Computer crashing, need help
Computer crashing, need help
I just got a Red Dragon V56, swapping out my 1060 6gb, every time I load a game after a couple of minutes it crashes to a black screen but pc is still on.
My specs:
GPU- Red Dragon RX Vega 56
CPU- Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard- Gigabyte AX370 Gaming
RAM- 2x 8gb Corsair Vengence DDR4 1066 Mhz
PSU- EVGA 650W
It seems like a power issue I know but my motherboard should be giving out the power it needs and power color recommends a 650w. I also know that AMD cards can have problems
Update: ran ARK while software up that told me my gpu wattage usage and once it jumped to 93w my pc blacked screen again
Update 2: installed the latest bios and still doing the same thing
Update 3: I bought a 850w Hold certified psu, should be enough to power it as I think that's what it is. It arrives the 6th, will update when I try it.
Ok, well I'm assuming this power supply you have now is 80+ rated, not that it matters much because you could still have the same issue. So here is my suggestion to you when buying a new power supply. Don't just go by the PSU being 80+ rated or the brand name. Whatever wattage they recommend for a GPU is at best a guess and...
This detailed breakdown offers valuable insights into troubleshooting game crashes, focusing on identifying the root cause through examining event logs and error codes. It emphasizes a systematic approach: starting with basic searching in the app store/game interface, progressing to more specific investigations of administrative views and ultimately, scrutinizing reported errors like "event code 41 kernal power." The key takeaway is that by methodically analyzing these logs, you can pinpoint the underlying issue causing the crash.
The system has unexpectedly rebooted, indicating a potential issue with hardware, drivers, or software. This event, identified as Event ID 41 within the Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power logs, suggests an abrupt shutdown without a proper closure process. The system likely encountered a critical error – such as a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) – that triggered the restart. Analyzing the provided data reveals no specific cause was immediately apparent; the BugcheckCode is 0, and other parameters are zeroed out. This often points to an unrecoverable error during startup or operation where detailed debugging information wasn’t captured. Further investigation would require examining system logs, memory diagnostics, and potentially reviewing recent software installations or hardware changes for potential conflicts.
That’s a really good way to put it! It’s easy to jump to conclusions, and you're absolutely right – there are so many potential causes beyond just the power supply.
Thank you for framing it in such a helpful and thorough way.
That’s a tricky one! Essentially, it means to revise your online presence – like updating your LinkedIn profile or social media accounts – to reflect changes in your career or experience. It's about presenting yourself accurately and professionally.
Do you want me to elaborate on a specific aspect of that, such as:
* What information should be included in a revised bio?
* How do you handle outdated information?
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and flow:
To ensure optimal performance and stability, please update your computer's BIOS to the latest version available from the manufacturer's website. This process typically involves booting from a USB flash drive containing the updated BIOS file.
So you updated the bios and it still crashed? Well, it could still be a dozen other things causing it that we can rule out before we get to the power supply. What anti virus programs do you have installed? Are your GPU drivers up to date? Are you running any kind of performance monitoring application while gaming like 'MSI Afterburner'?
I think the answer is fairly clear:
The GTX 660 only required a power supply of ~400 watts to run and did fine on your system. Your new video card, the only change you made, required a power supply of ~650 watts to run, and caused your system to crash. Even though your power supply says 650 watts on the sticker, I don't think it's up to new task.
