Posted August 18, 2017 recently i noticed my temps creeping up to where my cpu sits at 50C idle and my gpu sits at 45c idle. Now whenever i load a game it works fine then about 10 minutes into playing, my computer either goes to a gray screen forcing me to hold down the power button until a forced restart or it cuts to no signal with the computer still running when i'm unable to do anything unless i restart the system. I unplugged and replugged all PSU cords and even switched my GPU cord for a new one. I also took out my GPU to check for dust buildup and it was completely clean. my setup is only about 2 months old and has worked with no issues until this point. the setup includes a core i5-7600 with a msi rx480(8gig version) on a msi z270 krait motherboard with 16g of ripjaw ddr4 RAM and all powered by a rosewell 550w PSU. any troubleshooting help would be greatly appreciated!! (UPDATE) So i took apart my system completely and while unplugging my GPU power supply cord form the PSU it was completely stuck. I had to use all my strength to pull it out and I found out some of the plastic around the pins melted and stuck to the inside of the PSU. Would a faulty power connection lead to crashing of my GPU under load, high idle temps, and a rise and fall in GPU clock speed while idle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 18, 2017 Why didn't you just post this in your thread? (here it is for those who don't want to bother looking through @whistleblower52's posts) And yes, that can cause your gpu to crash. RMA your PSU.

A faulty power connection could result in unstable power delivery, crashes, and damaged components. High temps and clock speed at idle is usually due to the GPU not actually idle, either driver bug or background processes using the GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
