Posted September 29, 2022 So I just upgraded from GTX 1060 to Asus RTX 2060 12 GB. As soon as I did it I played game for few mins. Everything was fine because I had enabled Vsync so that was capping at 60 fps. As soon as I disabled it to check how further it goes. After 5 mins game got crashed, closed and system got hanged. Then I tried to boot it up again but no display port. Both gpu fans spinning. Then I put my older card and same issue. Afterwards, I reset the CMOS jumper to reset BIOS putting screw driver for 10 seconds and removed the battery for 2-5 mins. I also removed my one RAM slot(2 *GB sticks) and then boot it up again and it worked. So here's what happened: 1) after that, when I logged in first time after few mins blue screen error came up. 2) I tried 2nd time to boot up and everything seemed fine. 3) Then I installed my 2nd RAM stick and seemed everything is working 4) Then I changed it to my newer GPU and played it for a while. So far it seems to be working. I even played under heavy gpu load for a while(99% usage, 80C temp, 180W) and it seemed stable NOW, I'm really worried about what I should do. Can anyone tell me what caused that? I don't want my PC to crash again. Here's my specs: Ryzen 3 3100 MSI b450 Tomahawk max Asus dual RTX 2060 Corsair CX 550W No overclocking except enabling XMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 29, 2022 Turn off XMP, it causes more issues than it solves. NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes I did tweak some BIOS settings back when I built this PC in BIOS. like C state etc I don't remember. But all was safe actually. In fact I put it cpu in idle state.

I've seen XMP causes issues all throughout the tech forums. Run everything at stock values. After a month of stability, then *one at a time* start making changes, and see if it hold stable.
