I've been dealing with some frustrating audio glitches that happen just before my PC unexpectedly restarts—no BSOD or any warning. Sometimes it just freezes completely and fails to post, occasionally triggering a DRAM light or a CPU light. After finding bent pins while reseating the CPU on my old motherboard, I replaced it, but the issues persist. I then got new RAM, yet the problems seem even worse, with the computer freezing almost immediately upon startup. Is it possible that my CPU is at fault? Here are my specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x, Motherboard: B650 Aorus Elite Ax ICE, RAM: T-Force 2x16GB DDR5 6000 CL30.

I totally get where you’re coming from; restarts can be super annoying, especially when there aren't any logs to go by. There are tools that analyze your system logs and info that could shed light on the issue. Plus, if you've already swapped out the motherboard and RAM, it’s worth thinking that your CPU might indeed be having problems. I’d be cautious, especially considering your experience with the integrated GPU not performing well. Are there any noticeable patterns, like specific actions that lead to these freezes?
It sounds like a frustrating situation! First off, you should check for minidump files if you can manage to boot into Windows normally or even in Safe Mode. These files can provide insights into crashes when the system blue screens (BSOD). Head to C:WindowsMinidump and see if you have any dump files—those can help diagnose what's going wrong. You might need to zip them and upload them for deeper analysis really, as multiple files provide better insight. If you need help with how to find or upload those, just let me know!
