    Hey all After swapping around some more parts and messing with Windows settings I decided to disable XMP. The PC has not lost power since... So that is were my problem was. Should have tried that sooner but hey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It has always worked for about 2 years with XMP enabled so I'm not sure why it causes the power loss suddenly. Anyway I'll try and manually overclock the memory in the near future. Thanks for the help everyone.

    Thanks for the reply, but what do you mean by "remove all components and put them in a paper box"? Maybe it was not translated correctly, is there any other way you can phrase this part? Appreciate the help!
  3. CaptainTimba
    I'll try to eliminate the components one by one then. It's going to take a while since sometimes it takes a week for one crash, and the next time it might happen 3 times in a day. I'll also give the stress test a shot, but usually it happens when i'm just watching a video or the pc is idle. So not sure if I can force it to crash that way. Thanks for the tips and I'll post the results when I'm done testing.

    I tried all the things below and the crash still happens. - Log the power from the wall outlet with a Fluke 123 Scope meter. Power is fine. - Installed another new PSU. - Reseated everything. - Monitored temps etc.. with HWInfo. - Disabled the HID Headset driver which kept corrupting and blocked it from updating in group policy using the hardware ID's. - Completely reïnstalled Windows. - Disabled C-state of the CPU. Most of these things gave warnings in the eventlog. The only one I can't figure out is "Disk 3 has been surprise removed". Happens occasionally. Not sure if it has anything to do with the crashes. At this point I don't know what else I can do. Attached is an eventlogger file. The Kernel Power 41 critical error is when the pc crashes. Another random thing I noticed is that it usually happens after gaming for a while, and when I shut the game down and just watch a youtube video after is when it tends to crash? Any help is greatly appreciated. crash.evtx

    Alright I'll swap out the PSU and try it out for some time. Thanks!

    Hey everyone Recently I decided to give my PC a small update and got a new case and PSU. A Lian Li O11 Dynamic and MSI MPG A750GF, also added a couple of fans. Since then (about a month) my pc has lost power completely twice. Once while playing Forza Horizon 5 and once when playing Youtube video's. Screen turns black, the fans stop spinning. Looks like complete power loss? Then within a second the PSU "clicks" (same click as when I turn it on) and the pc starts up again. Could this be a faulty PSU or should I look elsewhere? The pc ran fine with an old 650W Corsair PSU before. Only overclock I have is XMP which was also on before. Drivers and BIOS are all up to date. OS Windows 10 64 bit. Full specs below Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X with the included cooler MOBO: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600 Storage: 120GB Samsung 850 EVO, 1TB Toshiba drive, 2TB WD Black WD2003FZEX GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce PSU: MSI MPG A750 GF Fans: 6x 120mm Arctic P12 and a 140mm Corsair fan. Thanks in advance!

    It also happens when I'm just sitting still in my chair, just moving the mouse and typing. My desk is made out of wood and the chair is leather. I don't really know if i'm able to build a charge on that? Can a static charge effect the monitors without touching, or going close to them?

    I'll try and find some other HDMI cables for the BENQ, but it has been using that cable since when I bought it. For the AOC I only have the DP cable that came with it. Ill try and use it on something else to see if that works.

    No, I have tiles everywhere in my house.

    Hello I recently bought a new AOC CQ27G2U/BK monitor, to use as main monitor next to my BENQ RL RL2455HM. Since I installed the monitor I occasionally have a screen going black for a second, and then the image returns. For the first few days this happened to the main AOC monitor. I figured it was maybe caused by a driver issue or g-sync issue of some sort. After updating the drivers and disabling g-sync the random blackscreen still returned. I also tried un/replugging the cables. This did not make any difference either. After the first few days however, now the random black screen occurs on the BENQ monitor? I haven't changed any settings since, so i'm not sure whats causing it. Before using the AOC monitor (using just the BENQ) I never had any issues. Full system specs below: CASE: Corsair Graphite 230T (2 stock intake fans, 1 stock rear exhaust and 1 extra top exhaust) SSD: 120GB Samsung 850 EVO HDD: 1000GB Toshiba 7200RPM + Western Digital Black WD2003FZEX 2TB PSU: Corsair VS Series VS650 MOBO: MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX RAM: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Windforce OC MONITORS: AOC CQ27G2U/BK (main) & BENQ RL RL2455HM (second) Is there anything I can do to resolve this or what could be causing this issue? Thanks in advance! (If necessary I can upload a video of what the black screen looks like, I managed to capture it with my phone but it's a crappy video)

    I updated the chipset to the most recent version of AMD's website and gave the Ryzen Balanced performance plan a go. In game my temperatures are about the same. The idle temperature however goes up significantly, to around 50°C - 60°C steady and even spiking to 67°C This is just running HWinfo and moving my mouse around on the desktop with 2% CPU usage. Needles to say I put it back on the Windows Balanced performanced. The Windows plan seems to let the cpu hover from 1.0V to 1.2V idle, and in game from 1.2V to 1.4V Whereas the Ryzen plan jumps from 1.0V to 1.4V at any moment. Could this maybe be why it heats up so much? I'm yet to try putting it manually to 1.2V, does doing this have any downsides?
  12. CaptainTimba
    Thanks for the reply. If updating the chipset won't help I'll see if this works. Still have some school work to do first so might take me a while to get back with the results.

    I just looked into installing/uninstalling the chipset drivers but can't really find a clear explanation. I have never done this before. Can't find how to properly uninstall the chipset driver. I found the chipset drivers for the B450 on AMD's and MSI's website, which should I use?
  14. CaptainTimba
    Thanks for the reply. I'll give increasing the intake fan rpm a shot. I don't have Ryzen powerplans available as an option, is there a tool I need to install for this?
  15. CaptainTimba
    Thanks for the reply. I read the temperatures using HWinfo. If replacing the thermal paste won't help that much ill just leave it stock. Might consider changing the cooler in the future then, since it is pretty loud at 100%.
