5700 xt shuts off when starting a game.

[mohabed96]

hi

my pc specs:

Intel 7820x

Msi x299 carbon pro m 

16gb ddr4 kingston 3200

evga BQ 600

powercolor 5700xt red devil 

 

fresh bios update for motherboard, ddu deleting of gpu drivers, and latest amd gpu driver. 

 

So, my computer is acting weird, when I use it normally to watch youtube videos and browse the web it gives me no trouble. 

but lately if I start a game like csgo or pubg, the screen goes black and the pc crashes, it won’t fix itself, it must be restarted. 

at first, I thought it was an issue with csgo but the same can happen with furemark and pubg. sometimes it will take 20-30 minutes in game before the screen crashes. 

 

Cant reset windows as the computer crashes during the reinstalling. 

 

The gpu is just 3 months old, and I have tried to switch the physical bios switch from gaming to quiet and the issue is still there. 

 

I have run windows ram analysis, came back with no errors. I can run the cpu with prime95 for couple of hours without issues. 

 

have tried to turn off game mode and xmp in motherboard bios without any help. 

 

I have now ordered a new 850w psu as this could be a power supply issue. 

 

Does anyone here know a good software tool or method to test whether the gpu is the main problem?

GPU is a bit power hungry i guess. So it crashes. I too used my GTX 1070 on a 450w psu just for fun on my uncle's PC and it crashed. All u do until you get your New psu is to turn on power saving in windows as it consumes less power. It would help you for some time.

The fact that the PSU is 600 watts isn't the problem, it's the fact that the BQ sucks. Did you buy a good PSU or just a bigger PSU? The problem with the EVGA B series is that it is rated for only 30° Celsius operation, so as soon as a load kicks in the unit can't output as much power.

A GTX 1080 and a Ryzen 5 3600 can run off a CX450 with no issues at all. It's not the wattage that's the problem.

What are you talking about?????

 

First of all no, 600w is plenty for that combo 

2nd of all it could be drivers acting up since amd drivers are shit right now 

 

3rd of all it could be bad power delivery from either the PSU or the mb

I had many power hungry parts like i5 8600k, 2x 2tb hdd, and so on.

I ordered  Corsair RM850 80 PLUS Gold.

An 8600K and a 1070 would need some insane overclocking to surpass 450 watts. 2 hard drives draws like 30 watts which is nothing.

That's true. Navi GPU'S have shitty drivers. So it could be the cause for it.

That's a much better quality unit, so hopefully that changes things.

to be honest the 600 bq did me good with my older gtx1070, but im tired of serching for the issue so im just gonna change it and see what happens. if its a bad motherboard then im truly getting the big d up the bum. because there is not a single store in norway that sells x299 micro atx boards, just atx and larger formats.

AIO(Corsair H100i pro) and 5ghz overclock by me. And i ran that system off by my SSD which could apply the GPU overclock. So it could cause it to crash. He uses that PC for Cad software, structure designing, and sometimes for CNC cutting.

It's most likely the PSU so relax

20.2.2 is the good one.

I still had issues with 20.2.2 on my 5700XT, so I sent it back. I'm planning to buy a second one in the hopes that it will actually work. My PSU is 550w, and it happens to have 2 12v rails, one is 20A and the other is 28A. I thought that maybe this could be the issue, but then I tried the GPU in another computer with a good 650w PSU, only to have it go nuts after about an hour and constantly crash.

[mohabed96]

I got the new psu yesterday evening. Changed it and it worked like a charm, for about 2 hours. I played 1 csgo match with no issues, then later when watching youtube videos the computer crashed. After a bit of researching I found out that older 19.-.- amd drivers are better because they allow you to just download the drivers and not the other bs included. And many other people with similar issues said that running two separate 8 pin cables to the gpu is better than a single 8pin to 2 x 8 ping cable. After downgrading the driver and going to two separate cables I turned on prime 95, used highest power usage mode, and turned furmark gpu stress test on, about 2 hours later no crash. 

 

Not gonna breath yet, I will give it a couple of days with more gaming/stress test to finally see if the issue is gone. 

I also noticed that my motherboard has a single 6pin connector below the cpu just above the first pci slot, I tried to connect a gpu 6+2 pin cable to it but it wasn't long enough, does anyone know if it is worth buying an extension cable or is that 6 pin just necessary for people that heavily overclock?
