PC freezes after minutes, but will be stable when underclocked?
My system (system specs are up to date as well):
Windows 10 22H2 (Build 19045.3693)
Ryzen 9 5950X
Gigabyte X570 Gaming X, BIOS F38f, Sep 21, 2023 (latest as of today)
(All other parts have been replaced)
At first it was a freeze now and then. Then it suddenly became worse, now it freezes within minutes after startup. I have replaced everything except the CPU and motherboard. [EDIT: There are no BSOD, just the screen at the time of freeze]
I then tried AMD Ryzen Master and typed in 3000 for the frequency where it used to say 3400. Now it has been running for two weeks without issues. The included picture show my changes in Ryzen Master.
But I would like to regain the original speed of the system. What would be the clever way of doing that. Some kind of overclocking? And is it possible to deduct the source of the instability to CPU or motherboard?
