So I received the new 9070XT GPU a few days after its release, but I'm experiencing some issues.
I’m getting unexpected reboots while playing games, and sometimes it takes between 5 to 6 days before something crashes. Occasionally, it crashes three times within an hour.
Previously, I never faced any problems with my old RTX2080, which I had for five years—only the GPU and CPU have changed since then.
My CPU was updated about 1.5 years ago without any issues so far.
I’ve tried the following:
- Updated drivers (with DDU)
- Updated chipset and bios to the latest versions
- Set PCIe to gen4 in the BIOS automatically
- Adjusted voltage offset to -70mVh and reduced power to 30% in the Adranaline driver (helped for a week).

System specs:
CPU: 5800X3D
Memory: MSI X570 Carbon WiFi
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz
SSD: PNY 1TB
Power supply: Riotoro Enigma 850W

It happens in every game I’ve tried.
I suspect the PSU might be the problem, but I don’t understand why I can run games like Fortnite for 3–4 hours without issues, yet suddenly I can’t play it for 20 minutes without a crash.
Is there anything else wrong with my system, or is it almost certain the PSU is the cause?
Thanks.

PSU: Riotoro Enigma 850watt
I believe this is probably the cause. I strongly question whether it's a reliable device.

The unusual part is that each benchmark I run performs perfectly. I've placed an order for a NZXT 1000w PSU, which I can test if needed. If not, I can return it within 30 days.
