Ryzen 7 2700x freezing due to core voltage.

i have been having some issues with this for about a month or so, after googling non-stop i came over a temporary solution. which was to limit my core voltage manually via my bios. This worked for a few weeks but it has recently started occurring again, and this time i tried setting the voltage to Auto in my BIOS and then i changed it back but i found that it froze my system more. Any advice would be appreciated.

My specs:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory.
          G.Skill NT Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2133 Memory.
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk ATX AM4
PSU: Corsair Builder 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX

You have mixed sticks of RAM which will be causing your issues.  

You cannot mix RAM like that.  

They need to be identical sticks from the same manufacturer.  

Try removing 2 of the sticks and having just 2 identical ones.  

You will need to read your manual to see which slots just 2 go into but it's usually A1 & B1 or A2 & B2.  

Also check your RAM is listed on your motherboard's QVL to ensure full compatibility.  

Your CPU is also held back by the RAM speed. 

You want at least 3000 MHZ.
