Hi everyone, for a while now i've had issues with my pc, it's not making it unplayable but it's annoying when it happens. I've got the latest drivers installed and chipset. It's installed on my SSD's though there's an old HDD in my computer that's getting a bit old (though no games on it) however i'm not sure if it's the cause. Here's a link to my pc. MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (MS-7C02) Performance Results - UserBenchmark, ask whatever you want. Please thank you for investigation! any help appreciated.

follow this step by step in order (read till end):
  • Disconnect from internet
  • Uninstall gpu driver using DDU (clean and do not restart).
  • Uninstall all the processors (is a must, should be 16 on yours, also when it asks for restart, click on no and keep uninstalling all processors) on device manager like this:

  • Uninstall AMD Chipset Software in control panel (if there is none, skip it.)

  • restart the pc to bios, disable AMD fTPM and secure boot, save and exit, go to bios again, flash to the latest bios, then after updating bios go to bios again, then load default or optimized settings, disable CSM, enable Above 4G Decoding and Resizable bar option (these 2 options wont be available unless CSM is disabled), then save and exit.

  • boot up to windows and install the latest Chipset driver (should be ver 4.03.xx), then reboot.

  • Install the latest gpu driver, and then connect to internet.

    *do this all offline until reboot after installing chipset driver, also you may reboot to bios after all of this to set the XMP (and previous settings you did). Download needed files (highlighted word) before doing step 1, do the step in orders.

  • Run cmd as admin, then do chkdsk /x /f /r, after that do sfc /scannow, after that try to defrag the hdd, i usually do defrag D: /d /o /u /v and let it be till finished (only got 1 volume for HDD, D: only, in case you do have any volume on the hdd, just do all the volume), and optimize the ssd with defrag /l /u /v then defrag /o /u /v (even the efffects are minimal to none, try it).

  • And check windows update if there is any and install them (except optional update). Don't forget to turn on Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (Nvidia GPUs only) in graphics settings and reboot.

  • Make sure the psu connected to the gpu is 1 pcie cable per 1 slot (use main cable, not the branches/split) like this:
