go for it.
It seems the issue might be with the motherboard itself. The USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth ports appear to be failing under stress. Could be related to the CPU and GPU as well. It’s worth checking for any visible damage or shorts on the back of the board. A small misplaced screw has caused problems before, so it’s definitely worth investigating further.
I've experienced XMP-related problems with this board generation. It hasn't caused issues for me, but it could be worth reviewing in your BIOS settings. Typically I face memory crashes under heavy load, though some boards behave unexpectedly. By default the XMP feature should be disabled. Try turning it off temporarily and see if the problem persists. If it works, consider disabling it again and checking further.
I’m testing this setup with a Ryzen 7 5700x and a 2070 super. Everything seems to work fine, though my mouse stops working when using the wireless dongle, while my keyboard still functions. This is the most unusual problem I’ve encountered so far—I might need to use the warranty and replace the board.
