Hi, I have the below rig, First time using AMD CPU. 5600X - Bought 3 months ago with the board - was on intel GB Aorus Elite X570 GB Aorus Master 6800XT - 7 months old XPG Core Reactor 850w Gold - Top Tier Rated - 1 year old 2 M.2 Kingston A2000 Everything was working fine until I bought new RAM 1 month ago - Kingston Fury Beat 3733mhz 4x8, my PC started to re-boot randomly once in a day and sometimes 2 days. When I checked the board QVL my RAMs weren't listed so I thought this might be the case, On intel never had such issues with RAM, Im running the ram at XMP1 which is 3600mhz, only tweaked CL from C18 to C16 @1.4v - Today, I changed the voltage to 1.37v I ran multiple stress tests using OCCT, Aida64, windows memtest, and other general test like 3D Mark stability test, R20, R23 for hours with no issues. everything is up to date. Regards, Khader

Hi! My computer craches / reboots sometimes when im playing games. Some days i can play for hours without any problems, and other times it happes when the game is about to start. For exampel i was playing assassins creed valhalla without any problems, and today when i start it the computer reboots immediately after i have launched the game and press continue. Does anyone have any suggestions? Im running i7-11700K MSI MEG Z490 ACE Corsair iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT MSI GeForce RTX 3070 SUPRIM X Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4 3200MHz 16GB Cooler Master G750M PSU

