PC Freezing

[d0t]

Hi all.

I'm running into a constant problem with my custom rig ( and I ain't smart enough to point a finger on the culprit and fix it ) - I wouldn't be asking if this wasn't my "work" rig for software development...

Specs:

- Motherboard: ROG Crosshair VIII Formula
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Processor 16C/32T 72MB Cache Max Boost up to 4.9GHz

- Graphics Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 3X 12G OC Gaming Graphics Card - NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti, GPU 1695 MHz, 12GB GDDR6X Memory

- PSU: ASUS ROG Thor 1200W Platinum II Power Supply (1200W, Aura Sync, OLED Display, 0dB Cooling, PCIe 5.0 Ready)

- Memory: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 4000MHz C19 XMP 2.0 ( 4x 32GB )
- OS: Ubuntu 23.04 ( started in 22.04 - hoped 23.04 would make it better )

What I've noticed if I leave the PC for a few minutes ( can depend: 1-5mins ) it simply freezes and I have to reboot it, sometimes when the system is booted into Ubuntu.

Have a few imgs of reboot phase which I hope it'll give further information.

Any tip, hint or info how to get to the bottom of this would help me a loooong way .

Regards from Austria.

Looks bad, CPU failure...

Did you reset CMOS?

Changed something in BIOS?

Hey. Thanks for responding.

Honestly I've tried a ton to be honest.

- Pulled all 4 RAM sticks and switched to 2x 16GB to see if the sticks were the problem ( Nope )

- I noted that one of the CPU cables was not plugged in all the way...
- I've removed the CPU , cleaned the thermal and re-applied it ( just to be sure CPU is not overheating
- Reinstalled the OS on a NVME and SSD to see if there is a disk problem ( nope )
- Switched out the Graphics card to see if that was the problem ( also nope )

- Reset CMOS check ( but I'll do it again when it freezes )

- Changed pretty much everything in the BIOS - but now I've got back to Auto on pretty much everything...

 

Also I forgot to note that when it freezes the power consumption falls off for 80W (not sure if that info helps, but I'm guessing a safety switch flips to cut the power intake ).

 

I mean I set-up my X1 Extreme for backup with Ubuntu - but that one doesn't play nice with the Lenovo Workstation Dock and means only the laptop display...

 

Cheers.

Thanks for all your help.

I'll test it out during the weekend and I'll report back.

Cheers.

Hi there.

 

I must say that changing out the CPU ( thanks go to my daughter for lending hers ).

Send mine to the seller to see what can be done. Hopefully they send a replacement.

Thanks again for your help. And giving me the confidence to really strip everything and finding the problem.
