System freezes occasionally without stress tests.
System freezes occasionally without stress tests.
I just assembled this machine around mid-2022. It handles gaming nonstop without issues, though it froze three times last night while streaming Twitch. I’ve swapped out the RAM to eliminate that possibility. It doesn’t seem like a power supply unit is the issue, since it rarely fails under full load. Temperatures look normal at idle—loop temp sensors show around 43°C and CPU package hits about 50°C. I think the BIOS tweaks, like XMP and RGB settings, might be the culprits. Any thoughts? The specs are: i9-11900K, ASRock Z590, Steel Legend, Wi-Fi, Gaming X Trio 3080 Ti, EVGA Supernova G5, PSU 80+ Gold, Corsair Vengeance RGB, 32GB DDR4, 3600MHz, WD Black SSD, 2TB Seagate HDD.
It simply shuts off. Occasionally it restarts and loads into Windows. Other times it powers off once but doesn’t boot, then shuts down again.
The official supported XMP version is 3200, which is a slower profile than 3600.
