    [SOLVED] Can't seem to enable XMP settings for new RAM?

    Oh wait have I overlooked that my motherboard only accepts RAM up to 2400mhz? I could have sworn the last RAM that I had allowed for XMP & 3200mhz in BIOS, unless it only showed that but then in reality it still ran at 2400mhz, I honestly never looked after changing the old RAMs frequency.

    Question CPU seriously bottle-necking system after reset/component upgrade!

    CPU temperatures have been perfectly fine while idling and also under load. I'm not able to change PSU right now and test that sadly, however I have been advised from other forum posts that my issue could be to do with XMP profiles being logged from my old system before reset, which don't match...

    Going to reinstall Windows and see if this works, if not, it's definitely going to the repair shop.

    Question All but 2 of my games freeze after a random amount of time.

    Issue: All but 2 of the games I own, freeze after an indeterminable amount of time. This kind of freeze isn't lag, it just point-blank freezes my game screen and forces any audio that was playing to loop over on itself. I physically have to crash the game in order to start playing again. I've...

    Question All my games freeze - PC still works, games require crashing though

    Just used HWinfo to check my PSU voltage, my 5V range was 5.088-5.122V and the 12V range was 11.904-12.192V. I experienced a crash while playing but it didn't make these figures dip or rise. Any help would be really appreciated!

    Question All my games freeze - PC still works, games require crashing though

    I've been playing Stardew Valley today and after about 4-5 hours of playtime over the course of the day, it has unsurprisingly locked up. Below is a recording I caught of it happening (skip to 20 seconds in to see it sooner) As you can see I had just completed an in-game action, although I...

    Question All my games freeze - PC still works, games require crashing though

    It's the morning now and my scan completed overnight, everything is fine in that respect. Currently I'm in the process of trying to capture the freeze as a recording in case it helps here, or if I need to take it into a shop, I'll give an update when I'm able to get a clip as I can't easily...
