Well boys, I think I solved my problem. From what I saw this weekend, everything seems fine. I swapped out my RX 6800 for a new build and it worked great, so that wasn’t the problem. When I reinstalled it in my PC, I noticed the bottom ridge of the PCIe power plugs wasn’t allowing them to fully engage. The card’s 6+2 connector didn’t have enough clearance for those ridges, and the opposite side had a blockage from the +2 plug’s ridge. I used some tools to clear it out, and my computer ran perfectly afterward. I even reset the UV/OC settings I had before, and it’s now pulling steady power without any crashes. Fingers crossed this fixed everything. @Crunchy Dragon @Somerandomtechyboi @CaptainKieseI @jaslion
