Question What's causing random freezing ?

[Bobby_555]

I’m experiencing random freezes while playing games which last around 1-2 seconds, it doesn’t matter what video settings I’ve selected I’ll still experience them at least once a game for example in valorant.

My specs are:
rtx 3060
ryzen 5 3600
2133mhz ram
230w cooler master

I have a feeling it’s my ram being behind the standard but I’m not sure, any help with this problem would be appreciated.

What is the exact make and model of your PSU? And yes, your RAM speed is not optimal for a Ryzen, generally 3200MHz-3600MHz is the sweet spot.

550w PSU bronze rated cooler master ( don't know why I put 230) also I've checked the ram speed for the two sticks and they should be 3000 MHz but are on 2133 mhz

also just checked the Bios version/date and its 2019 so im going to try and update it now to fix it

Can you run Home - UserBenchmark and post a link to your result. If your RAM is advertised for running at 3000MHz, you can enable the XMP profile in the BIOS.

I've set the speed to 3000 mhz now, I'll send another benchmark to see the difference

Some issues.

As mentioned ram speed......enable xmp.

Your OS disk is too/too full.....house cleaning time.

If your drivers are as far behind as the bios might be worth a look.

NVidia drivers are updated, windows also.

As Bob.B said, your boot drive is too full, this can really affect performance.

Just freed up 80GB, I'll check if it makes a difference

cool, let us know

I played a couple of matches in the game in which the problem was prominent the most(valorant), and the 1/2 second freezing is gone, even on the highest settings. I still experience 0.2-second micro stutters when I might spray or buy a gun, (from 0 to 2 times a game) but nothing which hampers the gameplay enough for me to see it as a problem. I'm pretty sure what would fix that is me changing the game to 1080 p from 1440, also I haven't updated my bios from f50 to the newest version because I'm not sure if it is necessary, if it isn't thanks for the help with my problem, I appreciate it alot
