Help my pc is crashing
Some issues with XMP often arise when using 4 sticks, usually because of voltage or weak VRM. The 10850K should work as long as you set the RAM to 2933. Download CPU-Z and check the SPD section—it displays your XMP and JEDEC timings and voltages. In your BIOS, there’s an option to adjust RAM speed and timings; I suggest starting with the dropdown for speed, possibly set to 2933, and see if it works automatically. If not, refer to the JEDEC timings listed in CPU-Z. Regarding the graphics card, my 3070 stopped showing on startup until I power cycled it, causing artifacts in windowed videos. I reached out to Nvidia and they handled the return well. I’m not certain if anything is wrong with yours, but if problems persist, it might be worth considering this alternative.
Not relying on a 3070. Power supplies deteriorate as time passes; their capabilities at first use are greater than they would be after five years. This explains why 'futureproofing' isn't effective. Consider the duration your current PSU has been operating. It ages more quickly if you've pushed it heavily with overclocks and extensive stress tests. I tested a Seasonic Prime 750 Titanium (10-year warranty) for only about five years before it failed completely. I ran benchmarks like Cinebench, Realbench, Kombustor, Heaven Bench, and Superposition continuously for extended periods. I was far beyond what most people would do... until one day the system began failing in games. After some troubleshooting, a new PSU replaced it, and things returned to normal.
Oh, three years is still young. I'm not worried about that now.
The other aspect is definitely a point to verify the VRAM.
A PC repair shop might be able to handle it, though that's not something you can manage on your own.
EDIT: If the card is still covered by warranty, send it back through RMA.
