  1. So I've had my PSU RMA'd, they reported that it failed under load according to their tests so i'm glad it's gone, however the replacement, a new 750w bequiet psu, has not solved the issues i was facing. As i type I'm comitting to an extended stress test individually for cpu/gpu to ensure I'm covering those bases. I Upgraded to windows 11 from windows 10, in place as opposed to a fresh install, and that still faces the same issues. Will continue to update until a solution is found
  2. Okay, so I've tried with both a different cable and using 2, and that did not solve the issue. I ran memtest too, and that passed without any failures. I'm still on the fence as to what the real problem is, but it seems to trigger more when alt-tabbing or transition scenes in game, which seems to be a transient load thing imo. Not got any recorded data to back that up. Either way, I'm going to try a new PSU to see if that solves it
  3. Currently using a single cable, both the 8 and 6 pins are plugged in. I'll double check with a second cable to see if that has an effect. Yes the GPU is seated and all the plugs for the PC are seated correctly. Everything is running stock, as in, as is out of the box. The only manual change I have made is turning on XMP. I'm going to give this a try too, will report back with findings Yes, my Windows, Bios and Drivers are all up to date, the issues also occured on several older versions too that were up to date at the time. I've had this issue longer than 2 Bios Updates too, so I would like to believe we can rule that out. I'll reply to the thread once I get a chance to see if the issue is solved through a memtest or additional gpu cable (If possible, I can't remember if my PSU has a modular GPU cable)
  4. So I've been having this issue for quite a while now(Assume a year+). When playing modern demanding games, my PC will crash after roughly 20-30 mins to a black screen, my pc becomes unresponsive and the fans in my system all kick to 100%. Usually I can continue to hear the music/sound effects in game and continue to chat with friends in calls when this happens. Using the windows command to reset the graphics driver (Win+Ctrl+Shift+B) does not work. I've had MSI Afterburner open on my second monitor to measure temps while gaming, and it has never been "excessive" for example the 3070 reaches a max temp of 82/83C and stays there. The crashing only happens when gaming, putting a synthetic load on the GPU+CPU via furmark+prime95 does not trigger it and that forces temps that do not normally happen during gaming, so I do not believe it to be a temprature issue. I've had this happen across several Driver/Bios updates, and I'm currently fully up to date with everything I can think of. The only thing I have not tried is a reinstall of windows, due to my boot drive being a 1tb nvme ssd and I don't have enough capacity to backup most of the extra data on the drive. I've had a lot of issues with GPU's in the past artifacting or crashing for one reason or another, but I don't have any of that this time around. My assumption as of right now is either a fault with the GPU(because it wouldn't be me without a faulty GPU), or a fault with the PSU, as from googling the symptoms (for different setups mind) that have had the crash to black screen during gaming and this had been fixed with a new PSU. I do not have an alternative GPU/PSU to see for certain if it's one or the other. I also want to mention that BeQuiets only psu calculator tool does recommend my PSU as being capable for my setup. AMD Ryzen 5900x, Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO, Gigabyte RTX 3070 Gaming OC, 700W be quiet! PPower 11 CM, 32GB Ram, XMP 3600 (4x8GB), No Manual overclocking beyond XMP Enabled, Monitor 1: 3440x1440, Monitor 2: 2560x1080, Windows 10 Any guidance would be appreciated
  5. When you say crash, is it to windows or is it a full pc crash/blue screen?
  6. so the title says all. these are my current specs, which i am willing to change. AMD PhenomII 955 processor AMD 6790 GPU 500GB hard drive A 1280x1024 monitor So what will it be?? i will be playing games and also recording some for a friends youtube channel. what would you guys recommend?? i have a bidget of around £200 (not alot, its around $320 US)
