System shutting down following hardware upgrade
System shutting down following hardware upgrade
Hey there, I see you're dealing with a tricky situation. It sounds like your PC's power management got affected after the upgrade. The fact that you've already tried swapping parts and still face issues suggests there might be deeper hardware or software conflicts. Let's explore possible causes and solutions together.
Which CPU cooler should you choose? Did you update all the power cables when changing the PSU? What are your latest motherboard BIOS versions?
Ah, sorry - I totally forgot to mention the cooler! I've got a Noctua NH-U12s. I did replace all the cables - I actually bought a set of CableMod replacement cables for the PSU. No daisy chains either, the 6900xt has two 8pins and a 6pin all individually run from the PSU.
Tell me about your temperatures while playing, and I'll check if a U12S is sufficient for your 1,370k cooling needs.
My CPU looks fine—running everything at default settings works normally. The GPU is getting very hot, but the online readings match what a 6900XT should be.
I haven't thought about it before—I'll try it this weekend. I didn't think about doing that, but reseating the CPU might be a good idea too.
I’d reposition everything: GPU, RAM, PSU connectors, CPU. If it works I’ll attempt another setup. It seems there’s an issue causing a problem. Also, if you have it, testing the new PSU on your existing unit would help confirm. It might be a protection mechanism activating or a short circuit. I think it’s wise to check that too.
Hey everyone! I removed all my cables and reattached them securely, and everything seems to be working well. Appreciate the support!
