Question Windows 11, AMD 7900X, stuttering, freezing problems.

I built my new ring last month. Until last week it has been working flawlessly.

Occasionally and as far as I can tell only after the first boot , for some reason the screen slows down, buttons don't respond to mouse clicks but they respond to keyboard and I can hardly close all the windows and restart the computer. And after the restart it works for hours without a problem.

Streaming from Netflix isn't fluid. Once it freezed with a white screen once and there was no way to restart the computer so I had to reset the system.

I was using the drivers -Chipset and IGPU- from the Asus Armor Crate app, yesterday I downloaded the latest drivers from the AMD's site. It seems better with Netflix but screen slow downs repeated even after that.
I don't see any problem in Task Bar. No crashed app or any app that uses all CPU resources.
Only problem that maybe related I see on Event Viewer is
"Metadata staging failed, result=0x80070490 for container " Event ID 131.

Any idea what the problem may be?

This is my system and its not overclocked.

AMD 7900X
Asus ROG Strix B650E F (latest stable bios)
Kingston 5200Mhz, 16gb x2 ram.
Windows 11 with all the latest updates.

Try a different version. It took me several versions before settling on one that works. I run Linux though and no issues. I added a GPU for Plex stuff but, the igpu should suffice. Though I had some issues with that where the screen wouldn't initialize as expected.

last week Asus Armor Crete app downloaded and installed a new graphics driver and then Windows Store downloaded and isntalled another gpu driver. The problem started around that time. Guess it must be related.

I have a similar issue in Windows where one update will pull older drivers and then the other will pull the la6est ones. I would disable the AAC in the bios and uninstall it in windows to prevent the system from swapping / DL drivers repeatedly.

Grab the OEM driver and then run DDU to purge everything and then reboot to install the OEM / AMD driver.
