[SOLVED] Problem with Ryzen 7 5800X, freezes during startup ?

Hello, I have a problem with Ryzen 7 5800X.

Trying to load Windows 11 from Kingston stick. It shows the first few frames and then freezes. Sometimes it renders full blue screen, but most of the times it freezes after filling a couple of rows with blue.

I am suspecting this is an issue with my CPU, since I’ve already had this problem 3 years ago after I bought it. But then it only froze/restarted when I did something intensive on my PC, and this was fixed with mingling with voltage. I was thinking at first that it just overheats, because right after going into BIOS it shows 45-50C CPU temperature, but I guess this is normal for Ryzen.

Performed MEMTEST, no issues found.

Help please!

UPDATE: So, I increased voltage to 1.375, now blue screen renders consistently. Increased to 1.4 and now Windows loads into the first installation screens, and some stuff works even. However, it still crashes. Any idea what is correct voltage in this case?

Where did you source the installer for the OS?

If you suspect the CPU being the root of the issue, maybe try and drop in another known working processor onto the board and see if the issue crops up again.

Your processor doesn't have an iGPU, how are you getting display out from your build? I'm assuming the PSU is 3 years old?
