GPU losing power and games freezing?
GPU losing power and games freezing?
Hello everyone,
Over the past few months, my PC has been experiencing some issues.
When I'm gaming, especially at 140+ frames per second, I suddenly notice a sharp drop in FPS and the game freezes briefly.
A log file from HWinfo shows the problem occurs within the last five seconds, and it looks like the GPU loses power, causing the clock to drop.
I've attached the log for anyone who wants to check it out, as I'm not sure what's going on.
I've tried many things—running tests, checking the GPU under warranty, replacing the PSU and CPU cooler, disabling XMP, and even using MemoryTest86.
All components are still under warranty except the motherboard. Could it be the motherboard that's causing the issue?
My current specs are: CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3D, GPU AMD Radeon 6800 XT, motherboard MSI Mortar B550M Wifi, PSU Corsair Rm1000X Shift, SSD WD Sn850X, RAM Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 3200mhz 2x16Gb, and CPU cooler Artic Liquid Freezer III 360.
It's getting really frustrating, so I appreciate all your help.
Thanks, everyone.
I will update the BIOS as soon as I get home.
Regarding the other drivers, everything is already updated—I tried DDU, reinstalled Windows, and even attempted an offline installation to rule out any issues.
Everything appears to be functioning properly or at least seems stable, with good temperatures. The CPU stays below 70 and the GPU maintains consistent performance even under stress testing.
I have the same issue, it's frustrating! No one seems to solve this problem.
Still not found the solution. I'll continue experimenting, and once I have a fix I'll share it here
Yeah, I've been looking into this for two years now, and recently I've become more interested in it than before. Thanks!
