Damn! Just out of curiosity, which PSU do you have?




I have tried Thermaltake TR2 600-Watt ATX and BFG GX-550 with AsRock AB350 Pro4.

I think the issue might still be partly due to the PSUs in that case. The TR2 is listed in the worst possible tier in LTT's PSU tier list:

Tier 7 - Worst

  • Cooler Master - Elite series
  • EVGA - 400W non-80 PLUS certified
  • FSP - Hexa
  • Thermaltake - TR2
  • These are all crap
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

The BFG GX on the other hand is a bit of a question mark. It didn't appear on the PSU tier lists I could find and I came accross a comment that BFG would have gone out of business a few years ago. Although the GX-450 had performed decently in one review, apparently it has different internals that the 550. I only came accross one review on the 550, but while it received three stars, the review itself was more or less just a few lines of text (ie. not worth much). Overall, I think it might be worth trying to get your hands on a PSU that appears high on the PSU tier lists.

You all know "Power Supply Idle Control" is only regarding the C6 State, right?

It could feel weird since I don't know if I'd be able to practice what I preach. ;)

Quote PH, noticed you returned earlier last week. How's things? OK I hope.


Better than okay, thanks for asking. :) I've just been keeping busy, which is why there's less time to hang out on the forum(s). This combined with the fact that I'm satisfied with my system working well on a mild(ish) OC also means that I have less (relevant) advice to give to my fellow Ryzen users, so for the most part I've just been checking random threads now and then.

The PSU I am using is the EVGA Supernova 650 G2 which its supposed to be compatible with Haswell.
Froze again after 6 hrs of doing nothing...
I am purchasing an ASUS mobo... but will wait to see if ASRock comes through for us.

The EVGA G2 should also be a quality unit overall. Hmph, no easy explanation there. I did a quick scan of the posts on this thread and it seems that those that have had trouble have been using a six- or eight-core Ryzen with this motherboard. However, searching online did reveal at least a few cases where even a Ryzen 3 would freeze up from time to time.

Possible tests/solutions I came across:

-Take the motherboard out of the case and set in on the motherboard box. This should reveal if its a grounding issue. Note: Running the system on a cardboard box might be a fire hazard, so not sure how safe this is...

-Set the CPU voltage manually to a reasonable value. The auto setting can be quite "liberal" with the voltages.

-Check if the freezes coincide with Windows updates loading in the background.

-Check Windows event logs in general for anything fishy.

Hey guys
Changing PSI value was really not a solution. While being a bit more stable it's still freezing on my config.

Doesn't work for me

Occurs even without internet connection

I'm so frustrated that I think about giving up my build until B450 chipsets release. The biggest problem is that I bought my mobo in other country so I can't easily return it.
