Your new PC has issues.
I had a couple of other threads going to try to solve this but.. I seem to be overlooking, or it is something not yet found out for issues. Let's start with the Hardware: Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi 6e CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x @ 4.7ghz (Cooled by a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Mirror AIO) GPU: Asus DUAL Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB RAM : G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000, model F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR , (timing 30-38-38-96) SSD: Crucial Mx500 2TB M.2: Kingston Fury Renegade m.2 2TB pcie4.0 PSU-Corsair RMX Series (2021) RM850x (both CPU power cables, and both PCIe/GPU cables plugged in using appropriate cable to device) Monitor1: Gigabyte G32QC A 32" 165Hz 1440P (running in 1440p/120hz goal) (Display port) Monitor2:HP 21kd 21" 1080p 60hz (HDMI) Windows 10 Home 64bit My issues? Plentiful. Let us start with the most recent: My PC is freezing up both monitors. Some sound is heard (if it was playing something with sound) but it doesn't recover and requires me to hard power off. I have left the PC there for at least 5 minutes - eventually the sound degrades/stops and it just sits there. - GPU drivers are up to date (no new since 11/30/2022) - Windows 10 is up to date Most recent Game observed in : FFXIV:ARR (Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn) - observed while secondary monitor had YouTube videos playing (in case that matters/helps) Previous issues: Ryzen Master - doesn't seem to do me any good. Auto tuning doesn't succeed, and reverts after a couple of hours of trying/fails/detects unstable. Manually trying to turn on Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) tuner, to undervolt and gain some leeway on fan noise mostly, doesn't seem to work. (2 of the 3 fans rattle at around 60% speed, I contacted Cooler Master and they sent 1 replacement fan - which is how I discovered that 2 actually rattled and not just the 1 I thought.) this speed, be it 60% or whatever - is the 'most used' speed sadly, so it's not just say "during heavy loading of gameplay" that a rattle occurs, but during normal use too. It is also not a 'always' thing.. so I think a balance is offset in the fan- hence trying to undervolt and simply reduce the amount of time my CPU is 'that hot' that needs 'that much fan speed' Even though i think the CPU is only like 66C (what SHOULD my CPU run at? Maybe I am too cold and need to drop fan speeds all together?) Ram issues (bad RAM from memtest86 testing, sent back, got replacement ram, it didn't work out, sent that back, got CURRENT ram...) Lots and lots of testing, benchmarking and the like has been done... so... its been weeks of effort.... would like to get things solved.
This update includes the latest features and components. It is not a transfer from another system.
Clear inquiry. All components are brand new, with fresh Windows 10 setup. I had to flash the BIOS to let the system detect RAM, and faced issues since November when installing or getting things working. I downloaded the latest Windows 10 media creator and used a brand new USB drive. Recently, the system froze again and I had to restart it. I reviewed the Event Viewer—only minor warnings appeared (DistributedCOM, paging error, improper shutdown notes). When I forced power off from freezing, the error indicated Hard Disk 2, which doesn’t exist. This is puzzling.
Additional details were recorded. The computer suddenly stopped working again at 11:30 AM CST. After about three minutes, the YouTube video on monitor 2 ceased functioning, but audio remained audible from the main screen during FFXIV after five minutes. I turned off the PC, restarted it, and arrived here. Checking Event Viewer showed no activity at 11:30 AM; the last entry before was at 10:05:33, noting a change in the Background Intelligent Transfer Service start type from automatic to demand start. Distributed COM displayed several warnings. After rebooting, permission settings for the COM Server application failed to grant Local Activation, triggering alerts and red indicators. The previous shutdown at 10:57 AM on 2/19/2023 was unexpected, and this log suggests it detected the issue before the freeze occurred. (The freeze lasted five minutes on my monitor.) I’m trying to identify what might be causing these unexpected freezes. Questions about fan speed controls remain—am I using Armory Crate “Fan Xpert 4” correctly? It’s set to Fixed RPM, even saved a profile, but it still cycles between normal and boost modes despite lower RPM settings. I intentionally lowered the RPM to allow CPU heat buildup, yet fans keep rev up in boost mode to cool. This isn’t the behavior I expected.)
