Hi Guys,

I really need help since im losing my mind at the moment.
I've upgraded my PC with a new graphicscard and new RAM. and not sure if since then, but my games keep freezing, not responding, and crashing by it self, or needing to be ended via taskmanager.

Yesterday I have done a completely new fresh windows install, deleted all apps, programs, and reinstalled all driver etc.
I thought this would definitely fix it, because i already checked my RAM, windows drivers/updates, gpu drivers, and temps of my CPU/GPU.

Nothing that showed any issues, but just now, again the same problem happened.
While gaming, suddenly the game freezes, and no longer responds. Task Manager says the same. ( Task not responding ).
Issue happens with multiple games, and disabled all background apps and more to prevent crashes.

Done Powershell, CMD repairs, and still the same problem.

I really need help because like i said im literally losing my mind.

GPU RTX 3080 Gigabyte
CPU i7 8700k Coffee Lake @ 3.7 GHZ
RAM DDR4 3600 MHZ Corsair RGB Ram.
MBO Micro-Star International Co. LTD Z370-A PRO
Power Supply Cooler Master G750M

Run 3x 1440p monitors @ 165hz
RGB GPU Cables from Lian Li Strimer

465GB Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB (SATA (SSD))
465GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKS-00UU3A0 (SATA )


Hope someone can help me out.

Glenn.

My Speccy said DRAM Frequency @ 1800 MHZ.
Bios i enabled XAMP, and task manager shows 3600 MHZ speed.
You wrote you checked your ram.
Is that how you checked it by just looking at how fast it was running?

Grab a copy of memtest86 and put it on a flash stick.
Boot the stick and let it run......no errors allowed.

What speed is this new ram running at and how did you test it?
