Random Freezing Even Without OC

[Dazkey69]

And back to the memory even if you don't OC/XMP. When I have memory issues and the defaults on it are set via XMP the three things I generally have to contend with to stabilize memory when I OC it are: speed (I generally run it around 3200 any speeds higher can be tricky to stabilize and the benefits are marginally imho, you have 2666 so you should be good here, I also buy faster memory than I run it at, at default your memory should be running slower than 2666, I believe it will run at 2133), VCCSA voltage, and VCCIO voltage. So those are some things you might want to look at.

One other question is the RAM you purchased in the officially supported RAM list? I always get my memory based on that list and do not deviate from it.

It seems that the consensus here is to tweak the settings of my memory as well as my voltages. I've run it at both 2400 (non XMP), 2666 (XMP), and 3000 (XMP). All the same results, but perhaps the default settings (voltage, timing, etc) the memory profile sets may need tweaking.

Not sure 2133 was an option, but I'll look next time I'm in the BIOS.

The RAM purchased does seem to be on the list.

Once you set XMP on you can just change the clock speed to 2133 or 2400 whatever it defaulted to w/no changes in the BIOS originally. But your rated speed is 2666 which is what we were asking you to run it at which is XMP on.

It sort of sounds like a machine gun it will repeat a sound over and over something like this , System Agent Voltage (VCCSA) normally helps, have you also tried running your ram at rated speeds?

Yep, the freeze sounds just like that Youtube video.

And yes, I tried running the RAM at the rated speed (2400). I did that and set processor speed to 2.6Ghz (no OC).

It will depend on your CPUs IMC if its weak some times manual tuning is needed, also 8 stick of 128GB memory of high capacity is a large amount, rated speed is 2666Mhz for the 7980XE but you could try downclocking to see if it helps, if all else fails try running 4 sticks for awhile see if the issue goes away then you'll be able to work from there.

Okay. Sounds like a plan. I'll try that and see what happens.

Thanks!

I'll try this as well. Hopefully this will make the system a bit more stable.

Thanks!
