problem with my Ryzen build?

[kentcheung92]

Hello guys.
I have built a Ryzen rig 2 days ago and somehow it freezes from 1-5 seconds from time to time. Sometimes it is when i'm starting up with windows, sometimes it is when I am playing games (csgo, lol). And sometimes my mouse stutters and skips.

Here is my build:

CPU: Ryzen R5 1600
GPU: ASUS GeForce Expedition GTX 1050Ti OC Edition 4GB GDDR5
MB: MSI B350M Mortar
RAM: G. Skill Aegis Gaming 16gb (2x8gb) 3000MHz cl16, (I used XMP profile and its at 2933MHz)
HDD: WD Blue 1 TB
SSD: Samsung PM961 Polaris 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe 3.0x4
Antec Neoeco II Series 450W

- I have updated all the drivers, AND flashed the newest BIOS too.
- I used MSI afterburner to monitor when playing games and the CPU/GPU are at optimal temperature and not at 100%, constantly getting 200-300 fps, but somehow I still get sudden freezes.

Can someone please help? The sudden freezes are VERY annoying.
Could it be the rams? or a faulty windows 10?

I would try running memtest first, make sure your ram is stable at that speed, I know it should be, but its also dependant on the memory controller in the CPU, its a great build you have there and I cant fault it at all, failing that, id re-install Windows from a clean slate, with pure stock settings, even on the ram, at 2133mhz, dont use the media creation tool, download the stand alone Windows 10 ISO and use rufus to create the bootable usb key, also before booting off the USB key to re-install windows, make sure you disconnect your mechanical hard drive, even if you just unplug the sata cable from the motherboard.

hey man thanks for the reply! I ran memtest86 for an hour and it passed 1 without an error. pretty sure its not the ram problem now.
will try a clean reinstall of windows.
