The device becomes unresponsive whenever you approach it.
Hello, I've faced a similar issue for some time now. When I move past the chair and go in front of the computer, it freezes completely. The keyboard and mouse stop responding, and it only allows me to force shut down by pressing the off button. In worse cases, the screen disconnects, the fans run at full speed, and a red light appears on the board indicating DRAM activity. To resolve this, I must cut power to the PSU because it won't let me turn it off. Another attempt was made a few days ago when a friend brought it in for testing. There were no issues during that day, but after returning it, everything worked fine again. Have others encountered the same problems? Any suggestions on what might be causing these issues? I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting RAM, adjusting their position, running tests with MEMTEST, changing the power cable, or moving the PC to a different outlet. The monitor is still working, but the mouse and keyboard remain unresponsive even when disconnected.
Is this occurring elsewhere? I'm curious if simply passing by could affect the power supply. At a church where I do sound work, the outlets seem unstable—standing or sitting near them makes the plugs wobble and eventually drop. It’s almost like the pressure from a person is enough to shift the floor and walls slightly, causing a plug to lose its hold. Though it seems unlikely, it’s a possibility.
A bios doesn't change back on its own. I don’t have any clarification either.
389 out of 5000 When my friend took it away, he ran stress tests all day—moving and jumping many times—but none of the expected scenarios happened. Something I missed when posting was that after activating the XMP profile, a blue screen appears after some time, though changing the frequency manually and keeping timing and voltage automatic fixes it.
I experienced an XMP problem on a Tuf x570 with 3200mhz RAM recently. A newer BIOS update resolved it by introducing additional RAM profiles. Before that, I was limited to only the standard RAM speeds regardless of the voltage I applied.
That's fascinating! The issue seems unusual, but having a random "walk by not touching it" scenario is quite engaging. Initially, I thought about relocating the tower to another area and checking if the problem persists. The fact that your friend moved it and the issue vanished suggests it might be related to something nearby—possibly the metal desk picking up interference from ungrounded power cables in your space. This could disrupt RAM chip power delivery, especially with XMP profiles, making it more sensitive than forcing BIOS settings. Have you tried testing it in another room or using a different outlet?
Do you possess a webcam? Certain models include "follow my face" functions. This might relate to its operation. There appears to be an unusual fragment of code within the system that can cause freezing when the software requests focus changes. Just a speculation.
