    Game Freezing

    Hello, I seriously cant figure this out so please help and bare with me.

    Ive been having a freezing issue but only for bigger games like Rainbow6Seige, Sea of Thieves, destiny 2 ect. When i play games like rocket league, Mx bikes, sons of the forest ect ive never came across freezing issues. Basically what happens is, after anywhere from 3-8 hours of playing, my game freezes completely and i cant exit out if the game unless i bring up task manager and click end task on whatever game im playing. More often then not it freezes anywhere from 5-8 hrs but i have had a few time where it freezes sooner. After i end task my pc acts as if it’s completely fine, no issues whatsoever. I pull up the game again and itll freeze again anywhere from 3-8 hrs. I know freezing can happen for a million reasons so heres what ive tried already, sfc scan, memory scan, virus scan with Kaspersky, disk scan, updated drivers, updated windows, updated BIOS, updated my cpu with AMD, deleted temp files, disabled unwanted background apps, changed my system property to run on performance, ive ran a stress test and ive taken off the glass panel.

    For some insight i have a high end PC and ive only had it for 6-7 months. The system is not overclocked and i have the fans set to automatic after running a test on best optimal fan speeds.
    My specs include,
    Hyte y60 case
    All 4 sticks of G skill Trident Z DDR5 running at 6400mhz with a total of 64gb eqch stick holding 16gb
    Samsung 970 evo plus ssd holding 2tb
    Ryzen 9 7950X 16 core cpu
    ASUS ROG Strix X670E-A motherboard
    Gigabyte geforce rtx 4070ti aero graphics card
    4 lian li 120mm fans and 4 140mm fans
    Lian li 360mm liquid cpu cooler
    Corsair RM1000X power supple

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The RAM is not appropriate for your CPU, AMD state here up to 5200MHz and if you have XMP enabled the RAM will get auto OCd past what the CPU can handle and at some point the PC fall over.

    Go into the BIOS, disable XMP and then manually set the RAM to run at 5200MHz and the voltage to 1.35V.

    Save the new settings, exit the BIOS, restart and test by using the computer as you normally would.

    You should also make sure that the Windows Power Plan is set to Balanced and not High Performance or Ryzen Balanced., , Ultra and High Performance are a form of overclocking that is known to cause stability and overheating issues, the setting should only be used for gaming type notebooks that have a discrete GPU that needs the extra power.

    Something to keep in mind for the future, a CPU must be compatible with a MB whereas the RAM has to be compatible with both the CPU and the MB, this because a MB can be compatible with faster CPUs and MB manufacturers often state RAM speeds that far exceed what any CPU the board can handle.
