Hello everyone, I'm having a strange problem, since I updated my BIOS a few days ago my computer is experiencing freezes during very specific conditions.
For example, when I have dota 2 alt-tabbed it will freeze randomly.
When I try to play CS:GO I can open it but after a few seconds in the main menu it just freezes.
I can play other games like GTA V without any problem, don't really have any other games to try if the same happens.
I will clarify so there's no confusion, the whole computer freezes, not just the games, I cant do anything but restart it.
The pc doesn't freeze at all during normal use, when I first started getting this problem it also caused my video driver to show as malfunctioning after restart, so I found one a few months old that stays functioning after the freezes.
PC parts:
Motherboard: Asrock a320m-hdv r4.0
CPU: Ryzen 3 3200G
RAM: x2 Crucial 4GB DDR4-2666 UDIMM CT4G4DFS8266
No dedicated GPU unfortunately.
I updated my BIOS from version 2.00 to the latest version 4.00
After searching a while I found someone saying it could be due to having the wrong RAM timings, I'm not really literate on all this stuff so I just had it on auto, but I found out my ram cas latency is 19 and extended timings are 19-19-19, but cpu-z said my cas latency is 20, but when i tried to change it in the BIOS it just doesn't work, it stays on 20 no matter what i do.
I'll leave screenshots of my cpu-z in case this timings are the problem.
Thanks in advance, any help is welcome.
PS: I haven't tried downgrading the bios to a previous one because now I'm scared it might just brick my computer I'll do it if its the only option haha.
