I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to address this freezing issue I get.

The base specs are:
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus WiFi II
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
GPU: Aus ROG STRIX OC V2 Radeon RX 6650 XT 8GB
Memory: 2x 8GB Corsair CMW16GX4M2C3200C16

I installed Win 11 on it, and it seemed fine during the build with no crashes at all. But since installing some games it periodically freezes. I don't have to run any of those games/apps, it just seems to happen after a period of time - say 5-10 mins or so.

I've tried with and without DOCP/XMP enabled and same thing happens.

I'm wondering if there is some sort of driver issue related to Win11 or something.
I'm currently running memtest86 with DOCP enabled to try and rule out the memory.

If that passes without issue, I'm tempted to wipe it all and go with Win10.
But are there some obvious tests I'm missing, or known issues with that RAM and AMD?

Any pointers appreciated.
 
All components are brand new.
PSU: Corsair CV550 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Monitor: Iiyama G2470HSU 1080p (Display Port)
Storage: 2TB Crucial M2 NVMe Gen3

Please let me know if any other specs are needed.

The games I installed seem to trigger a spam filter on the forum - they are Mine**aft, Ro*lox and Steam. But not sure if thats related.

Memtest passed ok. Results: https://docdro.id/z6KUsAN
I'll see if I can get it to freeze again.

I see the memory isnt specifically listed on their support page:

but it seems the Corsair Vengeance had an issue with older Ryzen, not so much B550/ 5500 - but I'm still tempted to try it with Gskill if it freezes again.
