    Question New PC build is freezing & crashing ?

    Hey mate, apologies for the huge time gap in responses, don't get as much free time to work on this as I would like at the moment. The issue has resumed as of this morning when I was simply trying to open CPU-Z, only other programs running were start-up/background. CPU-Z is showing the DRAM...

    Question New PC build is freezing & crashing ?

    Apologies, I do have also have CPU-Z. Not sure what I should be seeing that indicates if XMP is enabled or not. If it should appear in the "Instructions" section, XMP is not listed by name. Only the following: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, EM64T, AES, AVX, AVX2, AVX-VNNI, FMA3...

    Question New PC build is freezing & crashing ?

    Mate, you are a legend for sticking with me through this. I've got HWiNFO and GPU-Z - so let me know if there is anything that might be helpful to you. RAM: On the box: Size: 32 GB Freq: 2394.1MHz Timing: 40-40-40-76 tRC: 116 XMP-6400 (not 100% what this means or if it's what you're...

    Question New PC build is freezing & crashing ?

    Sorry mate, build novice here. Just troubleshooting as I go on this one. What is XMP, and how would I disable it? Not sure what CPU temps were, going to try another benchmark and keep a closer eye on that this time.

Subsequent crash after logging back in after stress test was 30 seconds after logging in and...

    Question New PC build is freezing & crashing ?

    I've installed GPU-Z and run the PCIe render test. It doesn't crash immediately, but it does eventually crash at a similar times as if a game was running (ranging 2 minutes to 45 minutes). I've run this test on both dual monitor and each monitor separately.

    Question New PC build is freezing & crashing ?

    UPDATE I've re-connected all the power connections and re-inserted RAM, GPU into the Mobo. BIOS has been updated. GPU and PSU fans spin up when PC starts, but I've noticed they don't spin up when games have launched and are running. Presume that they don't spin up when under low load...

    Question New PC build is freezing & crashing ?

    System will freeze / crash when launching or running games. This also rarely occurs when streaming video and browsing web (Firefox / Edge). Temps seem to be fine on GPU and CPU. PC BUILD: OS: Win 11 Home Motherboard: Gigabyte B760I Aorus Pro CPU: Intel i5-14400F GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT...
