Question New Build: Lag, Freeze, Crashes

[padmjfp]

Recently built PC lagging, freezes and crashes. I dont know if it is a PSU issue since I have 300W headroom based on pcpartpicker: I double checked the estimated wattage was calculated based on max wattages.

Build: pcpartpicker list

• CPU: AMD 7900x
• MB: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard
• RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000
• GPU: AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 100-505826 8GB
  • I only bought this so the monitors do not used shared/onboard ram, because without gpu, ram utilizations are almost maxed out
• Case: Thermaltake View 200 TG ARGB ATX
• CPU Cooler Deepcool AK620
• Fans (in addition to case fans)
• PSU: PowerSpec PS 650BSM 650 W 80+ Bronze
• 34" curved
• 34" flat
• 2x-3x 24" monitor

Background:

• I recently bought new CPU, MB, and RAM (AMD) , all other components are from old build
• System freezes when left idle for a 30+ mins
  • Changed settings to never sleep and never go to screen saver, still freezes
• Activated EXPO & power settings set to high performance
• System crashed a few times when I was on a video call, sharing screen, and was compiling code
  • GPU and RAM utilizations were all under 30%, can't remember the CPUs utilization exactly, but I remember it was fluctuating, and reached over 80% during some times
• I used to have i912900k, 32gb ddr5 build, and same thing happened when the build ran great for a few days then randomly slowed down when i did not make setting changes and did not make driver changes
• System ran perfect for a few days then randomly got significantly slower:
  • As in, I made changes and downloads, system ran perfect for a few days, then randomly slowed down:
  • Did not change any settings from when it was running well to when it randomly slowed down
• Temps:
  • CPU tops out at 50C, usually around 45C
  • GPU: consistently around 80-90C but this seems to be normal for my GPU

What I have done:

• Fresh Windows 11 install
• Ensured all drivers are updated
• Took system apart and put back together to ensure all connections are fine
• Moved flat 34" connection to HDMI on MB: I saw that having 2 samsung monitors on DP connection to GPU can cause system to freeze (I know one of my 34" is LG, but figured it was worth a try)
  • My GPU only has DP connections
• SSD Health in good condition
• Formatted SSD, then did fresh win 11 install
• Cinebench 2024 results:
  • CPU (single Core): 136
  • CPU (multi core) : 1179
  • GPU: Not available
  • About: from app
    • CINEBENCH 2024.1.0 (Build Unknown)
    • Cinema 4D & BodyPaint 3D
• BIOS: on F31
  • I initially had BIOS F32b but flashed to F31 since it wasnt beta
• Moved PSU cord to plug directly into surge protector
  • It used to be plugged into a surge protector that was connected to the surge protector above
• Did not turn of EXPO because it worked great with EXPO on for a few days

How old is the PSU in your build and what did it power throughout it's tenure?

Formatted SSD, then did fresh win 11 install
Where did you source the installer for the OS? Did you install the OS in offline mode? As for the install, did you manually install all drivers relevant to the platform in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

I initially had BIOS F32b but flashed to F31 since it wasnt beta
Did you clear the CMOS after verifying your BIOS was successfully flashed to the version stated above?

Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4
Using Crucial's Storage Executive app, have you seen if the drive is pending any firmware updates?

By crash, do you mean the system reboots? Do you get any BSoD's? If the latter, then please pass on .dmp files.
