The issue was the ram, i removed two of the four rams and it's stable now

Title says what the issue I'm having, the PC just shuts off when in-game. I can't find anything in the Windows event logger that helps. Any stress-testing I run, it passes without any CPU or GPU faults. What I have tried: Got an error when trying to stress test the cpu with OCCT, fixed it by...

This whole situation just sucks, however, that comment made me giggle, so I thank you for that.

The story: I was going to send back a Z490 board(a good one), but when trying to get the CPU-cover back on, it scratched the pins. It bent like four, but I think I managed to save three of them. The big <Mod Edit>; on the last pin it was "laying" down on the socket, and when I tried to pull it...

I have not been ignoring the replies, however, the issue has not come back (in 5 days). So I ran Windows Driver Verifier again, and the whole system felt off, It was really slow, and long and behold in task manager "system interrupts " was running at 80%. My theory was there had to be some...

I'm running the latest bios, however, that's from 2019. They stopped updating that motherboard, I'm guessing since they come out with a rev 2 version. I have not tried to downgrade the bios.

Yes, I've had the BIOS freeze on me a few times when I tried to re-flash it, however, it has not happened again since.

I ran it but looks like it didn't find anything wrong. Can I ask you why you think the board is the issue here?

Nothing really stands out when the freezing happens, beside the CPU behaviour. I'm going, to be honest, the freezing is starting to become extremely annoying. I'm willing to buy a new PSU and a new CPU to see if that fixes it, and I can always return them. What are your theories here? What...

I've been doing quite a few tests lately, all from PSU to CPU. 90% of when the pc freezes it's something with the CPU utilization. It either drops to 0% or spikes to 100%(that only happened ones). When monitoring the resource monitor, I've noticed that the "System Interrupts" process jumped...

I got a small stutter right now, and when looking at resource monitor, the CPU dropped all the way to zero. It might be the issue here, what are your thoughts on that? Or is it the PSU/mb that isn't delivering the power correctly? View: https://imgur.com/a/5qmIqwK

I did those two tests, but got the message saying everything was good/passed.

I actually almost gave up when I got no answers here but was so happy when I received the notification that someone had replied, thank you! After I posted my questions, I've tried to replicate the issue, but with no success. However, noticed that when running AIDA 64 that Windows freezes when...
