I switched out motherboards from a z490 to z590 and the problem hasn't occured since. it's been over a week now and it's working fine

let me know if your clean windows install works

memory tests were done and new memory was installed not too long. also a fresh windows install has been done before the last piece was installed. so new pieces, then new windows install, and then new ram and new PSU and it's still restarting.

Just upgraded PSU to 1300W and it restarted again

Motherboard is Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Master I ran Diablo again to test and it's running fine with XMP off but should I still opt to getting the 1300W PSU so I can turn on XMP and won't have this problem again? update, played more and it just restarted again.

the XMP profile is active, i'll turn that off for now. No other overclock settings are turned on anymore. They were for the 3080 before this but not now. I was thinking of getting a 1300W PSU to see if that will help.

I have a 1000W PSU bc I thought the same that it wasn't enough when I had 850 so I upgraded to be safe and that didn't change anything. Also, temps are all fine, nothing is too hot. I monitor it on second screen when playing games. i9-11900K 3090ti EVGA 1000W Corsair PSU 2 sticks of 16gb RAM 4 SSDs, 2 at 500gb, 2 at 1Tb Kraken CPU Cooler

Custom PC restarts after playing a game and sometimes will restart to windows but sometimes just will stay on but screens turn off and it takes a long time to restart. I've upgraded every piece in the last year to try and fix the problem and when going from a 3080 to 3090ti the problem was almost fully gone and then months later it came back. I then upgraded ram and that was the last piece that wasn't new and it probably only happens around once or twice a week during Valorant for around 3-5 hrs every other day. Now playing Diablo IV the PC will restart every play thru. I did the same dungeon 3 times for it to restart before the end. I don't know what else to do. Motherboard doesn't give me an error code, just stays at AO. No onscreen errors. Nothing.

I recently attached a NZXT G12 to my 2080 and connected a vga to pwm connector to be able to control and monitor the fan on the radiator for the GPU and NZXT's CAM software reports that the GPU fan speed is going from 800 to 1600 to 1200 to 2000 RPM in a matter of seconds but that's not true because I would be able to hear the difference in fan speeds if it were to actually go up to 2000 RPM. I've deleted a different software that was interfering with the fan control and just using Cam software for the CPU fan control, BIOS for the rest of the fans and then Aorus Engine for the GPU fan control because it is a Gigabyte card. I've set it to auto and that seems to make it silent and not fluctuate as much but setting it to manual to just 50% makes it flucate faster and louder and then setting a custom curve does the same. Note, while controlling the fan speed of the CPU through CAM, it does say that "Another program is attempting to communicate with your device" and it says it's NZXT CAM.exe and it said it twice and then I deleted the other program and now it still says it once but there are no other programs running that control fan speeds besides the ones listed.

I've done that already and i've put the curves to only go up to 70% max and it still goes passed that

they all ramp up but the GPU fans ramp up the loudest and fastest when it occurs

The PC is only a year old. Ever since around November now all games during a lot of action, the fans rev up to 100% for a few seconds and then back down and then back up. I didn't do anything different on the day that started to happen. I had more than one GPU overclock program installed at once and those were conflicting with fan speeds and having only one made the fans rev up less but didn't eliminate the problem entirely. I've set the fan curves in the BIOS, and in the GPU overclock program. The fans still rev up while playing most games. The GPU usage isn't at max when this happens either. There is 3 fans along the front of the case and one on top. All the specs are listed below. I've even set the fans to be manually at 70% in the GPU overclock program (Aorus Engine) and they still go up higher. i7 - 9700K (Liquid cooled) Gigabyte 2080 32gb RAM
