PC Freeze due to CPU downclock I suspect

Hello

So after many years I decided to reformat my PC. I had around 1.5 TB of junk on it so I thought that the time has come. So said and done I reinstalled it. Now after the reinstall I have experienced random freezes. Nothing is responding, not the mouse, not the keyboard, the clock on the PC even stops.

BUT I remember I had this same issue a few years ago with this PC but I managed to fix it. But I just can't remember how I did it. Then I read a thread on this forum and all of a sudden the CPU came to mind. As this usually just happens when I don't put my PC through some for of stress like a video game I remembered this had something to do with my CPU downclocking. I think that this is a feature of the asus motherboard somehow. The problem with my ASUS motherboard is that it doesn't check wether or not my CPU is unlocked. It is not, I have a Core i7 3770. But I'm not 100% sure that this is the problem, I think so.

Any help on how to prevent the downclock of my CPU? Thanks!

Alright so just after this post I have found something that probably is atleast related to my issue. With this motherboard(ASUS P8Z77-V LX) the ASUS AI Suite is downloadable from their website. So I downloaded it thinking that it could be nice to have. Now I noticed that with this tool comes several other tools that actually changes the clock speed and voltages of my CPU. All of which are now disabled. For anyone reading this I have disabled these: TurboV Evo(V1.01.44), EPU(V1.03.23), Probe II(V1.00.51), DIGI+ VRM(V1.01.18).

But if anyone knows any other software that changes the clock speeds of my GPU please feel free to tell me so that I can check. I will report back if I have more freezes.
