  1. I don’t know, really. If you’re buying on Amazon, you could try Camel Camel Camel. It shows prices of articles over time.
  2. I had a similar problem and I was able to solve it, by changing the PSU.
  3. Today my new PSU (Be Quiet Straight Power 750W Platinum) arrived and I’ve already installed it. After a few tests, I think the problem is solved. However, in OCCT GPU test, I noticed some fluctuation in gpu temperature (and voltage), between 70 and 75°C. Is that a normal behaviour? You can see what I mean in the picture linked below (violet line on the upper-right corner of the shot).
  4. Thanks, I was considering the X570 Aorus Elite, because on Amazon, here in Italy, it is sold at 275 euros. Would that be a good price?
  5. Thank you all! Today I bought a new PSU (Be Quiet Straight Power 11 750W Platinum; I hope it to be a good choice). I hope to solve the problem this way. Otherwise I’ll try to upgrade my mobo. As a matter of fact, I was already planning an upgrade to Ryzen, so I decided to change psu first, in order to avoid potential damage to the new board and cpu (if my power supply was faulty). What do you think about an X570 Aorus Elite with a Ryzen 7 3700X? Which one, between 3700X and 3800X, is a better choice? Is it worth waiting for Ryzen 4000 (if the mobo wasn’t the problem) or going with Intel 10th?
  6. Thank you, I remember that, a few times, something strange happened. My pc would start (leds on), but I didn’t get any image on the monitor. I’ve always had to clear CMOS to solve that problem. Could that be linked to this new problem?
  7. Hi everyone, I'm experiencing weird random reboots, while playing games on my desktop PC. I don't get any error message/BSOD; it's like if I pressed the power button. It happens after a few minutes or after much more time, depending on the game. For example, in X-Plane 11.50beta (which uses Vulkan API) I'm not able to play more than 10 minutes. It's also important to note that, with the previous version (which uses OpenCL), I was able to play for double the time, before rebooting. However, in other games, like STEEP, I can play for much more time, without experiencing those weird reboots. Just another example: I can play The Division for like 20 minutes, before rebooting. My PC components are: mobo ASRock H170 Pro4 with the latest UEFI CPU Intel Core i5-6600 (Cooled with Noctua NH-U9B SE2) RAM 16 GB Corsair Vengeance 3000 MHz +8 GB Kingston HyperX 2133 MHz (but both running at 2133 MHz) GPU AMD Radeon R9 380X 4GB ASUS Strix OC (factory overclock at 1030 MHz) (latest WHQL drivers) PSU Corsair CX-750M (grey label) Drives: 240 GB Crucial SATA SSD 1 TB WD Blue HDD 256 GB Samsung 960 EVO NVME 5.25" Optical Drive 5.25" MICRO SD/SD etc. reader Case Aerocool 800 with 2 fan on the front and 1 on the rear edit: pcie wifi card I've tried different stress tests and benchmarks, trying to reproduce those reboots and check the hardware. 3D Mark Time Spy (2 times in a row); no problems Memtest86; no problems PassMark Burn-In; no problems Unigine Heaven (20 minutes); no problems OCCT PSU test (30 minutes); no problems OCCT CPU stress-test; no problems OCCT GPU stress-test; reboots after some time, at shaders level 3, and reboots instantly on higher shaders level Suspecting PSU problems, I reseated all the cables and dusted off the internals. I've also checked ATX and PCI-e (under load) voltages, using a multimeter, but everything seemed perfect. I've checked the temperatures under load but everything seemed, again, normal. In fact, CPU temp was below 65°C and GPU temp was below 76°C, under 100% load. I've also replaced the thermal paste on CPU and GPU. Furthermore, I've measured the temperature of the power supply exhaust, measuring about 42°C/44°C, under heavy load. I'm suspecting that the culprit may be the GPU or the PSU. I hope you could help me solve this problem, thank you.
