Yeah I thought so, thanks so much for confirming

To be fair this isn’t first hand experience, my sister said she smelt electrical burning from my room (yet I couldn’t). Anyway I’m still taking concern to it considering I just OCed my newish 2070 super I installed on the 26th of may. I just manually OCed it last night after figuring out I can get a better overclock doing it manually rather than using OC scanner. Temps are fine too at about 75 degrees average while under load. Any problems or is it just the “new GPU smell”? Any help is appreciated Cheers

What the title says, computer is running fine one second then the next it randomly turns black and restarts. I’ve read all over the internet, replaced my power supply and done everything I could find but still nothing, any help would be appreciated cheers

Yeah so I dropped the manual overclock and it doesn’t seem to crash when I’m using it. If I leave my PC on to install games it does seem to still crash, just very later on. So I guess it’s fixed? I’ll have to wait and see cheers for all your help mate, really appreciate it

The PSU is about 8 or 9 months old and it’s been running perfectly fine with the same setup for all that time, just a week or two ago it started. I dropped the power settings down in windows and it made it so it crashes less often, so I suppose there’s that.

Forgot to mention my system specs too: ryzen 5 2600x oced to 4Ghz asus prime b450 plus gtx 1070 32gb ram Corsair TX750M (750 watts) h115i platinum AIO (it’s overkill I know)

I’ve been trying to solve this issue for a while now with no success. I’ve looked everywhere for information. The PC will randomly just black screen for a couple seconds then go to the post screen. I suspect this is a power supply issue as when I go into event viewer, it says it was a kernel power (ID 41) error. However I’ve also noticed that there’s another kernel processor power error too (ID 55) which looks like it’s to do with the CPU. Anyone know how to fix this. Even bad news like I need to replace a part is good, it’s just really annoying and I want it gone. cheers

Found this when snooping around event viewer, consistent with when the PC restarts too. Do you know what a kernel power error is?

I had a day where the PC didn’t restart at all and I thought it was fixed until it restarted again the day after. It’s really inconsistent and random, and I can’t remember exactly when the issue started happening.

Sorry I’m dead inconsistent with replies, but no I didn’t use memtest, should I?

I also ran a full memory test in windows and there were no errors, so memory isn’t the issue.

Well I just found out dropping PBO keeps the voltage incredibly high with no OC, and before the CPU was running at 4GHz Manuel overclock at a much lower voltage and it still crashed and restarted. So I’m beginning to suspect it’s another component

Sorry mate only just saw this then, I’ll drop the OC now and see tomorrow if it restarts

So I got this issue completely out of the blue and was wondering what the hell was going on. It started not too long ago and im desperate to know what the issue is. After some research I found it’s usually hardware related, and after doing some digging in ryzen master, I found my CPUs EDC power thing was at pretty much 95-100% the entire time even at idle (ryzen 5 2600x running at about 4.1 GHz). I have a 750 watt gold rated psu from Corsair and I thought that was enough for my system and it seemed like it was because for like 6 months it’s been running like a charm. Thermals don’t seem to be the issue either. I’m just confused as to what it could be and appreciate any help, even if it’s bad news I’d appreciate the news. Full system specs: R5 2600x running at 4.1GHz (automatic OC thing) Asus prime B450 plus GTX 1070 OCed Tx750m from Corsair 32GB RAM running at 3000MHz H115i platinum AIO (I know a tad overkill) Cheers
