Occasional complete crashes during high GPU usage
Occasional complete crashes during high GPU usage
Hello, your system setup includes the X570-E GAMING Wi-Fi II, Ryzen 5900X, 16GB RAM, EVGA 750W power supply (likely G2), and an XFX 6900XT MERC319. You're experiencing intermittent crashes under GPU load on both Linux and Windows 11, with Windows Event Viewer noting an unclean shutdown. The issue varies by game: Fortnite crashes on Linux, while other titles like Euro Truck Simulator 2, Fortnite (Windows), and TF2 behave differently. HWINFO shows high TGP usage but stable temperatures. To investigate further, consider checking RAM stability, GPU temperature trends, power supply health, and running stress tests or diagnostics tools. If needed, swapping components or upgrading the PSU could help identify the root cause.
A typical method for diagnosing hardware issues involves having backup components, such as another computer that allows you to swap parts out to identify the faulty one. Without backups, you can enlist a friend to assist by working on their machine.
