Thanks for the responses,
I'll try looking into the QVL for the motherboard and see if the ram is the issue..
as for the motherboard not being able to sustain that amount of power,being pretty new to comp building, I just used pcpartpicker, and assumed it would all be okay just using their compatibility check.. was I wrong to use this?
Everything works smoothly on this computer even when gaming it runs perfectly, no problems at all with the exception of the freeze issue, until I fix that by increasing the dram voltage.. so I don't really understand.
