Hey everyone, I’m feeling pretty frustrated. My PC keeps crashing suddenly without any clear reason. I’ve saved a log of what happens during these incidents. Sometimes it freezes on a particular screen, other times it restarts itself. So far, I’ve checked the Windows reinstall, updated drivers, disabled auto overclocking (PBO and Nvidia OC), verified PSU performance under load, and run all tests. Still no solution.

My system specs are: Ryzen 5600X, Asus TUF X570, Wi-Fi RTX 3070, FE motherboard, 4x8GB Corsair vantage Pro RGB NZXT, X52 case with two 140 RGB fans, Samsung 970 Pro, Intel 660P, one Rando 7200 HDD, Lian Li O11 dynamic drive, plus a 1440 and 1080 monitor, plus RGB strips.

I’ve played nonstop for hours without issues, but after about 30 minutes it starts acting up. Temperatures are normal during games (CPU 85°C, GPU 78°C). I’ve used this setup for years without any problems, so something unusual is happening. The only change I made recently was adding the new HDD drive—maybe that’s the culprit?

I’m trying to figure it out and would really appreciate any help. Thanks a lot!

Remove the riser cable immediately.

Have you attempted it without the riser cable?

I've been using the riser for more than a year without any problems and haven't made any changes. It's possible it just didn't fail at all, or there might be another reason we're not seeing it move.

I don't understand, but those cables seem to be sensitive, and something clearly changed. So I'll skip that part...

I'll test the HDD first, then move to the riser and check my performance.

I cleared the HDD and also took out what looked like a bad NVMe drive. It was strange—my Intel 660P didn’t appear in the MB slot but showed up in an external drive holder. Other NVMe drives show up there, so I couldn’t figure out why this one wouldn’t. I double-checked the GPT vs MBR settings. Removing these two parts led to no crashes for about three hours. Fingers crossed and thanks for your assistance!
