Have you got trouble with hard drives or an Nvidia driver, and keeps getting crashes?
Hello, I am having constant crashes on my system anytime I game. So this started with a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD. I got crashes and sent the drive back twice. They replaced it with a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB and since then the latest nvidia drivers have also been a [language] show on my system; CPU: 7900x CPU cooler:Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 Motherboard: Asus Strix b650e-f Ram:32gb ddr5 gksill flare x5 SSD/HDD: 2tb samsung 990 pro, 1tb sn770, 1tb wavlink 880t GPU:rtx 4070 asus tuf PSU:corsair rmx850 Chassis:Lian li 216x OS: windows 11 pro 24h2 Monitor: acer nitro 1440p170hz/msi 24 1080p My pc is stable, with and without PBO, and gpu oc. I can run cinebenchr24 multi for 30 min fine, stream on 2 platforms on obs fine, run any app or program just fine as soon as I run any game my pc crashes and it is different every day. Yesterday I gamed and streamed to twitch for 2 hours, today I can't even run 1 game for more than 5 minutes. Just tonight I spent 2 hours ddu and reinstalling gpu drivers as well as bios update. The 990 pro shows no errors in magician or error checking or in sfc/scannow or DISM checks from command prompt. I am almost certain from over a month of problems that it is the gpu driver but even when I rolled back to nvidia 566.36 there is no stability, even after ddu and clean install. I am tired, I just want to game. If anyone has any ideas of how to narrow it down or fix please help. I have also tried turning down settings, turning off DLSS and relfex. I have also tried an sn850 1tb as my os drive but same results, games crash it and I have reinstalled windows like 4 times on each drive. The sn850 was more stable on some games but eventually crashed too. I have also tried running gpu and nvme on gen 3, and reinstalling drivers from device manager for storage controllers.
Try removing your graphics card and Nvidia drivers, then just run the IGPU software. If this makes things work better or worse, maybe we need to look at the driver settings more closely. You should probably go back a few steps and check what's happening there too. I don't think it has anything to do with your M2 drives right now. Just install the newest motherboard chipset from AMD if you haven't already. Do this every time you clean install Windows, especially if you're using Pro. If you have Home version of Windows, turning off automatic driver installation is easier than you might think. It's a bit trickier for Home but totally doable. You should probably turn that feature off as soon as possible after installing Windows so it doesn't decide to install something weird without you knowing what's going on first.
I updated this because my RAM ran at 6000mhz when I bought the PC two years ago, even though the 7900x can only run it at 5200mhz max on the official AMD site. Now it is stable and boots faster than before. It is hard to believe I had so many problems with my RAM speed for two years. Thanks boju for the tips. The lesson learned is always to check the CPU specs first, not the motherboard.
ok so my computer just double crashed and restarted. i don't know what to do and it says failed to initialize crash dump. now here are the event logs. image https://imgur.com/a/JxsuO7n What is weird is i had a cheap wavlink ram stick with less ssd for a year and no problems. when i swapped to the 990 pro all of this instability happened.
What are your temperatures while playing games? Did you check if the 990 pro was hot enough? If you swapped a Gen 3 for a Gen 4 drive, you need better cooling because the new one runs much hotter. Usually drives slow down when they get too hot but since this started after buying the new drive, you have to look at every setting carefully. Is this drive used for your main games or is it for the system? Also, Event Viewer shows a power problem. When you run stress tests like Cinebench, you don't use as much power as when gaming because those tests only use part of the CPU while a game uses everything at once. The RM850x is a great power supply but any component can break eventually. How strong is this power supply? And what Windows power plan are you using? If it's set to balanced, try switching to performance or vice versa.
Hi, so when I play games, my CPU hits 50 to 70 degrees Celsius with a Ryzen 9 7900X setup using the latest patch version (-20 offset for all cores, +200 oc, auto-scaling, mobo power and temp limits). I have a really good air cooler that keeps temps under 80s even during Cinebench tests. The only time things get weird is when I game. My hard drives also use mobo heatsinks that keep them around 40 degrees Celsius while gaming. I'm using the 990 Pro for my OS and some games storage. It's a good idea to check your power supply, it's two years old but running the high performance plan right now. During CPU gaming, it pulls about 120 to 150 watts; during GPU gaming, it goes up to 180 to 200 watts. Thanks for helping me out—it feels confusing because everything started happening after switching to a better OS drive. But I learned that higher-end drives pull more sustained speeds and can be more sensitive to oc's since they share fewer PCI lanes. I'll try balanced mode now. Do you have any tips on how to stop Windows from making those error logs?
It's even stranger because I played online all night without any issues, but now it's acting up. It feels like my computer isn't getting the right software from Nvidia, and since those updates were a mess, maybe it's just the power supply.
The RM850x comes with a 10-year warranty, but if it breaks right after two years, that sounds like bad luck. Most of the time, though, things aren't broken on purpose. You mentioned your hard drive is acting up? How did you get to this new drive? Did you just copy the old one or did you reinstall Windows completely?
I am very confused. Every single day feels different because I took all my PBO settings and GPU overclocks out. These were stable on a cheap $50 SSD that used to work well, but now it has broken completely. It crashes every time I try to play games today. Two nights ago I tried streaming with PBO turned on. I checked almost every driver option, called Samsung support, and they don't know why anything is wrong. I have no idea what to do next. It feels like a driver problem, but my PC won't even save crash dumps when it crashes. I can't figure out why this is happening. I already replaced the drive with Windows three times now. My backup drives are fine except for one 990 Pro drive where I am almost ready to swap it right away for a new drive. All I know is there seems to be a conflict between Asus and Samsung, especially since the 980 Pro never worked before, and the same thing happened with the 990 Pro two years ago using the exact same symptoms.
The newest NVIDIA drivers have been making my computer crash a lot lately. It started around version 572.xx right when I installed new SSDs. I tried running the PC with and without PBO or GPU OC, and I updated every driver patch available. I even ran DISM and SFC to fix errors. I tested it in games like Heaven, 3DMark, PCMark 10, Cinebench 24 Multi for thirty minutes both with and without PBO/OC. The only crash happens when playing games. Even then, the logs showed driver errors. I will update this thread soon when new NVIDIA drivers arrive. To anyone else with crashing PCs or BSODs: it's true that drivers after version 5000 are broken. Thanks to everyone who gave good advice and helped me figure out this was a software glitch versus bad hardware. It was actually a driver error vs hardware, so thanks for the feedback! One thing I like about PC life is how much I learn when I troubleshoot errors and get problems solved. Even if it's stressful, every time I solve a problem, I learn something valuable. I learned my CPU (7900X) supports up to 5200MHz RAM speed, but with an EXPO 6000 stick for the last two years, now it boots instantly.
