PC crash during streams.....

[jhogan93]

hey guys, yet again i come to you for some help trouble shooting. im a streamer, and in the past 24hrs i have been having issues with my pc crashing during my streams. im currentyly doing some stress tests on the cpu and gpu.

 

i have :

ryzen 7 2700 @ 4ghz 

 

Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard

 

G.Skill Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory

 

MSI GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB GAMING Video Card

 

with my rig i have been streaming rather comfortably. though i have seen some red flags.

my overclock to 4ghz only tops out at 3.95ghz. i have tried to reduce it to 3.8ghz but only getting 3.76ghz. and i think my motherboard or cpu might be ready to die on me.

 

i was streaming bio-shocked remastered before the crash today. i wouldnt think the game would be too intensive but streaming on top of it might cause stability issues.

after 25 mins of cinebench r23 my cpu temps are only at 75 max and it hasnt crashed next will be the gpu.

 

 

any help would be great, thanks!

not necessarily. I wouldn't worry too much, unless the frequency if off by like 100MHz or more.

What are your temps while gaming, for both GPU and CPU?

How much system RAM is being used?

How much video RAM is being used?

What software are you using for streaming?

Extra:
PSU Wattage?
Is your power outlet to spec?
What were you streaming?

Are you using NVENC or x264?

okay, Update:

 

ran some benchmarks. 

cpu topped out @74c

gpu topped out @77c

 

i use OBS. it has always worked well.

i use the nvidia nvench h.264 encoder

CBR rate control @ 6000kbps

 

for recording i use the same encoder

lossless rate control

 

now i think i may kinda have an idea where issues might be coming up.

with my lossless rate control my recorded files are ridiculously huge. i usually  set the recording path to my 8tb external HDD. its connected to a USB 3.0 port and i havent had any issues with it set up that way..... till today. im going to try to stream again with the recording path to my SSD and see where that gets me.

 

and one last thing i recently cloned my old OS drive on to my new 500gb ssd. everything seems to be fine, except for stream around 45 mins- 1hr. though i doubt this is issue, i just want to make a note of it

new update:

 

Pc crashed again. this time using handbrake. my only real solution is to dail back my over clock or go back to base clock. either cpu is shoeing age and i may upgrade sooner rather than later
