Experiencing problems with random black displays and computer crashes.
Experiencing problems with random black displays and computer crashes.
Everything seems fine! Not everyone knows all the details about my early days either. There should be four screws securing the PSU to the back panel. That’s about the screw count. Having more details helps, which is why I’m trying to identify the exact model. Most reliable PSUs are 550W or 650W, not 600W. A photo of the 600W semi-modular unit could be sufficient for me to recognize the brand.
I’ll check it the next day, hoping it’s the PSU and not the MOBO. I’m not worried about spending too much, honestly. My observations are mixed because the system stays stable under heavy use but crashes occasionally. I’ve completed all OCCT stress tests, and only the maximum power supply causes occasional issues—rarely and only when it’s pushed too far. I can’t find a consistent replacement for it. Most of my hardware is brand new; I swapped the motherboard, CPU, RAM, case, and cooler since my old unit kept showing blue screens. The PSU wasn’t changed because the seller said it should work for the upgrade, and I recall my previous CPU was a 10600K (though I mistakenly wrote 10400K in my post).
Additionally, I realized my PC shut down four times today with no red CPU indicator, but a yellow VRAM warning appeared. I turned off XMP and will monitor the situation.
PC specifications: GPU – MSI Strix 1080 Ti, CPU – Ryzen 7600X, Motherboard – MSI B650M-A, Wi-Fi PRO (version from 25/07/24), RAM – Kingston Fury 5200M/T (2x8GB), cooler – Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE, PSU – Bronze 600W, RAM type – DDR5 5200M/T, system moved to AM5 socket.
Adjust the RAM stick location and try swapping it to another socket. If that doesn't work, format the drive and install a new window or use dual monitors to check for errors again.
Check Event Viewer for any warnings. Does the system shut down immediately or does it trigger a BSOD? If immediate shutdown, it's likely a dead PSU. Use HWInfo or Monitor to verify temperatures and voltages—make sure they match ATX requirements. Try reseating the CPU, storage, and run Crystal Disk Info to check storage status.
I checked the details and everything seems okay. The SATA drive is three weeks old, and the SSD is still at 99% health. Under load, the system would normally shut down completely, but after turning off XMP it happens less frequently, which is unusual.
Are these PSU voltages suitable? Your PC often blacks out and then displays a yellow VRAM indicator on MOBO. The PSU seems outdated, around a year and a bit, while your RAM is 16GB Kingston Fury 5200M/DDR5. It appears your current setup might not match the requirements of your upgraded configuration.
