Device powering down unexpectedly
Hello, Your PC is experiencing unexpected shutdowns without warning, often resulting in a black screen. This issue occurs weekly, sometimes more frequently. In the Event Viewer it appears as Event 41 Kernel-Power. It seems the problem might be related to system stability or hardware stress. The attempts to disable PBO and lower GPU clock speeds haven’t resolved the situation.
Consider turning off all overclock settings and XMP/DOCP options in the BIOS. Set RAM to auto for testing. This might point to a Windows, RAM, or PSU problem. I had similar issues with bad RAM, and fixing it by reinstalling Windows helped. Try running memory at default speeds first, then back up data before reinstalling from the official site if needed.
I completed the memory tests at DOCP speeds without problems. Would you like me to proceed with a non-overlocked run as well?
Yes, the B550 v2 from Gigabyte is a solid choice for an upgrade. It offers improved performance and features compared to previous models.
Sure, you can check your power supply by using a multimeter or testing it with a known working unit. There are also online tools and software that simulate PSU performance.
