Hello, Im running into a problem where my CPU's clock speed will randomly drop to 0.5 Ghz for no apparent reason. Sometimes it only lasts a few seconds, while other times it will last until I restart my PC. This machine has been working fine for a while now, so I'm a little confused. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Windows 10
Ryzen 7 5800X3D

try updating chipset drivers. https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/chipsets/am4/b550.html

maybe lan drivers?
grab latest from here: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B550M Steel Legend/index.asp#Download

replaced GPU drivers? try running ddu in safe mode, uninstall Nvidia drivers, boot back into normal mode and reinstall newest Nvidia drivers.

I get an error saying I dont have an AMD system whenever I try to update my chipset drivers.

Updated lan drivers to no avail.

Fresh gpu drivers, nothing changed.
