crash PC crashes when playing games

[samguenin]

My desktop PC has been crashing when under load ever since I upgraded the motherboard and CPU to an AMD 3800x. When it crashes, my monitors go black, my gpu fan ramps up to 100% speed, and it starts to turn back on as if I just pressed the power button from a cold boot. It hasn't ever crashed under synthetic loads, just while gaming. I did a fresh install when upgrading to windows 11 last week and it continues to crash after this upgrade, and this install included an updated BIOS and all drivers. My temps while gaming are CPU: 62 GPU: 75, so not SUPER hot by any means. When I look at event viewer when windows loads back up, it logs the events shown in the attachment (the crash occurred at 3:37:06 pm).

 

My specs are:

 

OS: Windows 11 Pro (Windows 10 Pro until last week)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3800x

GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 XC ULTRA

Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming B550m-Plus

PSU: EVGA G1 750 W

 

My hunch is it's a PSU issue and maybe by my specs alone it's obvious I don't have enough wattage? This system started 7 years ago with an i7 5820k and a GTX 970 with this same power supply. I just want to hear if anyone has any other ideas about what the issue might be before I go out and replace my PSU.

 

Thanks in advance for any help I receive, and let me know if you think I left out any critical information!

Hey, my friend had a 550w psu (not a good brand), i5 4590t, gtx 770 with tdp over 230w, as soon as he opened gta V his pc would crash, restart etc, we upgraded it to a 750w corsair 80+ gold, and it works like a charm now, so im 100% sure its a power supply problem

I would venture to say cleaner CMOS and run with no overclocks etc. 

I would also be curios of the two critical and error logs but yes PSU is a safe bet especially after that many years.

 

You can help verify by running some sort of wattage monitor like HWinfo to see if high wattage draws occur before the crash.

Keep in mind that some power spikes can happen so fast that monitoring does not always show it

Nope, wasn't the PSU. Replaced it and still crashed after 30 minutes of playing games. Any other suggestions?

Faulty motherboard?
