What is your entire system specification including PSU make and model?
Do you have latest BIOS installed?
Do you have latest drivers installed (including MB/Chipset drivers)? (Not using a driver updater program too!)
What have you tried so far as to avoid us replicating steps?
Do you have any overclock/XMP enabled?
What CPU and GPU temps do you reach under load?
Does the issue only occur in R6S?
I created a .pdf of everything I have done -everything done within these past few days on the different forums. I'll paste in what I've done here then I will go into detail about my system build and my BIOS settings.
DESKTOP-2AIQSE9 - Documentation
June 20th, 2019 - Programs used on a daily-basis begin to boot slowly, longest
recorded time was 5 minutes before Steam Bootstrapper loaded it’s network settings
and launched the client. Legacy games and programs that used to launch almost
instantaneously began to hang for up to 30 seconds before booting to main screen.
“Micro-stutters” began occurring frequently in modern games (Rainbow Six: Siege) and
more recently began to freeze (5-10 seconds) then crash to desktop without warning
and no indication as to what caused the crash.
July 22nd, 2019 - After a full Windows 10 wipe and reinstallation of most used programs
and games onto Samsung 860 EVO 500gb, received 4 consecutive BSOD after
rebooting to fix an input issue with a controller. Received QR code and Windows error
relating to: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
August 6th, 2019 - Purchased new Crucial Ballistix Sport 3000 MHz DDR4 RAM to
replace PNY Anarchy RAM (both 16gb of 8GBx2).
Troubleshooting Experiments
● Reinstall video-card drivers
● Ensure XMP is enabled in UEFI BIOS settings and is running correct profile,
volts, timings, etc.
● Check temperatures (no change, stayed within normal bounds)
● Fresh install of Windows
● Moved major programs to SSD (no change, still crashes often, as well as “slow”)
● Run benchmarking programs (userbenchmark, Afterburner, Memtest86 +) **still
testing** - 8/7/19
● Observe memory usage in task manager while running multiple programs
(spotify, firefox + multiple tabs, cpu-intensive game)
● Fresh install of programs + games as well as verifying game files when possible
Right, as for your questions:
1.)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zrBMfH <--- here's my pcpartpicker system build, my psu is a Corsair RM850x
2.) I installed the most recent BIOS build yesterday, I was previously running a 2016 version, upgraded to 2018 build (Asus Z170-a)
3.) I downloaded the chipset file from Asus yesterday as well as a few other updates for my MOBO, didn't install those just yet. Was unsure how to in regards to chipset, etc.
4.) see list above
5.) Another issue arises when I use my XMP profile for my
new ram (bought less than a month ago), I get audio static/crackling as well as horrible interference when oc'ing my ram to the advertised speed of 3000mhz (currently at 2400 as it does not do this at this DRAM freq, did not used to do this a week ago which was previously @ 3000mhz). My BCLK is 4.0 on my i7 6700k and has stayed that way once I did a complete system wipe/reinstall.
6.) unsure, used to be bad as my old heatsink wasn't making contact at all with my cpu, mounted improperly. New heatsink makes contact and is around range of 89-95 degrees Fahrenheit based off this screenshot I have after installing new heatsink.
7.) That's the thing, I feel as though I'm suffering from bias when other games crash but the frequency at which they happen is not even close to as bad as it is in siege. Today I was told by a friend to use DDU + uninstall uplay (and siege by proxy) and do a fresh install. Did all of these things and the first match I loaded into I was fine, but when I got to the scoreboard after I finished the match my screen froze mid transition to the main menu and stayed that way until I force-shutdown my pc.
