System freezes after ending a game and fails to start without resetting CMOS settings.
Her memory is Vengeance RGB Pro, it's unclear whether this improves or hinders performance.
I explored turning off specific programs before ending games. Notably, disabling Razer Cortex’s “Game boost” brought stability. It seems the issue might have been related to the CPU entering sleep mode after closing a game that was causing instability. After a few hours, everything has worked smoothly and I haven’t had to reset the CMOS since removing the game boost feature.
Not used to that particular software, but it seems to be a type of hardware booster for the GPU. It’s worth noting that with the unreliable RAM I experienced, my system would freeze in sleep and fail to wake up. It would also power on without any video display every 8 to 12 cold starts, making it hard to tell if it was a boot failure or just a successful start without video. The only solutions were reseating the RAM and GPU every few cold starts until I replaced the RAM with one listed in the board’s QVL.
