Random black screen and restart.
Random black screen and restart.
Hello everyone, it's been one day since I upgraded my system.
The components are:
Mobo: Asus Rog Strix z370-E Gaming
CPU: Intel i7-8700k
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (F4-3200C14D-16GTZKW)
Memory slots: 14
GPU: Asus Radeon RX470 4GB OC Gaming
Storage: Adata sp550 120GB
SSD: Samsung 750 Evo 250GB
Power supply: Thermaltake Smart SE 630W
Cooling: Cryorig H7
I use x.m.p profile for RAM and it runs at 14-14-34 with 1.3530 voltage.
The CPU was originally at 3.7 GHz.
After the upgrade, I installed Windows 10 and updated the BIOS on the motherboard.
My usual temperatures are normal.
Today, however, I experience a random black screen accompanied by a buzzing sound, followed by a restart.
Anyone has noticed this issue? Could the RAM be causing problems with my system?
it's been almost six months since the PSU was installed, and the issue began after the new build.
i'm using an AMD CPU that consumes more power now than it did previously, which is confusing :O
You can't really claim the PSU isn't the issue since it's a brand-new build... It could be that the previous setup wasn't forcing the PSU to perform as much... I'm not sure... But I do know that a fresh PSU is a straightforward and inexpensive component, and if it fails, you can return it to the store!
I still believe the PSU caused the problem, and frequent restarts usually point to a power issue.
