So basically for the last month either my CPU or Motherboard (MSI B450 A PRO MAX) have been acting wierd and i have not been able to identify my issue.
From time to time my RYZEN 7 3700x will literally lock its self at a certain clock speed and will not go any higher.
Usually it would sit around 2.1 - 2.5 GHz at 1.4 volts which isnt healthy im pretty sure (in the link to my screenshot on imgur it shows 0.5 GHz tho as i didnt want to launch a game because then it would just do the same 2.1 - 2.5 GHz at 1.4 volts thing which isnt something i want to see)
and honestly i dont understand why it would do this
are my motherboard VRMs bad or is it the CPU
ive had this pc for nearly a year and the problem showed up recently
i suspect it might be the motherboards fault but im not sure
has this ever happened to anyone?
The only thing that fixes this temporarily is a system restart but then it does the same thing later on.
Screenshot of my issue
And before you comment "just restart your pc if this happens" no that isnt something i would want to do more and more as the problem gets worse over time
im also very concered about what is happening to my computer so i would rather eliminate the faulty component as soon as possible
