Error during startup when disconnecting from the device.
Error during startup when disconnecting from the device.
When I power my computer quickly, I notice it repeatedly loops in nine hours. The screen stays dark, and the fan runs at maximum speed, then slows by a quarter of its speed before returning to full speed within about a second. I suspect this might be linked to an unstable overclock despite stress tests on RAM and CPU. What actions should I take?
If you think the problem comes from the overclock, reduce the overclock settings and check if it resolves the issue.
It shows no signs of overheating under a synthetic load designed to generate maximum heat; it reaches around 80°C. Ryzen's peak is likely near 95°C. From my experience, a stable but hot overclock at 4GHZ on a Ryzen 3 1200 (93°C) led me to settle at 3.9. Should I go back to the stock setting (3.1) for testing or try something higher like 3.5? Just a guess—no further changes planned.
It seems the system logged an unusual restart event. This might indicate a shutdown failure, crash, or power loss. The issue could be tied to Event ID 41 at a high severity. I detected three occurrences of this message.
I checked my PSU with a multimeter two weeks ago and everything stayed within 5% even when under load. Looking at the event viewer now, it’s clear the graphics card is handling most or all of the issues. I’m not sure of exact signs yet, but I’ve noticed some symptoms, so it seems likely. The R7 240 should be replaced regardless of whether it’s faulty.
