PSU serious instability.

[StepDice]

I have had increasing instability over the past few weeks, and while investigating, I found that the OCCT Power test crashes the second I start it, but in the radeon software the stress test draws 315W on my 6800xt with ease, no problems.

I presume this is down to something going wrong in the PSU (an HX1200), and before I replace it I want to make sure I have gone through everything else first.

My RAM isn't DOCP, and I have tried the test with it both on and off, done a DDU, windows updates all the normal stuff.

Thanks

6800xt Sapphire

2x16gb DDR4 3200

HX1200 Corsair

How is the system crashing? Is it simply freezing, but staying powered up, or is it losing power completely? RAM stability can be a problem with Ryzen, which could possibly cause such crashes. I would confirm your RAM's compatibility on your board's QVL for Vermeer processors... Without more specifics on the the RAM SKU and full board mfr / model, I can't be of more help.