This is gonna be a long post, but please bear with me. I have been having some pretty annoying issues the past 4 months. It started around July when I would get some BSOD after a while under 3D load, BSOD appeared and disappeared so fast so I didn't know the code at the time. This wasn't frequent at the time so I ignored it for a while. It wasn't until I started to play a game after taking a break from gaming for 2 months since April that I was experiencing constant black screens and some reboots. I tried reseating everything but nothing work, except only when I remove the GPU power cables and replugged them back in. It would be stable for a while that would even last for days. At the time I thought that was the issue, faulty cables or it wasn't plugged in properly so I pretty much had no issue again after a while. August, I was having similar issues again, BSOD after a while and black screens/reboots during 3D Load. I was pretty annoyed at this point and I kept reseating everything. What seems to be a semi-consistent fix was the PSU cables, removing and replugging them back to the GPU seems to do the work for a while that can last for a few days or weeks. I say semi-consistent because sometimes it's not just the GPU cables I had to remove/replug, but also the 24-pin motherboard cable as well. So September and October same issues and at this point I'm pretty much done. I'm planning to take this PC to a friend's house next month to test parts, switch PSUs/GPUs, etc. I'm posting here wondering if anyone else can help me before I do and try to buy the necessary part to switch out here. Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-8700k back to stock clocks (was planning to upgrade this Dec) Motherboard: Z370Maximus X Hero RAM: 4x8GB Crucial Ballistix RGB White 3600mhz (prev. 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro White) GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra PSU: Corsair RM850x Gold 2015 So a few things to note here: System is fine on idle and somewhat light 3D loads. Can do some editing, and light gaming. BSOD usually only happens somewhat randomly whenever there's 3D GPU load, very rarely on GPU Memory intensive load. Usually after a while when I think the system is stable and I'm running a non-benchmark. Black screens/reboots usually only happens when the issue is present again. When a BSOD happens, I would think the issue is back. I would run benchmark/games to check it, system will crash and black screen almost instantaneously, ranging from 0 secs to a few secs. Barely any BSOD will happen whenever I do benches/games. I have a second monitor plugged to the iGPU, it would just freeze the screen and not go black screen, so if the main display crashes I can monitor any temps that was probably captured the moment it crashed. So far I haven't seen anything abnormal with the temps both GPU and CPU or any of the VRM. A semi-consistent "dirty fix" I discovered was replugging in the PSU cables from the PSU itself or from the motherboard/GPU, sorta like to restart the entire power cycle I think(?). Sometimes I just need to remove the 24-pin motherboard cable, sometimes just the GPU cables, sometimes both. It will work for a while and will actually be stable on all benchmarks even after a day I did it. Was using custom extension cables before, I thought that was the issue since removing it and going full stock somewhat fixed it temporarily, but I think that's just 'cause of the above fix^. Yes I have all 3 separate PCIE cables for the GPU. Why I think it's more of an issue with 3D load than VRAM load is because I tested for both whenever I have the issue before doing my dirty fix. 3D load tests would just black screen/reboot the system, VRAM intensive tests would actually run fine for hours. If this was an issue regarding power consumption, then even at VRAM intensive tests which shows nearly similar power consumption to my 3D load tests it should be exhibiting the same issues, yet it doesn't and is more stable. Tested CPU using Aida64 and OCCT, both came out fine for hours, no BSOD, black screens, etc. Did these benchmarks multiple times for the past few months to be sure. Tested per RAM stick on each slot at a time with OCCT, MemTest86, and MemTest65, also no issues similar multiple tests like the CPU. Can fully rule out RAM as I've already switched RAM kits to a higher capacity. Reset bios, CMOS multiple times, removed any OCs and XMP profiles. Undervolted and PL'd GPU. Something to note here is at the lowest Power Limit, 3D load seems to be able to last for a while. It will be odd however if it's an issue with pulling that power since it can pull more power during VRAM intensive tests at stock setting. Reinstalled GPU drivers using DDU. Latest motherboard bios. One time I tested without the GPU and just the iGPU. There was the time I was not even able to go past the log-in screen, system would just BSOD(forgot the error code, maybe it was Whea_Uncorrectable as well). Did it multiple times during that time, and rebooted the system that same day to make sure it wasn't fluke. Still BSOD and not past the log-in screen. Made me rule out the GPU. I tried to replicate this again after a month, and it didn't come back. Will retry to replicate this again sometime later before I reformat and reisntall the OS. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO MINIDUMPS MADE IN ALL THOSE BSODS. Things I have not done yet: Reinstall OS. Will do this Friday after work. Reapply thermal paste on CPU. Test with another PSU/GPU, will do this next month ASAP once I get free time. My issue here is the inconsistency of the problem to appear. Like I said the "dirty fix" works almost always and will be stable for a while. If I were to test different parts, I don't think I can exactly pinpoint the problem hardware easy, since I'd still be removing the PSU cables. That means I'd have to wait possibly days to see if the issue will disappear with each part. I don't think I can do that, but I'll try. There might be a few things more I forgot to mention here. I'll edit this back once I remember. Some things I think what's the issue: Motherboard. Probably not delivering consistent voltage/power. Ok scenario, harder to replace than PSU but planning to upgrade CPU/motherboard anyways. PSU. Possibly the same but can PSU also cause BSODs? Maybe bad PSU cables? Best-case scenario as it is easily replaceable. GPU. There's just something wrong I don't know. Doesn't explain the last part regarding the iGPU though. Worst-case scenario. I can definitely still RMA this but the expense to send it back to EVGA is gonna be expensive since I'm not from USA. I have had plans to buy a new PSU for a while since RMX 2015 is quite large, planning to get a smaller one. Also upgrading CPU/Motherboard to 5900x/b550 this December. I just wanted to know first which I would prioritize spending at the moment if any of them were causing the issues I'd just hold back any upgrades or new purchases for now. If it is the GPU, I'd prioritize that first because it'll cost some money to actually send back to RMA and back here. I really appreciate any help.

