    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    Awesome. I'll wait until I'm in a particularly boring meeting and call them I think! In the mean time, I'll have a play with the RAM and let you guys know. Are there any other experiments you'd like me to run? I really want to help contribute back into the forum a little, since you guys were...

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    Evening everyone! No crashes in 72 hours of constant uptime, and regular use. I think we can consider this stable!! I won't have time this evening to mess about with RAM and frequency settings but I'll be sure to do it at some point this week and get back to you. Big thanks to everyone for...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC

    Hi! Congrats on the PC. Open Windows Update and keep checking for updates to install until there’s nothing else. Use device manager to look for any driver updates for your various components. GPU, CPU, RAM etc. I ran a performance test on my computer to make sure it was functioning as...

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    I know I'm being a bit difficult but I'm going to hold off until tomorrow evening. That will make it 72 hours (or close enough) and eliminate any doubt. Will update tomorrow evening and, all being well, I'll reinstall the 2 sticks and change the frequency in the BIOS to 3533 rather than 3600 and...

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    I suppose I should say that we don't know if it has been mitigated. PC has been crash free for 36 hours though, which is a good sign, but don't want to get ahead of myself. It can't be a coincidence that error logs stop coming through when we drop down to 2 RAM sticks. That would be so strange!

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    Is this because of the increments for AMD Processors? I read that on another forum when I was doing research around this issue. If this does stabilize, I'd be more than happy to help you guys investigate. Gotta be a community player, right :)

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    Hi Ubuysa! I've added a cloud link to download two CSV exports. One shows the critical level events (which will give you a timeline of when the reboots have happened) and another shows the error level events. One piece of information I should include is that I installed Aura when I first got...

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    Quick update! No crashes so far, although the intermittent nature means the problem might not be solved. Will keep monitoring. One notable difference is that with 4xRAM, there was a steady stream of error events in Event Viewer - at least one an hour, often more frequent. Since moving to two...

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    I would be happy with stable. I'm a software engineer by trade (although you'd never know it from my lack of hardware skills!!!) and I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of a thousand bug reports. Thanks for the help, we'll see if the 2 sticks solution keeps me ticking over until...

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    I'm gonna pick this mid day tomorrow - I have to work early. I really appreciate the time you've put into the thread. I'm going to leave my PC running for the next 72 hours to see if I can get this WHEA Logger error / associated reboot to happen. Big thanks to Jamie & Spyder for their patience!

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    Nothing just yet Jamie but the issue was very intermittent so can't say for sure that the issue is fixed.

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    Really sorry to be the slow guy in a quick room, but I don't know what CMOs or DIMMS are. Here's what I've done: Taken out two of the 8GB RAM Chips (Are they DIMMS? - Edit: Used the magic of google to answer my own question), so now A2 and B2 have 8GB in them. What is resetting a CMOS? How...

    PCSPECIALIST Freeze and Reboot Issue - AMD 5900x - 4 x 8GB Corsair 3600MHz RAM

    Same as others have reported. I've been experiencing random reboots. I can see critical events in event viewer. Event ID = 41, Source = Kernel-Power. When I look for Error events that line up, I can see this: A fatal hardware error has occurred. Reported by component: Processor Core Error...

    Hi there! Thank you for all the help - I just have another quick Q, sorry to nag!! The Nvidia RTX 3070 that you recommended. From what I can see, that's gonna be comfortable running most games at 1440p - am I right in making that assumption?

    Sorry! I just have one more Q that I totally missed. I see you selected liquid cooling. Liquid cooling freaks me out. Does Liquid cooling need additional maintenance over fan cooling? Is there anything I should be aware of there?
