I have a 3090, and for the past couple of months I've been plagued with random resets on my computer. Any time I left it in a low power state for a long period of time, or just randomly when doing _literally anything_ my computer would freeze entirely, sometimes with a BSOD of WATCHDOG_ERROR (of some sort, that never panned out into helping me figure out what was wrong). Recently, it has picked up to the point where using my computer is practically impossible. Originally, I thought it was another normal driver issue, and would get fixed with an update. It never did. Afterwards, I decided to nuke windows just in case, but noticed while I was backing up off of a linux live USB, that it was _also crashing_. So my theory that windows is terrible while still possibly true, isn't actually the culprit this time. I don't think my power supply should be the issue, I have a nice 80+ gold seasonic from like 2 years ago, and even while under load it's never had an issue before. (Plus I can still do heavy loads now, just eventually it crashes). My computer runs _fine_ in safe mode and passes multiple passes of memtest86 (so I really don't think it's anything else in my system). Is there anything I can do or is this just a buy a new graphics card situation (my warranty expired 3 weeks ago)

Hello all! I recently built a new PC, and have been having stability issues regarding USBs. I'm nervous it may be a hardware/mobo issue, but wanted to troubleshoot the best I can before taking a stab at an RMA.... Build: MoBo: Asus Z-790-H (current BIOS) CPU: 13900K GPA: Asus Tuf 3090 ti OS: Windows 11 PSU: Asus ROG 1000W Issue: Every few hours, all of my USBs seem to randomly disconnect for a second. It recovers quickly, and all the devices pop back on immediately after. I had thought it was an overloaded USB controller, so bought a PCIe USB hub to spread out some of my 'heavier' devices, but made no impact. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or software compatibility issue, and honestly don't have any idea where to start looking to find the root cause. Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Happy to post error logs or whatever, as long as you tell me where to find them :D. Sidenote, I also was having issues with audio, which I tracked down to WaveLink. Doubt it's related, as the restart still happens even if I close out that program - but thought I'd share for added context. Thank you!!!

Hi, I've built a new PC about three weeks ago and have had issues with memory stability ever since. CPU: 7950X3D Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5 6000 Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI Full parts list: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/4jWRrD The errors manifest as bluescreens on windows, kernel panics and random freezes on linux, as well as crashing applications. Bluescreens usually have a "memory management" error message and most kernel panics are preceded by "bad page state" errors. These errors usually show up within about an hour of turning the system on. I also ran memtest86 lots of times with different hardware configurations, sometimes it passes, sometimes it fails seemingly at random. The errors seem to be more common with EXPO enabled but also show up with completely stock memory settings. On the other hand, yesterday I ran y-cruncher for 12 hours with EXPO enabled without any errors whereas the system usually fails after 20-60 minutes. I also tried the supposedly "easy memory timings" from this buildzoid video but that was even less stable than EXPO. I realize this came out before 7000x3d was a thing, not sure how much the recommended settings would differ for these new chips. Thinking the memory was faulty at first, I RMA'd it but the issue persisted. By now I have completely ship-of-theseus'd the whole PC, one by one replacing not just memory (same model) but CPU (same model), motherboard (ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI), PSU (Gigabyte P750GM), and SSD (Mushkin Vortex 2TB) with no different results. The only part I didn't replace is the CPU cooler but temps always looked fine btw, about 40 C at idle and 60-80 under load and it isn't an electronics component so I doubt that's the issue. The memory kit was not on the QVL of the original motherboard and vice versa, however it is on that list for the new motherboard. I'm ran the latest BIOS version from a week or so ago on each of the boards. I have essentially built a whole second computer for diagnosing this over multiple weeks. I'm completely out of ideas and humbly ask for your help.

I'm creating this for anyone else that might come across the issues I had, and the possible solution to their problems. I just built a Ryzen 7900X system with the NZXT B650E Motherboard utilizing a DDR5 32GB Corsair Vengeance kit (This kit is listed as compatible on NZXTs website). Initially it wouldn't even post. Unplugging the PSU and manually clearing the CMOS (Button on the IO Shield) allowed it to post and boot. The next issue was an almost immediate BSOD when attempting to boot into Windows 10, or while booting into a Windows 10 installation thumb drive. All devices were recognized in the BIOS, but I noticed that the default BIOS settings for ram had the voltage set to 1.1, while my kit was rated to 1.25. I bumped it to 1.3v and was able to install windows. I ran an hour long Cinebench stability test after installing all up-to-date system drivers with 0 crashes or BSOD. Given the DDR5 infancy, if you are experiencing memory stability issues for this MOBO or another while using DDR5 and are able to get the system to post and get into the BIOS, try increasing the default ram voltage, especially if the default MOBO voltage is set under your RAMs rated voltage. This is 101 troubleshooting for me as I've been building custom PCs since 2002, but I figured a quick write up might help that one lost, new to PC building, soul experiencing similar issues that can't find the solution.

