The PC may stop working unpredictably following a new Windows 11 setup?
Hi everyone! I'm facing some problems with my PC and would appreciate your help.
My system has been working well before, but after installing a new W11 image I expected it to be stable. Now it keeps crashing unexpectedly.
This issue started after the fresh install and hasn't occurred before. I've booted in safe mode and managed to run it for several hours without problems. The W11 is currently installed on my M.2 drive.
I've done things like reseating RAM, swapping out different RAM modules, flashing the BIOS, resetting the CMOS battery, trying W11 on an SSD, disabling C-states, and running stress tests on both GPU and CPU.
I'm still stuck and not sure what to do next. Any suggestions would be really helpful!
Current specifications:
CPU - Intel i7 12700KF
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
RAM - NETAC Shadow II DDR4 16GB
PSU - Corsair RM750X
MOBO - ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4
SSD - Seagate FireCuda 530
If you need more details, just let me know and I'll be happy to share.
What are the full specifications of all installed parts? Have you attempted to obtain a new installation image from Microsoft via another USB drive? Are there any overclocking adjustments made to the CPU, GPU, or RAM?
Have you used a different USB drive while using the Media Creation Tool?

2x8GB would be ideal.
I understand, but after trying with several sticks, only one slot appears to start. Right now it's in safe mode with one stick handling some demanding tasks and seems fine.
Not sure if this is the cause of the freezing issue.
