RYZEN 1700 experiences unexpected shutdowns during Hardware Monitor operation.
RYZEN 1700 experiences unexpected shutdowns during Hardware Monitor operation.
I frequently encounter a black screen when using any hardware monitoring tools.
My system includes a Ryzen 1700 processor, an Asus Rog Strix B350F, a G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB 3000Mhz, a Sapphire HD 7750 OC 1GB (four years old), two 2TB Seagate SSDs, a Corsair CX power supply, two 1080P monitors.
I overclocked the Ryzen at 3600 MHz using auto CPU voltage control; maximum voltages reached during stress testing were 1.221, and peak temperatures stayed at 72°C in AIDA64. The BIOS version is 0902, though I replaced the motherboard due to persistent overclocking issues with BIOS Ver. 3805 (the latest).
RAM operates at 2666 MHz with a voltage of 1.3500V and a resistance of 48 ohms.
CPU Core Performance Boost and Global C State are disabled.
Testing with memTest86, AIDA64, and PRIME95 showed no errors for one hour each.
Currently, I’m using the stock cooler with CM Master gel Pro Paste.
Recently, my system started crashing when running Speccy, CPUZ, or AIDA64—displaying a black screen, fans spinning, and CPU lights illuminating. I attempted to power off the PSU to restart. The issue persists even though all fans are active. I’m unsure what’s causing it. I also tried manually adjusting the CPU and SOC voltages to 1.3 for the CPU and 1.15 for the SOC.
Additionally, I plan to install a GTX 970 in the near future; I’m concerned about needing a more powerful PSU later.
Appreciate your help.
Monitoring tools can operate at low-level code and might lead to issues on a non-fully rock stable overclock. Avoid using auto volts. Your voltage may have dropped significantly during auto volts settings. Adjust the voltage manually to 1.35000V for stability. Most Ryzen 1700s will reach 3.7 GHz or faster with that setting.

It seems you're wondering if the 1.3500V setting might cause more problems, comparing it to your current AIDA64 readings of 74°C at 1.221V, and you want to know if your PC is handling it well.
