First and foremost, the PSU needs to be replaced. I concur with Phil; it is the system’s most critical part. If you were one of those engineers who look at systems as a whole, the PSU would be at the top of the pyramid.
Replace the PSU. Until the PSU is adequate, all else is superfluous. It’s the first step in getting to a nominal state.

It is the incorrect installation of Windows and lack of the correct drivers being installed to which I was referring, how it should have been done is explained in my canned info below;
Once Windows has been clean installed you must then install first the MBs chipset drivers then the storage/SATA drivers and third the graphics drivers, the drivers can either come from a disk provided by the motherboard manufacturer or downloaded from their site and saved to a flash drive etc, this is a must and Windows should not be allowed to check for updates before it has been done as more often than not Windows installs the wrong drivers or in the incorrect order and this can cause all sorts of problems.
The reason why this procedure is so important, the chipset is what enables the MB to be able to communicate with all the hardware + are the first drivers that Windows looks for on boot.

I am looking at the link you posted and I don’t see how you got the 2666MHz from so I assume it’s something I don’t understand.
The below is from the link for your CPU specs;
Memory Specifications
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) 128 GB Memory Types [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]DDR4-2666
The above is telling you that the fastest RAM that your CPU can handle is 2666MHz.
Channels #: Dual
DRAM Frequency: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]1330.1 MHz
Dual = two so 2 Xs 1330.1 = 2660.2MHz the speed at which your RAM is working and the maximum that you are going to get from the 3200MHz RAM that you have.

If you want to kill the whole rig you will ignore my advice regarding the need to replace the PSU, this ,changing the Windows Power Plan to Balanced and clean installing Windows and the system drivers in the correct order are all a must do.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Thank you. I am unfortunately broke so I can’t get another PSU for a long time sadly, but I will try your method and see if that helps. Gunna have to do a lot of backups then. Here we go again…
