I think I noticed the pattern that causes the freeze. After normal boot everything works fine. But if I ever use suspend and then resume the computer, that's when the freeze happens after a while. I suppose the motherboard firmware does something wrong in case of resume from sleep (may be memory training doesn't work, or something of the sort). I suppose I should open a bug with Asrock?

Did you disable the C6 state? Some (older) PSU can't handle the C6 state correctly.

I doubt that's related here, since this happens both with disabled and enabled C6 and Cool'n'Quiet. And my PSU is certified to handle C6 fine.

Also, the freeze doesn't happen right away after resume, but randomly, at some point after that. So it's more likely, that the motherboard doesn't initialize something properly on resume from suspend, and it eventually glitches out.

Well, scrap that. I just got a random freeze after a normal boot. But may be sleep / resume just makes it more likely.

Things that come to mind - try another PSU; run some memtest from a live Linux USB; some UEFI leftovers from a flash;

Does this happen with all left @ auto?

It did happen with another PSU. I already RMA'd CPU, motherboard and RAM (first two for different reasons, but still). It still happens :) I suspect it's a bug in Asrock UEFI when it works with this particular RAM. And it happens with auto too.

I'd wish someone from Asrock could shed some light on what it can be.

maybe some further testing to help us -help you

have you tested with the ram set at 2133 safe ?

if not please do so ,it may help us determine if the ram needs tweaking

I'm running it now with auto auto (XMP and frequency). I think my previous tests with auto didn't set XMP profile to auto as well (but just the frequency), so I just want to make sure.

Such auto setting sets RAM to 2400 MHz.

If I'll get the freeze this way, I'll try 2133 (I'll post the result here either way).