Hi, I am having an issue with my PC rebooting while playing more graphicaly demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, Grounded or recently Kena - Bridge of Spirits. This can happen randomly e.g. after an hour or two. However when I play Genshin Impact for hours - nothing happens... Most of the time the PC reboots but sometimes the screen freezes and I have to press the reset button. I have reinstalled Windows 10 and also replaced the PSU - but this didn't help. I have noticed that VGA led on my motherboard lights up red and stays on till I switch my PC off. This happens almost everytime with rare cases when it switches off after initial checks while booting. Is it possible that 2400 RAM is an issue? or is it more likely motherboard or GPU (I've read there are some quality issues with some of the cards...) I have attached logs from HWiNFO64 and Open Hardware Monitor - just before the crash - unfortunately I don't see any indication what is the problem. The temperatures look good to me. Setup: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus B550 Pro (V2) GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 ULTRA (got it through Verified Gamer program!) RAM: 4x8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White 2400MHz PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-750 Cooling: be quiet! Dark Rock 4 Case: Phanteks P400A ARGB Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone, So as of I think Sunday night (3 days ago) my computer which I recently updated to Windows 11 has been randomly restarting itself. The weird thing is this isn't very consistent. I played a lot of Slay the Spire while watching a youtube vid on chrome and everything was fine, but I can't even get into the game on Cyberpunk, Deep Rock Galactic, or into the lobby in Arma 3 (which is, of course, heavily modded because who doesn't mod Arma 3, love ya vanilla peeps). I have a Ryzen 7 3700x that is NOT overclocked, so my main question is does anyone know if 11 is having problems with AMD Processors again? Is there maybe a patch in the dev branch that has fixed things? I've done a bit of fooling around in the registry and such already. The computer is on the AMD high performance power plan so it's not the PCIe-power shutoff thing. I've run the chkdsk on all drives (initially thought it might just be a problem with my other 2 drives) and sfc /scannow and everything seems fine, but I can dump the results in here to double-check after work if it'd help. There was a storm the day before but it was fine a few hours after it when I was doing some online D&D, but maybe something got fried there? Anything ya'll can think of? I do still have my Windows 10 install disk so in case I just need to roll back it won't be a problem, but up until now I've actually been enjoying Windows 11 for the most part. (edit) Oh to add on it restarts with no warning, and every now and then it seems to break itself to where it has to try to restart multiple times, with the auto repair being characteristically unhelpful.

New build (10 days old): Ryzen9 5900X + Noctua NH-D15S on a ASUS Rog B550-F Gaming Wifi Mobo, 32 GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600 Mhz Trident Z RGB, 1 TB PCIex4 SSD + 4 TB WD HD Sata, ASUS TUF RX 6800XT GPU. No overclock, beside A-XMP for memory and PBO on default in Bios, all that in a Phanteks P400a case (3 fans on the front as intake, 1 fan on rear panel as exhaust). As I said in a previous post, I am experiencing high temps with that build, but it seems to be more or less the norm with those components. edit: As per Haraikomono very good comment, PSU is Fractal Design Ion+ 860W 80+ Patinum. What worries me more is that when gaming, I sometimes experience random reboots: no BSOD, just a few "clicks" in my headphones and a simple reboot. Happens once or twice per day max, sometimes after 2-3 hours of gaming, sometimes sooner. For the last two days, Event manager has been reporting a chain of three WHEA-Logger Event-ID 18 when that happens (before those two last days, I could not find anything in Event manager, even when the reboots were happening). When the machine reboots, the RX 6800XT seems to be "off line": even if I unplug and replug the display port and hdmi cables on my GPU to my monitors, no signal is getting to the monitors. I have to restart the PC manually a second time (by pressing the power-on switch 8 seconds) before the GPU sends signal to the monitors again... As I am still in the warranty period for all my components, I am trying to understand what is happening with this machine: faulty GPU ? faulty CPU ?

I am having these weird reboots while playing games. Sometimes I can play for hours without any issue arising. Sometimes i get BSODS,but these are very very very infrequent. I have an old system, which I was gonna change but then this pandemic happened and the price of components just skyrocketed. So coming to the point, when the system reboots without any warning and boots backup, my keyboard and mouse become absolutely worthless. They don't work at all(both of them are usb). I change ports i change keyboards and mouse, nothing changes. I have to shut down system directly from my Cabinet's power button. I thought it was maybe some faulty ram (Corsair valueselect 16gb 1600mhz) that is causing these issues so i removed 2x4gb stick and tested them, then i put the 2x4gb sticks, still happened. Is it motherboard( Gigabyte ga-78lmt-s2pv), or my PSU(Cooler Master MWE 650 Bronze V2 230v, 80 Plus Bronze Certified, Non-Modular Power Supply) is the culprit. I am completely stumped. any input is appreciated.

