PC is crashing and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong.
He received a new PC featuring a Ryzen 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5-5600 RAM, an MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI board, his old case, Corsair RM 850 power supply, and a 3080 TI graphics card. After installing the 3080 TI, which performed well in both previous setups, the system would suddenly shut down while running Enshrouded under load. The power supply still supplies electricity to the board, but the screen goes black. There are no event logs indicating a problem. You're considering replacing the 3080 TI with his old 5700XT GPU to see if that resolves the issue. If it does, you're at a loss; otherwise, further testing is needed. The new GPU ran fine even during heavy rendering tasks, and the PSU was only 750W.
Did you mean to ask about this? It seems like a possible driver problem. The power supply might be wearing out—do you have a good replacement available?
Consider using monitoring tools like Afterburner, GPU-Z, or HWMonitor along with intensive rendering tests to observe temperature and power usage. Watch for signs such as excessive heat spikes or abnormal performance drops. Check if these problems occur in games beyond Enshrouded or if they affect other graphics-intensive titles. This could indicate compatibility issues with a 3000 series GPU.
