Hello, I recently upgraded my PC with an ASUS Crosshair Hero X670E motherboard, AMD 7800X3D chipset, 32GB DDR5 3080Ti RAM, and NVMe SSD. Windows is running smoothly, but the system still experiences frequent freezes. Even simple tasks like watching YouTube cause random stuttering, audio dropouts, buffering, and overall performance drops. It happens in various ways.

You replaced the old system with a brand-new motherboard and CPU, or you transferred it from a previous setup. A fresh installation is important to fix any strange problems Windows might have after the upgrade.

I've recently installed the latest Graphics and Chipset drivers. I can review HWinfo or HWmonitor to detect any overheating concerns. Are there any newer BIOS updates for your motherboard?

I purchased a fresh NVMe drive and updated the system interface.

Everything is up to date, including the bios. There’s something causing overheating, but it doesn’t freeze for a few seconds and returns to normal for a while.

I check the connection method—directly into the wall, via a power bar, or using a surge protector.

Plug directly on the wall, same as before, no problems after upgrade

Based on your previous equipment, you might be drawing significantly more energy now. Consider using a surge protector rated at 1000J or higher to address the issue.

I question if my power use actually dropped. It seems I switched from a x299 i9 to a 7800X3D, which is a lower power chip, but the x299 could handle about 300 watts, whereas AMD usually stays near 60 watts.

The 7800X3D is an even newer component designed to react better to voltage changes. However, I’d also review your RAM settings. If you’re using XMP profiles, enable them; otherwise, disable them.
