An update for anyone who finds this thread in the future - sent my CPU back to AMD who apparently agreed it was faulty and have sent me a replacement.

So I have now tested both m.2 drives independently, and also tested a separate GPU. No improvement. New motherboard, new PSU, GPU is fine, drives are fine, tested both RAM sticks. So either both of my RAM sticks are having the same issue, or this is a CPU issue - I think?

Just tested now - exact same issue regardless of which RAM stick is installed. I have a spare GPU in this machine I can test to rule that out. I have 2 x m.2 drives in the problem machine that I can probably test one at a time to rule those out. I might have a spare CPU cooler to test...

Well, new PSU and still the same issue. No idea what to try now.

Thanks, I've found this and I'm testing now. Edit. Unfortunately, no change. Is this specifically called Turbo Boost? I've got a big 'Game Boost' button in the BIOS that has always been off, and digging through the menus I've found a 'Precision Boost'.

Well I swapped out the motherboard and still having the same issues. I guess I swap the PSU next.

Done all this already (Apart from physically stripping the machine) Event viewer is showing WHEA errors which seems to indicate the motherboard. Had someone on the microsoft forums check the WHEA dump and they reckon the CPU or MB is on it's way too. Next step is to actually tear the PC...

Completely wiped and formatted with no improvement. I'm currently trying Windows 11 to rule out the recent Windows 10 update issues. Edit. Windows 11 no luck either

I'm currently running a RM1000x, so I guess that could be on it's way out. That said I've started having BSODs - volmgr.sys failures - which I don't think is PSU related. I posted my minidump on the microsoft forum and someone went through it and said that the volume manager driver was...

If I run with XMP disabled then my RAM gets shunted down to 2400mhz - I can test this if it matters? Both this machine and the previous one (no common components) ran like dirt without XMP enabled. Same exact issues with XMP disabled. I've not tested each stick individually but I ran memtest...

Had a look into this as I'm still having issues. My board apparently doesn't have an option for LLC. My DRAM voltage is already at 1.37 - I never changed this myself.

I'm suddenly getting something in the event log: WHEA-Logger A fatal hardware error has occurred. Reported by component: Processor Core Error Source: Machine Check Exception Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error Processor APIC ID: 3

This machine has run for a year with no issues so seems a bit odd that I would be having a voltage issue now? If a reformat doesn't help i'll give it a go. I've still not seen an actual BSOD - either the machine hard-resets, or freezes up completely.

Unfortunately this hasn't worked. I tried it exactly as given in the article/microsoft page at first, then a tweaked version as there appears to be a duplicated slash. Reading more into it I'm not sure this is related as everyone else suffering from the BSODs caused by the update are getting...

Oh man I guess this is a good thing - that was the day I got back from my trip and updated everything so hopefully that's all it is. If so you're a lifesaver pal. At least I hope this is right? Looks like that is causing systems to boot directly into BSOD, and the workarounds are just to get a...

Will do, it just now completely froze up with no warning as I was sitting here watching TV. The machine was still actually on and the fans running etc, just completely unresponsive to input. Would seem to suggest it's not (purely) a PSU issue.

Specs: 5900x MSI x570 Tomahawk 32GB TG8P Edition Nvidia 3080TI Corsair RMx1000 Issue: Initially freezing completely at random (no response at all to any input), while machine was idle. Had to kill power and reboot. Happened maybe 4 times over a week. Since then randomly cutting to black and...

It's Microsoft Flight Sim he wants to play. I know so little about these games I just assumed it was the same thing.

A friend of mine wants help building a PC specifically for Flight Sim X. The use case of this PC will be exclusively light work (Email, Excel) and Flight Sim X - no other games, video editing etc. He has already bought a Samsung G9, which is an ultrawide curved 5120 x 1440 monitor specifically...

I'd like someone to take a look at this, but I'm pretty sure my Arctic Liquid Freezer ii 360 has been packaged with the wrong screws. I'm referencing Arctic's manual, link https://support.arctic.de/en/lf2-360r4 Image of the screws I have https://imgur.com/a/5zMOE2j This is for AM4, so...
