You're experiencing issues with your PC running high frame rates but still facing blue screens and crashes. The RX 6600 XT is powerful, but sometimes it struggles under certain workloads. Reinstalling Windows or drivers hasn't resolved the problem. You might want to check for system updates, run a clean boot, or test with lighter software to isolate the cause.
Current BIOS and drivers for the motherboard and GPU are up to date. The remaining specifications include an 11700F and 16 GB of RAM.
Only games operate smoothly at 60 frames per second and the PSU provides 600 watts of power.
Windows includes a convenient option to restart automatically during bluescreening. This is helpful for everyday users but can complicate troubleshooting. Fortunately, it's possible to turn it off. In "advanced system settings" (accessible via the start menu search), you'll find an option to disable auto-restart, which can be reactivated there. This should aid in resolving actual error messages. The error codes displayed on the bluescreen provide detailed information about what occurred, identifying the responsible component (such as a driver or hardware issue) and the specific parameters involved. As previously noted, there are tools available to examine dump files. Regarding crashes, the power supply unit (PSU) is typically the first suspect. In simple terms: higher frame rates demand more processing power, increasing energy consumption. If this exceeds the PSU's capacity, it cuts power. In milder cases, voltage levels may fall below the requirements of the GPU or CPU, causing instability rather than a complete shutdown—enough to trigger Windows to intervene but not severe enough to cause total failure.
The blue screen appears as well; I also considered the PSU but it seems to be an issue with the 850.
