System stops working after brief operation
System stops working after brief operation
I own a brand new PC I assembled myself.
Specifications:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Gigabyte x470 Gaming 5 Wifi
GeIL EVO POTENZA 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 2400
MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6gb OCV1
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB
Windows 10 Home
The 2600 is overclocked to 3.8 GHz at 1.1375V, and the RAM is configured with XMP to run at 2400 MHz instead of the default 2133 MHz. I’m unsure why this continues to occur. Could anyone offer advice? I plan to respond tomorrow. Thanks!
iGPU: https://blog.usro.net/how-to-disable-the...s-in-bios/ (each motherboard comes with a specific name for it.) Once confirmed, ensure the issue is related to clock instability by lowering your CPU (3.0 or ...) and RAM (1866 pr ...) completely, excluding any effects from Windows. Maintain manual voltage settings and keep DRAM voltage below 1.4.
It seems the setup is likely for high performance. I'll monitor your temperatures while you run your computer.
I'll begin at the simplest level and gradually progress to a more advanced understanding. Failing under stress, unless it's caused by heat (which is manageable but easy to track), might be linked to the power supply or connected cables. If your setup, particularly when overclocking, demands more power than it provides, it could fail or worsen... otherwise, verify that your 24-pin CPU power and graphics card power cables are securely plugged into their respective sockets and that the power supply is functioning properly. Even try reattaching them (system off).
This might seem a bit presumptuous, but you have a heatsink with correctly applied thermal paste on your CPU and you're keeping an eye on temperatures?
If it's brand new, there shouldn't be any dust present, but...
Is your ATX motherboard secured with standoffs (8 of them) in this configuration? If it's moving or making contact issues with the case, it could lead to shorts.
Ensure your CPU retention bracket is firmly attached on the motherboard. I've heard that CPUs can sometimes lose just enough contact and crash if not properly secured.
Unless you disable overclocking, test whether it improves performance. Not all devices can handle identical loads, and this will aid in identifying the problem.
Jerrylee22 will begin with the simplest approach and gradually progress to your likely skill level. If overheating occurs—unless it's caused by heat (which is manageable and easy to track)—it might be related to the power supply or the connected cables. For builds that involve overclocking, ensure your 24-pin CPU power and graphics card power cables are fully seated in their respective sockets, and the power supply is functioning correctly. Even try reconnecting them (the system should be off).
This advice might come across as a bit presumptuous, but you’ve got a heatsink with properly applied thermal paste on your CPU and you’re keeping an eye on temperatures.
If it’s brand new, there shouldn’t be any dust present, though...
Are your ATX motherboard mounts using standoffs (8 of them) in your setup? If the board is flexing and making contact with the case, it could cause a short circuit.
Check that your CPU retention bracket is securely fastened on the motherboard. I’ve heard that CPUs can lose just enough contact to crash if not properly held.
Consider disabling overclocking to see if it resolves the issue. Not all systems can handle the same stress, and this will help narrow down the cause.

Temperatures are generally within spec—peaking below 74°C during stress tests, rarely exceeding 65°C while gaming, and usually staying between 35-60°C. I own the stock Wraith Stealth cooler and four case fans, with stock thermal paste on the CPU fan. I can verify everything was secure during assembly.
The case includes preinstalled standoffs. It appears anodized or painted, so shorting is unlikely if flexing occurs.
I have a 450W bronze PSU, which a PCPP list suggests should be upgraded to around 310W.
After considering, I think this could point to a motherboard issue, a RAM problem, or a CPU fault. I haven’t handled the GPU much, and I suspect my motherboard might be faulty. Unless wrong, the X470 motherboard should support video output. However, in Device Manager, the only Display Adapter listed is the 1060, even though the motherboard should have it...
I’ll review everything again once I’m back from work this evening.
Hi, please update the latest MB bios—they often resolve these issues. Restart your BIOS as well. Turn off any power-saving settings such as Eco mode or Cool'n'Quiet. Crashes or freezes are often linked to voltage or overclock problems. Slightly raise your VCore; if it still crashes, boost the DRAM voltage. Regarding no iGPU in Device Manager, it might be disabled in the BIOS or the driver isn't installed. If it remains enabled, disable it as it can cause issues. Alternatively, you could adjust its voltage.

Hello, first of all, update the newest MB bios. These usually resolve these issues. Restart your BIOS. Also, turn off any power-saving modes such as Eco mode or Cool'n'Quiet. Crashes or freezes often indicate voltage or overclock instability. Slightly raise your VCore if it still crashes. If that happens again, boost your DRAM voltage as well.
Regarding the iGPU in Device Manager, it seems it might be disabled within the BIOS or the driver isn't installed. If it's not disabled, turn it off—it could cause further problems. Alternatively, you could try adjusting its voltage.
Thanks for the advice. I flashed the latest BIOS last night without any improvement. I've already disabled Cool'n'Quiet. I'll experiment with higher voltages, but my machine will get hotter since Wraith Stealth is weak (may upgrade soon). How do I enable integrated graphics? What settings should I check? I haven't noticed any obvious options yet.
