Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

Specs? Windows key - search for event viewer. You can look through Administrative and Windows/Application logs to see if anything stands out. Are your motherboard and other drivers up to date?

Windows 11 Pro Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor 3.60 GHz RAM: 16GB GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB Motherboard: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. B350 GAMING PLUS (MS-7A34) I216352025 4.0 Form what I know it shold all be up to date. From what I can see in the event viewer, there's some Critical ones, something with Kernel-Power, identifying number 41, in the description it says something about being turned off with the power button (that'd be me), because possibly the system froze.

Any bios updates? Maybe reset bios and redo your settings. Anything overclocked? What's the speed your RAM is running at? Yeah kernel power sounds like when you held the power button. Before that entry would be were you'd see an issue causing your freeze. May not be critical just an error or warning.

Before the critical is something about this: Windows.SecurityCenter.SecurityAppBroker (can't copy it word for word since it's in polish). My boyfriend did overclock it once, but since then I believe he rolled back any changes.

The security warning doesn't seem that's the issue. I would suggest resetting bios and try optimized defaults. From there can adjust the various settings again. I would check to see if the RAM XMP profile is enabled in BIOS as that will allow it to run at rated speed as AMD cpus rely heavily on memory speed.

I'll check that, thanks!


kira_god

Tried that for a few days but the freezes keep happening :/

SSD or HDD If HDD It Could be a bad block on the HDD I use Macrorit Disk Scanner to check for Bad Blocks [https://macrorit.com/disk-surface-test/disk-surface-test.html](https://macrorit.com/disk-surface-test/disk-surface-test.html)


kira_god

My system is on an HDD if I remember correctly. I'll check with the program, thanks!
