Machine powers off and cooling system works normally
I'm here to assist you. The Diablo IV launch has been a long wait for you, and it seems the experience isn't working well right now. Your screen going black during short sessions is concerning, and while some fans are excited, your setup is clearly causing issues. I've checked several fixes you've tried: cleaning components, updating drivers, adjusting graphics settings, reinstalling software, and more. Your hardware specs look solid, but the crashes still happen. The temperatures aren't extreme when it freezes, which makes it harder to pinpoint the problem. If you want, we can go through each step again together or explore other troubleshooting angles. You've shared your experience in subreddits—those might help too. Let's figure this out.
I haven't heard much about that, but I saw some interesting discussions on the Blizzard forums about the 3080TI Diablo 4 issue. Some users shared the exact problem you mentioned. Proceed with caution. There are several reports of parts failing—like SSDs or graphics cards. I'm not claiming Diablo is the cause, but it might be a contributing factor. Check the Windows Logs to see if anything stands out.
Are there any specific alerts in Event Viewer beyond general hardware issues? It’s possible your RTX 3080 is exceeding its 750W limit, leading to an OCP on the PSU. The RX 6000 and RTX 3000 variants, especially the GA102 models like the RTX 3080, are known for high power draw in short bursts that can trigger PSU OCP. You might check this by reducing the card’s TDP limit to around 75% in tools such as MSI Afterburner. If the shutdown stops, the problem likely lies with the graphics card or power supply. The simplest solution would be upgrading to a 1000W power supply.
You're receiving these urgent notifications, but you're questioning whether your system is drawing too much power. After reinstalling Windows and uninstalling HWMonitor, the estimated usage was about 350W–380W. It's unclear if this matches your actual consumption.
It occurred in Minecraft prior to Diablo's release, which means it isn't directly connected to that title. Uncertain about which logs to review, but a Reddit user suggested searching for "critical alerts," which is what you found.
Also examine warnings and faults just before the crash. The serious warning you see appears since you need to force restart the PC by cutting power.
I agree. I've noticed some past reports about the GPU fans reaching maximum speed, and I've looked into possible fixes. It seems like the fans might be the issue. Not straightforward to confirm.
The overdrawing features brief millisecond surges, something Igorslab thoroughly examined to demonstrate. It even tested the RX 6800 XT, which occasionally exceeded its maximum TDP by two times for a few milliseconds. The GPU itself doesn't log this activity, so you must rely on oscilloscopes to identify it. The RTX 4000 line doesn’t suffer from these problems, and the RTX 4090 shows questionable power stability in their evaluations. It remains a fairly well-documented concern for RTX 3000 AD102 models such as the 3080, 3080ti, 3090, and top-tier RX 6000 cards like the RX 6800 XT. I’d suggest running the card at around 75% power usage and check if the issue persists; otherwise, lower the setting or consider upgrading your PSU.
