Every once and a while lately my computer has been restarting on its own. It mostly happens when I am playing Overwatch (currently my game of choice) but it seems to only happen when I am entering or leaving a game, ie when the screens are changing everything is loading in or bringing me back to the home page. Another factor may be when I have youtube playing at the same time, such as watching a video while I wait for the que. I am wondering if, in theory, my undervolt is a little low and when it goes from 0 to 100 when entering a game it causes my system to become unstable? Any ideas what else could be causing my instability?

 

vega 56

ryzen 5 1600

ROG b450-f(?) mobo

750W power supply

 

Overclock/undervolt I have since toned down(power limit +50%)

Of course it could cause iinstability, especially if removing it solves the crashing

undervolting is like overclocking but in reverse...off course at some point it becomes unstable...and for your computer to crash in a light game like overwatch...that tells me you're probably a fair bit off from being rock stable there.

I am running my Vega at 1140p 144hz so at that point it’s not very light for my card ?

 

i just did aida64 for 6 hours last night with state 7 at 1590(default) MHz 1150 mV clock speed and vram to 850MHz with no errors so I think over the next little bit I’ll change either the voltage or clock speed 5 mv or 10MHz each night and stress it again until I get an error then back off

AIDA64 has never been able to properly stress my GPU. Try use something like Unigine Superposition or 3DMark.

 

Also, just completely reset your Wattman to completely remove your undervolts and other modifications and see if that solves the issue.

Maybe some Prime95? The original clock cycle virus.  It will eat everything and keep eating.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
