Hello, I operate a Ryzen 2600 with an ASUS TUF B450M gaming plus. I encountered some problems, so I attempted a stress test to identify the issue. When the CPU was under heavy load, my system became unresponsive. The motherboard stopped supporting USB peripherals entirely—when I unplugged and replugged it, it wouldn’t power on at all. My LAN connection dropped, but I could still see HWINFO updating thermal data and other information. Prime95 continued to run even though I couldn’t interact with the system or perform any resets. I switched to a Platinum 750 PSU from Seasonic, but the problem persisted. Stress testing RAM and GPU didn’t trigger any errors or issues. I suspect either the CPU or the motherboard might be faulty. Do you think either of these components could be the cause? If so, is there any way to determine which one is defective?

New Windows setup? Highest BIOS version? Recent stability problems only? GPU heat during load? CPU performance remains consistently strong. Motherboard issues seem to appear now.

Verify if precision enhancement or extended frequency range is active in your BIOS settings.

The installation was using Windows 10 from the start, but I had to replace the motherboard. I kept the same system without any formatting, though I’m not sure if that’s related. The BIOS is the latest version, and I’ve always experienced this problem at least once before. It happens rarely, so I didn’t investigate much until now. The CPU temperature is normal, around 60°C, and the precision boost is set to auto. I tried enabling and disabling it, but it doesn’t affect anything. I haven’t found any information about this in the BIOS yet.

That's accurate... I used to get lots of buzzers and restarts with the *highly praised* MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX... now it's back to my reliable B350, and things are mostly fine. Most reviews and fans don't share the full picture. AMD CPUs are solid, but because this platform is newer (Ryzen), there are still support and reliability concerns along with driver issues.

I attempted to set up Windows on a spare SSD and then executed Prime95. After a brief 5-minute run, the program seemed stable, though it crashed within 10 to 30 seconds during the fresh install. It appears the issue might stem from residual problems with the old motherboard, even without additional software. If anyone has tips for a quick fix without a full reinstall, it would be greatly appreciated.

During testing I realized the problem lies in combining hwinfo with corsair link simultaneously