Recently (as of today) my computer started black screening every couple of seconds and I would see horizontal tears before it would go black. I checked all connections made sure everything was plugged in and the problem continued, so I pulled out an HDMI cable and everything works fine. Obviously I don't want to use an HDMI so I tried different display ports and the problem got worse to the point where the computer would black screen and come back on about 20 times over a 5 minute period and would eventually blackscreen for good and reboot completely on its own. I took the cable to my brothers house and tested it on his pc and everything worked fine. So I came to the conclusion that the display port on the monitor was broken. I really don't want to buy a new monitor so just seeing if there might be any other options. I reinstalled graphics drivers and reset pc to monitor link with winkey+shift+crtl+B My specs: Ryzen 5 5600x Asus tuf gaming 6800xt Asus tuf gaming x570 plus G.skill trident z 2x16 3600 cl18 NZXT C850m gold

Hello guys, I'm new in here. I'm having this problem about one month ago, where if I put my PC under load it shuts down and restarts, rust game was my main test, Everytime I opened the game my computer rebooted when trying to play. I tested everything, software is discarded since I ended up formating my OS drive and installing a fresh windows 10. Then I tested ram with memtest and one by one, nothing wrong there, then tested graphics card swapping my rx 5500 XT with my old gt 1030 (lol), and it lasted longer but eventually the problem occured again. So it must be my PSU, but it's new, I bought it 4 months ago, it's a gigabyte P550B. But then... I found something really odd, this PSU has 2 sata power cables with 3 connectors each, I had all 3 on one cable, idk why but I tried connecting my 2 drives and fans on the other sata power cable and when I launched rust to test, it didn't reboot and it let me play the game normally. But problem wasn't solved, when playing other games PC lasted 30 minutes without reboots, now lasts around 2 hours. Is this a known PSU problem? Can I fix it or I should buy a new power supply? Please help. Sorry if my english is bad.

Recently, I decided I wanted to switch form factors from ATX to mini-itx with a small upgrade of storage and RAM. Just a few days ago I finally got all the parts needed and assembled the computer using mostly older parts from my previous system. I am sometimes able to boot into Windows for a short amount of time, but after a few keystokes the system will reboot and stay on but not display anything. This same issues happens with I am in the BIOS. The temps of my components seem to be fine. Along with this I have gotten numerous blue screens all of which had different stop codes( I will post a picture of a more recent example). After the blue screen "restarts" the system will start the restart but it never comes back to a bios or windows login screen. I have tried clearing CMOS, unplugging certain hard drives, Tried using each stick of ram individually. Tried using my old RAM which didn't even post the system. I would try to flash the newest version of the BIOS in but, I'm worried about the system restarting in the middle of the update and it being even more so in the mud. PS: Sorry for the crappy photos and cable management, I just need my system to work before I go back to uni on Monday. Any help I can get would be amazing... I'm sure its just some dumb issues but I can't seem to figure this one out. Also Happy New Years! UPDATE: I have narrowed it down to the motherboard being the main source of the issue, but still can't seem to figure out why. 1/1/2020 Case: NZXT H210. MotherBoard: Aorus B450 I Pro Wifi.

Hi, My system crashes and reboots whenever I try starting a game. I have tried every game I have and the only game that sometimes starts up is DOOM and Doom Eternal. FFXIV is really bad and crashes as soon as I hit play. I have used the G9 monitor without problems since May running it at max settings , but I wanted to add a second monitor. As soon as I added the second monitor it started to crash. When I disconnect everything it works fine again. I can use both screens just fine as long as I don't start a game. I have tried a few different monitors, reinstalled the GPU driver , switched to different HDMI / DP-cables, tried new PSU cables. Checked the power draw up to the crash moment but it don't even jump over idle on the PSU before it crashes ( iCue 144W + - some on idle) . Also tried with G-sync on and off, different resolutions and Hz. I tried running my PSU in Single rail config too with no luck. Is my 2080ti just too weak or is something else going on ? I deleted the event log and did a few more tries, these screenshots are the only error I get.

First Self Built PC Randomly Restarts While Gaming and Streaming I built my first PC about 7 months ago. It runs great while doing pretty much anything. However, it randomly restarts during gaming/streaming sessions. I am unable to recreate the issue and force a restart no matter what stress tests I run. There is no warning, no BSODs, no memory dump files. I am at a loss as to what it could be. Troubleshooting I have done: Adjusted power plan settings ensured all drivers are up to date ensured NVIDIA drivers are up to date updated to latest BIOS ensured there was no over heating while running prime 95/furmark/heaven load testers by watching the Temps with HWinfo. checked the voltages with HWinfo for the 12v 5v and 3v rails. All seemed to be within acceptable tolerances. ran memtest86 and intel's memory diagnostic tool on all sticks of ram for a full day (did test of all 4 in, then each stick by itself, then in pairs, then all 4 again) had some errors I believe when I had XMP at 3200. removed XMP profile and did not have any errors after that. ran the sfc scannow and dism commands in cmd. no issues were found. tried clean install of windows 10. still restarting randomly tried clean upgrade to winows 11. still restarting randomly. tried DDU of all graphics drivers and fresh install of nvidia drivers. still restarting. disabled auto restart (still restarts without warning, no BSODs, no error codes) enabled memory dump files (tried mini dumps, full memory dumps, and another type I cant remember. No matter what there is never a dump file) reviewed event viewer and I have a kernel power event 41 just stating the computer shut down unexpectedly at a certain time and an event 56 application popup with ACPI 2 issue.

