Question My PC crashing for months, please HELP!
Hello, a year back I shared a post seeking assistance for system upgrades that led to frequent PC restarts and crashes while gaming. Recently, suggestions have come in about addressing the issues I'm experiencing after purchasing a new GPU for my setup. For more context and details about my hardware, you can refer to this guide: Build Advice - Upgrading/Building a PC for 2024, should I do it? Hello and thank you for taking the time to read. My current build includes: - GPU: RTX 2070 AORUS SUPER - CPU: Ryzen 3700X - PSU: Corsair RM750X - Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon - SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 - RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600Mhz 2x16GB - Monitor: Asus PG278QR - Games I'm planning to build: Future GTA 6, Future ARK... For more information, visit forums. In summary: I recently upgraded to a ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4070 Ti SUPER. The PC would randomly crash during gaming, accompanied by specific error messages in the event logs. Actions I've taken so far: - Performed a clean format - Upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 - Updated BIOS - Installed new drivers - Replaced all cables and RAM - Purchased a new PSU cable (600W PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR) Despite these efforts, the problems persisted. The system logs indicated processor core issues, yet no overheating was detected. All components appear to be functioning normally. I'm uncertain what to do next and fear that if I reach a point where further troubleshooting fails, I might have to consider replacing the CPU or PSU entirely. Additional notes: There are days when gaming runs smoothly for hours, but other times I experience multiple crashes each day. These interruptions ruin my enjoyment, especially when I just want to relax and unwind. Any guidance would be extremely valuable. Best regards
Upgrading to Windows 11 via internal path from 10 requires preparing a bootable USB. Disconnect all drives except the one for installation, then reinstall OS offline. After setup, add all necessary drivers with their newest versions using an elevated command—Right click installer > Run as Administrator.
PSU:
(Corsair RM750X)
Power Supply:
(MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon)
BIOS update:
For context, which BIOS version are you currently running and have you reset the CMOS after confirming your BIOS was updated to the latest?
You moved from an RTX 2070 AORUS SUPER to a ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4070 Ti SUPER. Did you use DDU to clear all GPU drivers (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually install the newest GPU driver from Nvidia's support site via an elevated command—Right click installer > Run as Administrator?
-I believe PSU hit its 5th anniversary this December.
-The BIOS version is still beta one from 2023, I think, and I cleared the CMOS after a while ago, probably using a screwdriver. I remember resetting the BIOS settings so it worked.
-I don’t use DDU; when I switch GPUs, I just format the whole PC and wipe the partition during Windows installation to ensure a clean setup.
-Also, I upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 via the Windows upgrade offer in updates. I did this after a fresh install with a new GPU and driver before starting the upgrade.
The Windows Memory Diagnostic evaluated the system's memory and found no issues
