Black Screen during benchmarking/ Stress testing

[Daltman56]

So relatively new to the PCMR, recently built a new system. However every time I go to do stress test or run a benchmark (Blender BMW for both CPU &GPU), my screen will go black about 1-2 minutes into the run. The error light on the Mother board indicates a VGA Error. A quick restart will get me back to windows, with no errors, so what am i missing. system specs below. Nothing is overclocked manually, just running OC genie through Command Center App. System specs Below. Heat shouldnt be an issue to hasnt risen above 80*C

 

Motherboard-MSI B450 A PRO

CPU- Ryzen 2600X

GPU- MSI 5700xt (reference design)

RAM- 16 GB 3200MHz corsair vengence lpx

SSD- Crucial P1 500GB

PS- Corsair 650CX W Bronze

HD- 2 TB barracuda

OC Genie is crap, your system is not stable.

I know the 2600X is already factory "OC" should i just disable and let it run stock settings?

Its not really worth the hassle to OC Ryzen 2000+ chips IMHO, unless you are chasing a few extra points on benchmark leaderboards.

[Daltman56]

Not really pushing for points just wanted optimize my CPU's output. If its just causing instability I'd rather not fight with it.

Yeah, Ryzen 2000 and above is pretty good at maximizing performance on its own.

@KarathKasun Thanks ill disable OC genie and see if that fixes  the issue

Disabled OC genie and no more black outs

OC genie tends to push clocks too high for the marketing points.  Its rarely ever actually useful.

 

My R5 1600 for example only makes it to 3.6ghz before the voltage requirement jumps from 1.25v to 1.4v.  Many people overstate the stability of their overclocks as well, most of the claims of 4ghz stable on 1st gen Ryzen were out and out lies.  We had a thread at Overclock.net where we gathered Prime 95 stable results from the Ryzen crowd, 3.8ghz was where like 90% of systems landed before blackscreening and whatnot.  Even though 3.8ghz was what you could reasonably expect, most "auto OC" options went straight to 4ghz.
