System is freezing!
System is freezing!
My windows becomes stuck, I can still move the mouse and use ctrl alt delete, but explorer isn't functioning well. I pressed alt f4 to open shutdown or restart options, but when i hit enter nothing happens. This issue has lasted for a month now and I've experienced it multiple times. I thought turning off and on my monitor might help since it could be the hardware, but it didn't work. The screen went black after unplugging and replugging it. I tried to disconnect and reconnect the GPU, which had a display, but the whole screen froze. I'll upload a video showing what happened after I restarted and then plugged my monitor back in onto the GPU. Thanks in advance.
Specs: 4x4GB RAM, 2400MHz teamgroup, Elite RAM, Ryzen 5 2600, 6 cores, 12 threads (no overclock due to motherboard limits), ASUS EX A320M GAMING, 1TB HDD, 500GB HDD, 250GB NVMe SSD, SAPPHIRE RX 5500XT, 8GB RAM, model from 2022.
Honestly, these A320 boards aren't built for heavy loading like this. They're more suited for office PCs—just a decent CPU and four RAM sticks. It seems you might need a new motherboard. The real reason for the freezes is likely memory instability. Trying to run four sticks through a board that only supports dual channels will probably cause issues. If you pull the 1 and 3 sticks from the left and try the system, I'm sure you won't experience any freezing.