One bios update to the latest bios was in a perpetual black screen after a full 24 hours so I had to power it down manually. PC booted right up after that and said I had the newest bios. I reflashed the bios to the newest one again just to make sure there was not a corrupted bios, but the random restarts continued.)

I already had the 24 pin in the tester and I saw other people on youtube plugging in and unplugging cables while the PSU was turned on, but when I did, I heard a sizzle and the PSU wont start anymore. I already had the PSU disconnected from everything in the system so nothing else was fried. I don't know why I was unable to do what I saw so many other people doing.

Things I am thinking about. My motherboard has reports of over powering the CPU. My CPU is known for being power hungry and drawing high watts. Maybe I need to under-volt/under-clock my CPU. Maybe a bad motherboard. I am hoping someone can maybe shed some light on something I am missing. Maybe a known issue with my hardware combination that I missed or am unable to find. Maybe something about the CPU / Motherboard nuances I do not know about. Again, this is my first build and I am new to this trouble shooting stuff, but I am going crazy trying to figure this out. I cannot recreate the restarts and I am getting really frustrated with this! I will update this post when I get the new PSU and see how it runs from there. Thanks everyone! Sorry for the long post.

Recently built a pc with the Ryzen 7 7700X 8 core and Corsair Dominator DDR5 5200 with a Gigabyte B650 Aero G AM5. After I built it, there was an issue with the computer restarting after booting and opening programs. I realized that the RAM is too fast for the CPU so went into bios to notch it down a bit. This has worked for the most part and I'm not having as much issue with this. But it tends to get mighty loud and the memory clock jumps to 10501 MHz, especially when I open a game or something that stresses it. It also puts the gpu over 90% utilization and the fans are not spinning. I downloaded GeForce Experience and the driver is up to date, I'm just not sure what to do about the memory clock jumping so high, even when I'm not running a program. I'm also having an issue where the sound will work for a while and then just stops completely until I switch it to my other screen and then it goes out and I switch it back. Anyone have an idea of what I can do?

PC just shuts down and then reboots a few mins into playing any game. This problem only started happening in the past few months and never happened before. I suspect that its either the graphics card or psu has gone bad. Also it might be a coincidence but almost always the PC shuts off everytime the gpu reaches 60 degrees which shouldn't happen. Please help this is getting very frustrating now. video: https://youtu.be/8u4rLqDzLj0 specs: CPU: i5 3570 GPU: HD 7870 GHz Edition RAM: 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 1866MHz (1x) Motherboard: ASUS P8H61-I LX R2.0 PSU: Aerocool Integrator 500W

