Hello everyone!

Forgive me but I'm a bit of a novice and this is my first build.

So I built my PC about 2 months ago and I'm starting to have some issues with what I assume is my RAM and CPU.
In games I randomly get lag spikes, especially in World of Warcraft. I do get stutters whenever I encounter monsters in Lethal Company and just random spikes in THE FINALS. Even tho I'm running 200+ FPS in all the games I play.

So I was playing around with the PBO in my Asus ROG BIOS and turned it on. The next day my PC would not turn on and I was stuck on an orange light on my motherboard. I had the latest BIOS update since December. Once my PC started in "safe mode" I got back in and the PBO was turned on to "Advanced". I tried turning it off but it defaulted back to "Advanced".
I noticed that there was a new BIOS update to I flashed it.

Whenever I have EXPO I enabled to get my RAM up to 6000 MHz it takes some time to get my PC going. I have it disabled, it turns on almost immediately.

My CPU is like idling on 4000-4500 GHz. in most cases and when I look in Ryzen Master it goes up to 5100 GHz. Did I fry my CPU?

I've run Benchmark on both GPU and CPU and nothings seems wrong. Windows memory Diagram with no issues. Dxdiag with no issues.


My Rig:

ASUS - ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI
NVIDIA RTX 4070
AMD - Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) EXPO




Thanks in advance and hopefully someone can shed some light into what is going on.
 
PSU: make, model, wattage? New to build and 2 months old?l

Disk drive(s): Make, model, capacity, how full?

Which LED on the motherboard is orange? Check the motherboard's User Guide/Manual to identify the LED and the color meaning.
 
This is the PSU:

CORSAIR - RM Series RM850 850W ATX 80 PLUS GOLD fully modular.

The Drive:

Samsung - 990 PRO 2TB Internal SSD PCle Gen 4x4 NVMe

The solid orange light indicates that it is the DRAM according to asus manual.

I bought everything brand new to the build.

Thank you