So I recently got one of the VAG drop cards (ASUS Tuf Gaming RX 6800 XT OC) and I was super excited to upgrade. Everything seemed relatively fine until I tried to play some games. Games like Destiny 2, Cyberpunk, R6, and sometimes even Minecraft have intermittent and colossal stability failures sometimes crashing my games/system altogether. I have updated all my graphics drivers, updated my power supply to ensure I do not have any lacking power, and cleaned out my system's junk files. I have heard in the past that AMD GPUs can have some stability issues when compared to Nvidia, but I don't know if it should be this bad. The only thing I can think of is that I currently have a USB expansion card plugged into the other PCIE 16x slot as the other 2 smaller PCIE slots are covered by the GPU (3 slot card) and may be impacting the performance of the PCIE slot itself? Playing PCVR is usually pretty good but there are some strange artifacts on the screen from time to time as if the screen rendering was split up across dozens of small grid sections (this is not an issue with the headset but the PC) I'm at a loss for what else to do and I just wonder if there's something I can do to improve my system stability? Any help would be incredibly appreciated! Specs: Asrock B360M IB-R1 Core I5-9400F ASUS Tuf Gaming RX 6800 XT 16GB Vengeance LPX 2400 RAM

Hello, to day I am wondering when I do a strees test on my laptop on ThrottleStop it gets errors no stop if it has undervolt or no undervolt. I have a i7 10750h. What should I do?

I've had issues with my 3800x from the beginning. Nothing major, just mild instability issues: a random crash once a week, screen flickering, random slowness, and most infuriating of all, wildly fluctuating CPU temps I still, to the time of me writing this, have not gotten under control. This CPU has lasted through 3 different motherboards and CPU coolers, 4 different cases, and a GPU swap, and I absolutely hate it. Then ClockTuner for Ryzen released, and this program is the reason I'm finally biting the bullet and upgrading. To be fair, my 3800x performs, I assume, within spec. Default out of the box, it runs mostly fine. When I first built the PC I was using bottom of the barrel parts in a MicroATX system. I assumed the general, infrequent instability was just from the $100 AsRock Mobo. As I began to upgrade the system, however, and after each small iteration, it became clear who the culprit was. Again, in my current, far-more-advanced-than-the-first build, with an X570 Aorus Master, EK 360 AIO, and Corsair 850w Platinum yellow label, the only real issue I have at default settings is the CPU temp fluctuations. CPU temps float between 30c and 65c randomly at idle. On the silent fan profile, opening Chrome causes the fans to spin to 100%. This has been the case through 3 different motherboards, a top of the line air cooler, another liquid cooler, and finally this *literal* chart topping 360 AIO from EK Gaming. However, no amount of stress testing can get the CPU temps over 70c. 5 hours in Prime 95, it doesn't break a sweat. How does that make sense?! Then I heard about ClockTuner for Ryzen, and figured it could really help me. An auto undervolt to get my temps in check while possibly giving me a better Cinebench score? Hell yeah, sign me up. Well I wish I hadn't, cause I'm now the owner of, I think, the absolute WORST binned 3800x in existence. Ignorance is bliss. This program confirmed I have a "bronze" CPU, and you know the numbers it assigns to each CPU Core so you get an idea of their quality? My highest scoring core is lower than the lowest scoring core of the 2 CPU's in the 2 tutorial videos I watched to set the program up. Oh, and the program doesn't work for me. It causes my PC to crash every time. No matter what I do. I've changed all the settings I needed to in Bios, even some optional ones for extra stability. My 3800x was the sample used to determine the absolute baseline minimum for what constitutes a 3800x, and I'm convinced the wildly fluctuating temps are because my CPU struggles to turbo boost based on the default AMD specs. I don't blame AMD for this, and fully plan to upgrade to a 5000 series chip. I just really needed to vent, and perhaps even get confirming/competing opinions or experiences. EDIT: Also forgot to mention, it takes 1 minute for my PC to start on a gen 4 NVMe drive because the first time it gets to the POST screen, it restarts itself like there's some kind of bad bios setting, but NEVER fails to start successfully the second time. I've also adjusted every single bios setting to remedy this issue, but nothing works. Also Also, every 10th (ish, obviously the issue is completely random) startup it'll boot in to Windows, but nothing responds. No keyboard, mouse, USB won't respond. Have to do a hard reset.

Hi everybody, A few weeks ago, i've moved my m.2 NVME ssd (Kingston A2000 1tb) from my motherboard's m.2 port to a pcle lane with a sabrent adapter (NVME compatible) and installed 2 new memory dimms. Every since i made these adaptions, my computer shuts down and produces an stop code: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, which means there is some kind of hardware issue. This only occurs when the computer is under heavy load, especially when the ssd is writing large amounts of data. I've removed the new dimms but the error still occurs which means it is probably the change i made to the ssd. I've benchmarked the ssd on random read and compared it to an older sata ssd also attached to the system and for some reason the random read performance of the sata ssd is very stable compared to the NVME ssd. Is this 'jumping' in random read performance normal for this kind of NVME SSD or does this indicate something is wrong with the storage device? I've placed the SSD back into the motherboard's m.2 port but the jumping behavior still remains the same, only scaled with the lower read speeds.

Hey guys I've been playing Skyrim SE for a couple weeks now without any problems. But today when I was fighting an Elder Dragon, very time it would make a fast landing (just slam into the ground without flapping it's wings) I'd get a massive lag spike from 30fps (yes I know I suck) to 1 fps, and sometimes it would stay until I would alt-f4 out of the game. I've never had lag like this since I started playing. the most I've seen it drop was to 29fps. I've also fought numerous dragons before this one and never had this happen I've tried lowering my settings from ultra to high and nothing changed. i tired testing my OC stability and it seems to be fine. I've ran out of ideas so if anyone knows what's causing this your help would be greatly appreciated.
