Hello everyone.
I have this PC:
- MB Asus Maximus VIII Hero (Z170) 6th Gen.
-Core i5-6600K CPU
- RAM 2x8gb Gskill Ripjaws V 3200mhz.
From time to time I disassemble the PC to give it complete maintenance (1 or 2 times a year, depending on the dust it accumulates).
2 days ago I gave it its corresponding maintenance, and when I put it back together it is giving me these symptoms (Let me clarify that It did not have these symptoms before the maintenance, in fact, it was working perfectly):
- When I turn it on it does fine but the Micro gets stuck at only 800mhz. Then I turn it off and without unplugging it from the power I turn it back on and then it gets stuck at 3.5ghz.
On only 2 random occasions, the Speed Step and the Turbo manage to do their job well: vary the speed as they are supposed to do. But in most cases happens that mentioned abnormal symptom.
This is what I have done so far to try solving the problem without success:
Please. What do you think could happen? And how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
PS. Pardon my English. Not my natal language.

This is what I have done so far to try solving the problem without success:
- Check the socket pins: They are OK.
- Clean the contracts of the CPU: They are OK.
- Reposition the Micro several times in the socket.
- Reflashing the BIOS.
- Clearing BIOS's settings to default.
- Activating RAM's XMP capability.
Please. What do you think could happen? And how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