Video of the problem Hey all. So little background on the issue. Basically I built this PC 2-3 weeks ago, didnt have any issues except when installing windows 10. I had to sideload the wifi driver to stop it from not starting up all the way. (Found that solution online). Once I had windows 10, all was great since then. About a few days ago, I was live streaming some Diablo 3, when all of a sudden my pc reset maybe, 1 hr 30 minutes into the stream? Tried it again 2 more times, and it reset during stream again, so I tried playing some diablo 3 without streaming and it reset again. So I turned it off, and decided to go to bed. Fast forward to the next day, I played some more diablo 3 but didnt stream too see if the issue would happen, it didnt. (Yay) went to bed that night, went to work the next day. Got home and fired up some Borderlands 3 to play the new DLC 2. Played through the DLC fine without any issues. Farmed some gear, then realized that there was an increased legendary drop rate in MALIWAN Takedwon mode so I thought eh why not farm that for some new 57 gear. Ends in a few days. Had a few runs of that, then we started another and the game froze about 30 seconds into the run, pc didnt reset because on my 2nd monitor I had music playing, and I could see the time still counting down for the number of minutes and seconds left on the current song, so I opened up task manager and closed BL3, reopened it and all was fine for next few hours. Went to bed, and the following day I decided to stream some BL3. (This is now last night where the nightmare begain). Fired it up, went on a different character and farmed a boss from level 53 to 57 while streaming, all was fine. Decided to matchmake for some Takedown, and the game starts crashing. Immediately to desktop, it showed the box that asked if I wanted to submit a crash report so I did. This happened 3 more times almost immediately after loading into the game. So i said screw it, I'm resetting windows. I had an initial feeling that armory crate was causing the reboots of the pc the first go around because that was the ONLY thing that showed an update in event viewer. So decided to redo windows. And since I dont use armory crate I ticked it off in bios so it wouldn't download and install it when I got to the desktop of windows 10. Well now I've got the windows 10 wiped, but I cant install windows 10. No matter what I try, the PC resets during loading, which I basically explain in the video. So sorry for the run on, I just wanted to make sure I could give every possible detail that I can think of. Part list will be down below, I just built this thing 2-3 weeks ago, and it just upsets me a bit since I did spend alot of money on this rig, so again I'm sorry for the run on of details. Just wanted to make sure I stated everything I could remember. Part list Mobo- Asus X570 Tuf Gaming Plus (WIFI) RAM- Trident Z Neo 16 gb kit. (Yes its compatible with ryxen 3900x) if anyone needs the link to the ram, I can provide the link after. Currently on my phone now since I dont have a desktop at the moment PSU- Corsair RMX 850 GPU- carried over from my old rig GTX EVGA 1070 TI Hybrid SC (roughly 2 years old. Also tried my moms GTX 760 maybe I had a faulty gpu, but same issue comes from it) CPU- Ryzen 3900x CPU cooler- Corsair H115i Platinum If I forgot anything please ask, I will list it asap! I am going to be calling best buy today at noon when they open in about 20 minutes to see if I can bring them my PC Friday, perhaps they can determine which part is faulty and is causing this. I posted this because maybe you people will have more knowledge than myself, so I could potentially try anything else until I take my PC to best buy friday. Thanks everyone in advanced. Edit: This post was also posted on reddit, trying to find all of the help I can get. Not sure what to test anymore since I don't really have any other parts I can test with this setup. Also I can't go to best buy due to COVID-19, I did not even think of that, or realize they aren't allowing customers into there store. I am just so upset over this, im not really thinking clearly I guess. I don't think I can RMA whichever part is faulty either, they were all bought back in Febuary ish because I bought parts over time. I am leaning towards the MOBO or PSU as being the issue, I can't really see it being the CPU, I JUST took it out to inspect it, all pins look fine to what I can see. Temps are fine, 36 ish C in bios, and temps were fine as well when my PC was working. 55 ish while gaming in games like Diablo 3, Borderlands 3 & SWTOR. Thanks IA everyone.

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.

Hello, i'm really stressed out because my w10 laptop reboots many times daily without any input on my part, sometimes it will reboot after a bit of inactivity and other times it will reboot even in the middle of doing work. The computer doesn't do an emergency shutdown but instead jumps directly to the grey metro interface restart "loading" screen of w10. I have tracked the cause using the event monitor to the executable "lpksetup.exe". Paraphrasing from spanish: In the event monitor windows registries application menu there are always System-Restore shadowcopies being made 1-2min before the restart "event 8194, 8300, 8301 & 8302" of System-Restore in that order in the windows registry installation menu there is always some messages about lpksetup Restart happens at xx:10:47 Restart fails at xx:10:56 thanks to steam giving me enough time to cancel the restart in the shutdown menu asking all apps to close (it gave me enough time to select between forceful shutdown and cancel, where i choose cancel to stop the restart) There are also always mention of some windows package: Any help is much appreciated

