Morning folks,
I built my system about 6months ago now and it’s been running perfectly, however this morning it behaved very strangely. I was doing some general work tasks (office, pdfs etc. nothing particularly tasking) and noticed that it wasn’t quite as snappy as normal...even loading a webpage was slow.
To test my theory that it was running slower than before I did a run in cinebench r20 to find my score was about a third of what it should have been. Investigating a bit more with HWInfo I found that the clocks were not going above approx. 1.6...? Temperatures were all fine, sitting around 40 deg C.
I restarted the PC and clocks were back to boosting to 4.2 but I was now getting some strange artefacts appearing. Another restart later and it seemed to be resolved but I updated my graphics drivers to the latest anyway and all seems okay now.
Any thoughts on what might have been the cause? It’s a Ryzen 5 3600 on a B550 motherboard with PBO enabled.
Cheers, S
