Psu issues

[Mingies]

Specs.

CPU: amd R7 5800x

GPU: 3080 ti

MoBo: asus rog strix B550

3 ssd 1tb and 3 monitors.

850 watt psu

 

i went to best buy because my computer would randomly restart when i opened up games.  The guys from geek squad barley looked at my computer and said i needed at least a 1k psu to power what I have.  While i wait for it to come in, i wanted to know,  does my build really need that much??  Im not sure how accurate a computer wattage calculators are, but the one on newegg says i need like 600 watts.

A quality 850w unit should be able to power your system fine.

 

What kind of power supply is it?

[Mingies]

Corsair RMx series

If my 850watt was fine, im afraid my computer might still have the same issue or restarting.  Also, i tried and cpu and gpu stress test and it never restarted my computer.  And all my temps were good.

RM-x 850W should be fine, restarts don't usually indicate PSU issue anyway. Is your XMP profile enabled ? Try disabling it ? And updating motherboard firmware.

Can you try this ?

Xmp is not currently enabled.  And ill update once my new psu comes in.  They had to take my old one to order the new psu. Should be here tomorrow.

I highly doubt this is the issue.

Is it only one specific game that causes restarts?

So far its happened in a few games.  League of legends, call of duty warzone, and halo 3 and 4

Try running a few passes of memtest and see if your sticks are stable.

I would try to clean boot the system and then launch a game and see how that goes.

Ryzen doesn't run very well with a lot of Corsair Vengeance LPX models. What's the exact model and versionnumber of the sticks? You can read it from the label on the sticks.

(looks at four sticks of LPX 3000MHz and Ryzen 5 3600 out of the corner of his eye)

I have never heard of this before.  Did one person make this claim and now it's stated as fact?  LOL!  Literally EVERY PC in the lab is using Vengeance LPX.  And more of half of those are Ryzen 3rd Gen and newer because they were the first to support PCIe 4.0 so I bought a bunch of them.

That's RAM with M2Z in the modelnumber?

No.  M2E, M4C...

 

Remember, I don't work with the memory guys.  I order parts for builds just like anyone else.
