New system shutting down unexpectedly after extended play sessions?
New system shutting down unexpectedly after extended play sessions?
Hello everyone, I’ve been using this forum since I was a kid to deal with my system problems, and now I’m older but still not quite there to fix this one.
My current setup is fairly recent, purchased in August.
Components:
GPU: Asrock B650 Pro RS
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
RAM: 4 x 16GB Corsair Vengance DDR5 6000MHz CL30
Storage: 2 x Samsung 1TB 970 NVMe SSDs, 1 x SATA 1TB SSD
I had to buy my GPU myself, and after testing with the person, everything seemed fine. It’s a NVIDIA Rtx 3080TI; the power supply never exceeds 90-93°C, and normal temperatures stay around 80-85°C at full load.
My PSU is identical to the one from my previous system (which failed), and I ran multimeter tests when it died—voltages were correct.
To be precise: Running a demanding game for 6 to 12 hours leads to a complete shutdown of the PC. There are no minidumps or event viewer logs except that the last shutdown was unexpected.
One important point: I can’t boot the PC again unless I flip the power switch on the back of the PSU (hopefully this indicates a PSU issue).
I’m also unsure if this affects my brand new system and don’t want any problems with it.
Thanks to all of you in this forum for your support from my childhood to now.
It might be related to the CPU's compound being too thin or too thick. Check the system log in the BIOS. But what caused the other machine to fail?
Other computers failed due to an ASUS motherboard. Four years passed quickly given the poor build quality and default settings that caused the BIOS to overclock excessively.
A good suggestion, I’ll attempt it when I acquire a better power supply. Thank you very much for sharing your insights on common system issues. During this time, would you consider this a significant problem for your setup or is it manageable?
Can you also tell me if it’s feasible to lower the voltage or slow down the GPU to avoid crashes?