I have been having an issue over the past weeks where my computer is randomly rebooting. It takes a while for the first reboot to occur (~30mins) and once this has happened the time that it takes to happen again reduced until the computer is in an endless loop of rebooting where it doesn't even load into Windows. It really is random, for example it will happen when in a game or when just freshly booted into the OS. There is not indication of what is causing the issue. Computer Specs: i5-4670k (stock speeds, don't kill me for the K) MSI GTX 760 (stock clock) 8GB Corsair Vengence Memory MSI Z87-G45 Corsair CX650M OS Drive - 240GB Kingston SSD; Storage Drive - WD Black HDD 1TB Windows 10 - 64bit Troubleshooting thus far: Changed for a working PSU Changed for a working GPU, and onboard graphics Changed for working memory Changed for a working install of Windows (different HDD, checking that at the same time) Throughout all of this the same issue has continued. Other things to note: Temperatures are fine Benchmark performance, as usual No changes (both hardware or software) took place to my PC before the issue has begun. Thanks for reading this and for any responses. Cheers, James

Hi guys, I have the following scenario. (This has happened more than once) I´m playing GTA V, and after maybe 15-30 min. during nothing special (e.g. driving, cutscenes, walking, shooting...anything really) my PC just cuts and reboots. NO BSOD. My RGB lights stay on. It just zaps and reboots. I have already ordered a new PSU. So that would sort that. But I´m thinking that it´s something else... What do you guys think?

It might be...There is much stuff plugged in but some website said all that stuff needs 370W. So my 650W should be fine? Pleeeeeeease help me. Oh and the CPU nor the RAM or the GPU is overclocked...because I´m a pussy. Don´t judge.

Greetings, I have been having random computer reboots on my custom built PC for a while now. The PC restarts without showing any type of blue screen or error. In the Event Viewer, the Event ID 6008 is displayed at the time of the reboot, if that is of any help. I have taken close notice on the thermals of the system and have not noticed any abnormality. I have also run various diagnostic programs such as MemTest, and have encountered no hardware issues whatsoever. Additionally, the system is plugged into a UPS, and the reboots occur whether it is plugged into it or simply plugged directly into the socket. These factors leave me to conclude that the issue is software related. Even though the reboots may occur at any moment, they are most frequent while and just after gaming, which is odd considering it is not a hardware issue at all; temps are low (45C for the CPU & 63C for the GPU, these numbers were taken while stressing both components for over an hour), and voltage is stable. When I was stressing the system it never crashed; it appears to only be triggered by actual games, any game, even Hearthstone. The system has been examined by a technician, who did not detect any hardware issues, as I suspected. I have updated the BIOS, as well as disabling XMP, and have tried all those power management tricks tha seem to work for a lot of folks, like setting the minimum processor state to 5%, and still nothing has changed, also, as far as I know of, all drivers are up to date, even though this is kind of out of my league, I have always hated drivers. The issue has plagued the PC since day 1, so I can´t seem to pinpoint the source of the problem. Minor note, I do not have Windows activated. Thank you in advance.

