Hey People,

I have been having the worst problems with my pc. I've been dealing with multiple freezing's with my PC for months. My windows will freeze and stop responding. I crash very often in games. I freeze in every single game, even roblox. Google freezes. Even typing this it freezes. I was suspected it to be a combo of a bad mobo and a bad ssd. I am waiting for the B550 to come out to buy a new board and i haven't figured out the ssd yet. If anyone has any insight on this please, please help me. Specs posted on the top of this thread. I have attached my heart and soul into building this.

Have you tried removing your RAM overclock?

Yes I have. I just added it a couple days ago to see if it would fix it. It did not. It helped a tiny tiny bit. Made me loading into windows faster

I feel for you. I had the worst issue with this after upgrading a 370 board from 1700 to 2700x.
I had reinstalled Windows multiple times, changed hardware, all manner of things I tried. I found that turning off PBO/XMP helped but wasn't a permanent fix. What ended up making mine happy was a BIOS update to latest, even against the manufacturer recommend based on my CPU. (Taichi and 2700X) Even with the express understanding that I could have bricked my mobo at that point it was either going to work or I was buying a new one anyway.

Funny enough that every part I took out of this machine in the process of locating the fault is another whole machine that runs like a champ.

I've done a bois updated everyday to see if a new one came out. It still has not helped. I have done AT LEAST 25 times on this PC alone. And that is not a exaggeration.

Have you reset CMOS?

What temperature is your processor running at idle and during gaming?

Are you running any motherboard utilities or other utilities such as iCue?

It's not certain yet, but B550 may not support Ryzen 2000 (Picasso) processors, only Ryzen 3000 (Matisse) and the new Ryzen 4000.

It's highy likely your Windows installation has been corrupted, possibly by an unstable memory overclock previously. If so, doing a repair upgrade install might fix it:

At the very beginning of my troubleshooting I considered my PSU as initial suspect. You have a lot of load on a white rated 600W....

My other immediate try would be a different set of RAM.

CPU temps are 30's, I've done a cmos reset. I've swapped ram before, no fix. I am also buying to psu so i know about that. My mobo doesnt come with anything special heres a link to it.https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-B350-PLUS/
