Windows 11 PC experiences sudden freezes?
Windows 11 PC experiences sudden freezes?
Updating the power settings to "High performance" didn't fix the issue. It froze just ten minutes ago. The only remaining choice is to remove one RAM stick and check if the freezing occurs. I'll keep you updated on any developments.
What ram settings are you using?
Can you show screenshots from CPU-Z - memory and spd sections?

Are you using PCIE riser cable?
You may want to try forcing PCIE slot into PCIE 3.0 mode.
Here are the 3 screenshots provided.

Regarding the PCIE riser cable, I’m completely unsure what it is. Could you help me figure out how to check and force it?
Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback. I followed your advice to adjust the DDR voltage to 1.35, but when checking with CPU-Z, the values remain unchanged. I’m unsure if I made a mistake or if there’s another factor at play. Here’s the link to the photo and screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/Co6FlYT View: https://imgur.com/a/Co6FlYT
Thank you for your feedback. I believe the solution lies in increasing the DDR voltage, as discussed. I've been eager to check if any freezing occurred after adjusting the voltage, and so far, none have appeared. I truly appreciate your support; I had been dealing with this problem for months due to the instability.
I'm curious about the standard voltage of my DDR (1.20 v) and why it might be causing issues. Isn't a lower voltage more reliable than a higher one? Also, why didn't this problem arise from the beginning? It started around six months ago, but before that (when I built the PC about two years ago), there were no such concerns.
1.2V is the typical DDR4 voltage.
1.35V is the common OC voltage for DDR4.
XMP generally needs a higher voltage for DDR4.
It's unclear why the XMP profile on your cards didn't set a higher voltage automatically.
My motherboard doesn't have the option XMP in bios, so as I searched there is "AI Overclock Tuner" for AMD which compares to XMP in Intel boards.
It was set on "Auto" and there is an option called "D.O.C.P" , maybe I should have enabled "DOCP" instead of leaving it "Auto" ?
