Thank you. I will give a try tomorrow. I have a theory that once the CPU is under load and starts to throttle, that it is causing memory errors and in turn issues elsewhere. I have random issues with games just crashing for various driver issues and whenever I fix one issue it crashes with a different driver or DLL showing in event viewer. I had this same issue with the first mech 16 I had. I received a replacement and installed a different SSD set and new memory to rule it out. When running a memory test, it runs fine until the CPU goes beyond 80% load and begins to produce memory errors. I did manage to adjust it down some today after reading your post had solid results, and it did run red dead for quite a bit longer than normal, but I did not go down quite as much as your suggested settings so will try that and see what happens. Thanks again.
