Game is playing, but it keeps restarting things by itself without you doing anything special.
Game is playing, but it keeps restarting things by itself without you doing anything special.
I got this new 9070XT GPU a few days after it came out, but something isn't working right now. I keep getting random reboots while playing games, and sometimes it takes forever to crash—like five or six days between crashes. Sometimes, though, it just crashes three times in an hour.
I never had any problems with my old RTX 2080; I've only changed the GPU and CPU since then. The CPU was swapped back a year and a half ago and has been fine so far. I tried updating drivers (using DDU), updating the chipset and BIOS to the latest versions, and changing PCIe settings in the BIOS from auto to gen4. I also set voltage offset to -70mV and power output to -30% on Adranaline's driver. This helped for about a week.
Here are my PC specs: CPU is 5800X3D, motherboard is MSI X570 Carbon WiFi, ram is 32gb Corsair Vengeance at 3200MHz, SSD is PNY 1TB, PSU is Riotoro Enigma 850watt. It happens in every game I try. I have a small guess that it could be the power supply, but I don't know why Fortnite runs for three or four hours straight without crashing suddenly after just two minutes.
Is there something else wrong with my system, or is it definitely about 90% likely to be the PSU? Thanks!
The PSU looks like the problem, but I'm pretty sure this isn't just an old or weak part.
Actually, everything I test works perfectly. I've already ordered a 1000-watt power supply from NZXT so I can check if the problem goes away there. If it doesn't, I'll just mail it back to you in thirty days.
