Unstable behavior detected Issue identified with system performance
Hey there - I've faced this problem on my PC since it was set up in February, and it's finally gotten my attention. The main trouble seems to be with Chromium apps, which sometimes crash or freeze. For instance, when I open Chrome, it suddenly stops working, or I'm playing a game and switching tabs ends up showing a black screen or freezing. Voice chat stays functional while it's stuck, but the game itself freezes. There are also occasional crashes in Cyberpunk or Spider-Man: Miles Morales, though these happen infrequently. I feel like my system might be struggling with memory, maybe due to BIOS settings or something. In both Windows and CachyOS (which I'm dual-booting), the reported RAM speed is 6000MT/s, which is quite high. I have a MSI B650-M motherboard, a Ryzen 5 7600 processor, Corsair Vengeance RAM at 6000MT/s, and an RTX 3070 with Seasonic PSU. I've been using CachyOS for about three weeks after switching from Windows 11, and it's been performing well overall. I'm not sure if I'm mixing memory types correctly or if XMP settings are affecting things. I just ran a MEMTEST86 and got no errors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! P.S. I also moved to CachyOS for a while, but it's been smooth so far.
Bios has been refreshed. If memory issues persist, consider reducing speed until stability returns. Have you run a memtest? Also, Nvidia drivers may still cause problems for some users. Ensure you have the latest 580.88; if missing, update to 566.36. Avoid installing the full Nvidia app—just the drivers. Review Event Viewer for suspicious errors and Device Manager for warnings. Check Windows health using DISM and SFC commands: https://rtech.support/guides/dism-sfc/. Consider installing CrystalDiskInfo to monitor drive SMART status.
Completed a two-pass memtest86 with no issues detected. It seems the results are normal. Could be a GPU-related concern.
Reduce the RAM speed and see if the issues persist. If they continue, the problem might relate to the Nvidia drivers.
I anticipate testing at 5600MHz next. I'll follow up and check the situation. Odd since 6000MHz seems reliable...
It turns out earlier this month I was configuring memory settings in the MSI BIOS, instead of using the A-XMP option, I accidentally activated a confusing feature named "Memory Try It!" which initially seemed correct but only matched specific timings. After disabling it, I switched back to A-XMP and everything functioned properly—my system now loads smoothly without needing retraining each time. Previously, keeping the BIOS setting for memory context enabled caused crashes on startup. With the right settings in place, performance improved significantly, making the process much faster. Lesson learned: don’t rely on guesswork.
Most games I'm playing now run smoothly at around 30-40 frames per second. Cyberpunk saves load quickly, cutting delays to under five seconds.
