Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
Mobo: ASUS Crosshair VIII
GPU: Gigabyte RX 590
Memory: 2x 8GB G.skill Ripjaws V 3200mhz Cl 16
Boot drive: Samsung 970 EVO 1tb NVME
HDD: Seagate barracuda 7200rpm 2tb SATA
PSU: Corsair RM750x
(Planning on replacing CPU and GPU with 5900x and 6800xt when they become reasonably obtainable)
I built this PC about a year and a half ago (Jan 2020). Shortly after I built it I had a small incident with some thermal paste and it got on the pins of the CPU. I did my best clean the pins off with isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. The CPU still works, but ever since that day it has refused to run the memory above 2133mhz. I know it must be the CPU because the motherboard I use now is a different one than what I had then and I tested the memory by using a friends RAM. It still only clocked to 2133mhz, XMP does nothing nor does manually adjusting the timing and voltage. I have accepted the fact that I need a new CPU and will be getting one whenever I can get one.
A few months ago my PC started to constantly BSOD after I booted my pc and used it for a few minutes. It was unusable because obviously what ever I was doing was lost whenever it crashed. I managed to fix that first issue by giving my PC a fresh install of windows. It worked, and for a few weeks my PC ran normally. A few weeks ago it did it again, and I again had to give it a fresh install of windows. It worked for a little bit but it is now doing it again. Im concerned because theres nothing I'm doing that could be corrupting windows like this. I've run a virus scan several times and it says everything is fine. Ive run the windows diagnosis tool and it also says everything is fine. I'm asking if anybody can give a second opinion to conclude if it is simply time to get a new CPU or if I'm making a silly mistake, any thoughts or ideas are welcome!
