Hey everyone! I'm experiencing some frustrating issues with my PC freezing, and I'm hoping you can help. The freezing happens unpredictably—sometimes multiple times a day or as infrequently as every three days. During a freeze, my keyboard lights turn off while my monitors remain on, and my tower seems to keep running. This can occur whether I'm gaming or just sitting idle. Eventually, the keyboard lights come back, but reset to the default rainbow colors instead of what I originally set. I've already tried a few things, including replugging all connections, cleaning my RAM, performing a clean install of Windows, lowering the SOC voltage a bit, and reinstalling my GPU drivers. Unfortunately, I'm at a loss now and can't afford to replace parts for testing. My temperatures are all looking good too. Here's my setup:
- Ryzen 5900x
- Asus TUF 4080
- 32 GB Corsair Vengeance 3600
- 1000w Bequiet PSU
- 500GB Samsung M.2, 1TB Kingston M.2

It sounds like a frustrating problem! Have you tried disabling XMP or even lowering the RAM speed a bit? Sometimes, those mysterious issues can be linked to unstable RAM XMP profiles, especially if you're making the hardware work harder than it should. Might be worth a shot!
I already tried that too.
