Device shutting down unexpectedly without notice.
Device shutting down unexpectedly without notice.
Hey everyone, I’m dealing with a strange issue on my PC. Last night it suddenly shut down without warning—just a black screen and then it restarted. This occurred while using folding@home. My system specs are R7 3800X, GTX 1070. It happened twice yesterday. The CPU was clocked at 3.8GHz, running at 1.05V. After the crashes, I added 25mV to the voltage, thinking it might fix the problem even though the underclock held steady in Prime95. Now it’s happening again. Anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this? It doesn’t seem like a thermal issue since both the GPU and CPU are cooling well and temperatures are normal (around 50°C for CPU, 40°C for GPU). Also, I recently overclocked my RAM from 3000MHz to 3200MHz, but that’s been stable in all applications. Thanks for any help!
Avoid running your PC with overclocked or undervolted settings.
Explore a guide on WHEA errors to identify potential CPU issues, including which core might be the culprit. If the problem isn't resolved, try disabling all overclocks and underclocks, let it run for a few days, and if it still doesn't fix the issue, reactivate one at a time.
I'm looking for the part responsible for the issue. It doesn't seem to be just RAM or CPU; the memory error causes a blue screen, so it's likely something else.
If the issue isn't with the CPU or RAM, it likely points to the motherboard or power supply unit. It's hard to pinpoint them without confirming other parts aren't faulty.
