ROG Dark Hero VIII random freezes at idle is back

Hello,

with my Dark Hero mainboard the random freezes are suddenly (!) back and they are quite frequent now. This has been discussed in the past and the solution was to disable C States. I did that and still have these setting in the BIOS. But now, the problem ist back again. Does anybody have or had the same issue?

I checked everything that has been discussed in previous posts, but nothing helped.

 

Asus Dark Hero, Ryzen 5900x, Windows 11

i had this and turned out to be dying SSD.. Run test on then to see if they are damaged..

Write test shows everything in fine. The freezes are only in idle(spotify, youtube),  never when playing games.

remove XPM from ram let run at default. Use you computer for a week, sleep. games, etc.. could be ram.. ram can degrade and posable that cant tolerate XPM overlocking coursing it to freeze. 

Also when it freezes look at the motherboard error code and dose the light on the DRAM stay on.

Motherboard does not show any Error code. XMP ist not available. Only DOCP. Deactivating does not change anything. 

I also changed drivers and tried different MB Firmwares

the only thing i can think is the motherboard phase control is not working properly, the motherboard is turning off power phases to CPU at idle or in standby and are not power up properly causing the CPU the crash.