Recently the graphics card in my pc has been going crazy, it'll be fine while I play games or browse the web but when I watch video and sometimes while it is left idle the graphics card will freeze up before jumping back to life or rebooting. I double checked that it was rebooting by having the sound come out my monitor and the fans on my card high enough to hear, the next time it happened I could hear the sound stutter and the fans whirl down until the video resumed. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Hi guys, I have a somewhat a weird problem after changing my PSU. I already searched ton of threads regarding similar issues that people experienced but none seems to be a fix to my case what so ever, so I decided to make my own thread and provide you as many details that I can. First things first I bought this PC fully built back in 2016. Its a mid range gaming pc that was pretty good deal in terms preformance > price. And indeed it was great while it worked properly, but after somewhat 2 - 2 and a half years after purchasing I experienced auto shutdowns and restarts if I turn on some heavy load or bump up the graphics options in some of the games ( ex. Fortinte, PES 2020, even Ring of elysium the battle royale...). This never ever happened to me before as I could run the battlefield 1 on ultra without any issues or shutdowns, only somewhat higher temps obviously but all in range of safe usage. So after some online research I found that 90% of the people fixed this issue by changing their PSU, but before I did that I tried every single alternative option in hope I would not need to buy a new one, but unfortunately none of the tricks & tips from google worked. So I decided to ignore that problem and get used to running things on low - medium and render videos in 720p instead of 1080p because 1080p would crash it aswell. But few days ago I finally decided enough is enough and I will buy a new one and fix this issue once forever... ...and it didnt turned out as I planned, what happened is my PC now sometimes turns on for a minute or two, sometimes for 30 seconds but most of the time its turns on for a fraction of a second and shuts down in attempt to try to boot again but longer I allow it to do this the quicker it restarts and after 2 attempts the only thing left lighten up is my main PC tower power button...now this is very depressing, frustrating and mind buggling because it seems like I fucked up my pc totally by trying to fix it. I will now list of the things I tried to do so far ( before I quited messing with it ) List of things before I changed the PSU I checked my temps while under load GPU would hang around 65C-73C max and CPU would be around 33C- 43C ( new cooler ) 39C - 48C ( stock intel cooler ) Reinstall Windows OS ( 2x times ) Deleted all my GPU drivers with DDU and cleaned %temp% ( temporary files ) Cheched for viruses, none found Tried plug/unplug PSU cables and reseating GPU Changed thermal paste to the CPU Bought new cooler for CPU and messed a bit to get better airflow, temps are just where I want them to be now. Reseted BIOS settings to default factory settings Updated BIOS Updated all windows updates Underclocked my card, after that didnt worked I also tried to overvolt it and undervolt it, I am was basicaly desperate at this point so I tried everything that I could I tried to plug my power outlet directly to the wall PRIME 95 cpu stress test all cores max temp of 45C and it did not crash the system FURMARK gpu stress test for 1080 predefined profile PC crashed immedietly I didnt even saw anything, it crashed as soon as I clicked GO! at this point I gave up None of these worked so I gave up and got used to run things on lower load than I would prefer. ( low settings ...blabla ) Here is a list of things I tried after I changed PSU and my PC denied to boot properly Checked and plug/unplugged all the cables from the PSU Reseated Both RAM sticks and tested it with each one and in each socket Cleaned some dust leftover Messed up with cable managment but I did a good job so I didnt got to do much more Pluged and unpluged cables from PSU Reseated GPU Changed CPU thermal Paste again Managed to get to the bios once and saw that CPU rendering cool 24C idle so no its not overheaeting issue Reseted CMOS Battery, I waited 30 min before returning it back inside Reseated GPU again...lol Tried running it without GPU Turned it on with only power outlet .....I think thats about it The funny thing is when I change sockets in my extended power cord it runs for a longer time same happens if I plug it to the wall, but if I try the socket I already tried it boots for a second and resets, If I let it stay overnight and come back it runs for a much longer time. Motherboard works fine everything else works fine and is powered all the lights show on each device ( mouse, keyboard, monitor ), but it denies to boot properly. I know this is plenty of text, but I wanted to provide you guys with as much detail that I possibly could in hope I will be able to fix this problem anytime soon. Below are my PC specifications GPU: XFX AMD RX 480 8GB stock clock memory 1288mhz , vram 2000mhz CPU: intel i5 6500 four cores 3.2ghz RAM: 2x 8gb hyper X so in total I have 16gb of ram MOTHERBOARD: gigabyte ultra durable h110m HARD DRIVE: 1x Toshiba 1tb OLD PSU: EPS ENERGON 650W semi - modular NEW PSU: CORSAIR CX650W semi-modular OLD CPU COOLER: stock intel cooler NEW CPU COOLER: Cryorig h7 PC CASE: COOLER MASTER K380 MID-TOWER I dont want to make this any longer now I honestly think this is more than enough for you to come up with some ideas regarding what should I do....dayum. Thank you guys for all the efforts and suggestions, means alot :)

Hello and happy new year! I recently purchased a used RX580 and when I installed it either of these happen: -The computer boots powers up for about 1 second, lights and fans turn on and then it reboots to the same thing. Video: https://vimeo.com/309106473 -The computer turns on, black screen with no signal, lights and fans on, keyboard and mouse not powered up. Any ideas? I know one fan is jammed but could this be causing any issue? Asus ROG STRIX B360-G GAMING i5 8400 BQ pure power 10 500w Kingston hyper-x 2400

I used to have a Thermaltake psu but I changed it to an evga supernova g3 because I wanted more sata connectors for the future and ever since that my pc has been hardlocking during gaming it would just freeze and I need to hold down the power button and sometimes it would just reboot. edit: pc specs i7 6700k asus z170-a gtx 1080 strix gskill 16gb agesis ram 2tb hdd and 120gb ssd
