Hi,
I've got a PC with the following specs:
MB:
Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi (latest BIOS updates installed)
CPU:
AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D
RAM:
64GB Kinston FURY Beast (KF560C30BBEK2)
GPU:
Asus TUF RTX 3080 Ti
OS:
Windows 11 25H2 (the issue is the same running Ubuntu as well, so it's not an OS issue)
The issue:
If I start my PC and does something with it (surfing, watching youtube, playing games (mostly Battlefield 6, MSFS 2024 or ARC Raiders) everything works juuuust fine. I get the expected performance and everything is fine and dandy. However if I leave it for a bit (very random, can be 5 minutes or 12 hours, mostly in the minutes range however) the entire PC freezes up. The screen is still on and I can see which minute it hung by looking at the clock in the taskbar that has stopped at that same minute as the hang happened.
There are no errors in the event log or anything indicating that the whole thing went down the drain, it simply just hangs and the only way to get out of it is to hit the reset button or power cycle the machine.
I don't think this has anything to do with Windows (I'm running Windows 11 25H2) since I tried installing Ubuntu on a SSD I had around and it had the exact same symptoms.
The one thing that puzzled me a bit was that I disabled Global C-States in the BIOS after reading someone who recommended that in these kinds of situations and if I do that, then SOMETIMES when it hangs I'm able to move the mouse around and I'm able to click on the start menu in Windows, but as soon as I try to start a program or anything like that it just hangs. The clock in the taskbar however remains frozen in time in every case.
This error hasn't been there since day 1, I've had the hardware for ~6 months now and this started about 2 months ago, but for the first 4 months everything worked just fine.
Anyone else that has experienced this and have any clues as to what can be causing this?
