Full specs:
i7-8700k
Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi
ASRock Z370 Extreme4
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 CMU16GX4M2C3200C16
ASUS RX470 Strix 4GB
Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 850
Crucial MX300 525GB SSD
I just assembled this build, and everything seems to be in order.
Windows boots fine, and everything runs fine in windows.
However, any game I play will randomly freeze within 10 minutes, and will require a hard reboot.
I've tried disabling XMP, running at lower VCCIO and VCCSA as suggested, but no success. I've also run it at 2133 with the same results.
The screen gives no error, only the last image and a buzzing sound that doesn't stop.
I've done windows 10 memory diagnostics, memtest86, and I'm getting no errors.
I've also tried resetting only one ram stick, add tried both sticks independently with same freezing result.
I'm running HW monitor and it shows nothing over 55, so I don't think it's heat.
I've taken the GPU out and used it in another computer and it seems to still work.
If anyone has any hints I'm appreciate it.
Thanks

" rel="nofollow - Hi,
Did you update the BIOS to the latest version?
If no then you can give it a try:

Yes 1.3
I swapped out the GPU to a 1060 from my other computer, and it ribs perfectly, even with RAM xmp 1 at 3200.
Funny thing is that the 470 works still in the other computer

Try swapping out the Mx300 SSD. Worked for me
