Hey everyone. I recently assembled my own PC a few months ago. I began with a 700W single-rail power supply and it functioned well until I faced a crash while playing an explosion scene in RDR2. Then I upgraded to an 850W multi-rail PSU (Enermax Revolution D.F., considered A-tier gold on the PSU cultist list). Still, I keep experiencing crashes even after the upgrade, especially during explosions in BF4 (an older game). Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Thanks for your support!
Hello
UMRTH
.
When you mention "crash," what exactly happened? Did the system stop working entirely? Did Windows restart? Was there a Blue Screen of Death?
Could you provide details about the motherboard model, the BIOS version installed, the expected model of the 240mm AIO, and the manufacturer and model of your previous power supply?
For a new setup, it would be advisable to update the BIOS to the most recent non-beta release. Please carefully follow the instructions on the motherboard website. Then visit the AMD site, download and install the latest chipset drivers for your board.
Hey! Thanks for your assistance again!
When the system crashed, the PC shut down automatically while RGB RAM sticks and fans remained active. The fans eventually stopped spinning. No input from the mouse or keyboard.
Mobo: Aorus B550 Elite V2 with WiFi
BIOS version is F15d (not the latest)
AIO: Cooler Master ML240L V2 RGB
Previous power supply: Antec Neo ECO GOLD ZEN 700W (B-tier gold)
Appreciate your help! I plan to update the BIOS and chipset tomorrow. One more point: I saw on PSU Cultist List that a multi-rail PSU might trip when connected with high-power GPUs (like the 6900XT), and balancing the load could be beneficial. Should I consider trying this setup as well?
The bottom of page 4 illustrates which PCIe ports correspond to which rails. The table on page 5 lists the amperage for each port. From this information, I believe 12V4 and 12V3 would be suitable options for your troubleshooting needs.
Ensure the BIOS remains current. Provide the precise part number and version for the RAM. Specify whether the kit contains 4 or 2 units of 2 sticks. Perform testing using 2 sticks in slots A2 and B2. Link the GPU via distinct cables to individual 12v rails on the PSU.
Sorry, the model is the AX V2. I missed the AX.
The operating system was just installed.
Everything was brand new.
The part number for the RAM begins with CMH and includes the version number visible on the modules.
Hello! I was a bit occupied the past week. I verified that my rams are now version 4.33.
