PC configuration details: Built in late 2024 using ASROCK B650hdv/m.2 Ryzen 5 7600 G.skill Flare x5 32gb 6000mt/s, AMD RX 7800 XT Seasonic FocusGX 850, Crucial P3 2TB SSD, Corsair 4000D Airflow case. I’ve adjusted the GPU voltage from 1150mV down to around 1100mV and tested various clock speeds. My experience with CS2 has been mostly stable, though I noticed occasional random reboots. Recently, my PSU began buzzing during demanding gameplay, which turned out to be a failing fan bearing. I kept playing lighter titles so the fan didn’t spin, but even then, the system would still restart. A few weeks ago, while playing CS2 with intense loading or match-ends, the PC froze completely and rebooted shortly afterward. This behavior reminded me of issues reported online about CS2 instability after undervolting/overclocking. I replaced my PSU with a BeQuiet PowerZone2 Platinum 850W last week, but the problem persists. The system remains stable during heavy gaming sessions even when I push overclock limits. Windows Event Viewer shows no errors, and tools like WhoCrashed and MemTest86 passed without issues. Disk health is good (99% SSD), and I ran SFC/scan and updated drivers. BIOS is current to version 3.30, and I’ve checked for corrupt files. I switched my power plan to balanced in Windows and updated the GPU driver. Anyone has advice on resolving this?

I’ve observed that MemTest86 works well at identifying major memory problems, but it doesn’t test every scenario. It wasn’t built to mimic everyday PC usage—such as switching between tabs, launching games, or handling multiple demanding tasks simultaneously. In those situations, minor stability issues may appear without obvious errors or crash reports. Additionally, enabling EXPO or XMP pushes your RAM beyond the standard JEDEC limits. This is normal since your memory is built for it, but it increases stress on the system. AMD’s Ryzen 7000 CPUs (particularly non-X3D models) might react poorly with faster DDR5 speeds, depending on your motherboard, BIOS version, and memory controller quality. To check, try disabling EXPO/XMP and observe the results. Restart and enter BIOS (press Del or F2 at startup). Navigate to memory settings—often labeled OC Tweaker or AI Tweaker—and turn off EXPO or XMP. Save changes and restart. Afterward, your RAM will revert to a slower, more stable rate, typically around 4800 MT/s for DDR5. This mode isn’t optimal for performance, but it’s reliable for testing. If your system no longer reboots after this, it suggests your previous settings were too aggressive, even if MemTest seemed normal.
