Hey there, the issue might be related to overheating or BIOS conflicts. Since your CPU is at full speed and changes in BIOS or speed management cause the system to freeze or crash, it could point to thermal throttling or a compatibility problem. Your setup with an older motherboard and a budget PC might also play a role. Check cooling performance and consider updating BIOS if possible.
It seems your processor might be throttling due to thermal issues. Have you checked the case and cleaned the heat sink? You’ll likely need to do that and then apply a high-quality thermal paste to the CPU. I personally prefer Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, but for most users, MX-4 works just fine (or similar options).
In HWMonitor and MSI Afterburner I see around 40 idle on the stock cooler and a peak of 65 under load, which makes me think it’s not the cause.
bios indicates the CPU runs at -0.5°C with a fan speed of 65535, suggesting a possible issue related to the motherboard.
it runs smoothly even under heavy use, except when you change the CPU fan settings.
