There was a critical hardware malfunction.
Lately my computers have been experiencing unexpected restarts. Apart from the GPU, nothing else has changed. Even before swapping out the GPU, the problem was already happening. I’ve checked the event viewer and found entries about the "Processor Core." The hardware details I’ve gathered so far don’t match anything I remember. No one seems to know what these logs might indicate.
I’d begin with a BIOS update and eliminate the overclock. Observe the results. If that doesn’t help, skip to disabling XMP—it might be the memory controller can’t support it (what’s your RAM speed?). Focusing on any one of these areas lets us tweak voltages to see improvement.
I've checked updating the BIOS to the latest version, but it hasn't fixed the problem. I'll adjust the overclock settings and experiment with voltage levels to determine if that helps. My RAM is set at 3200MHz, and I'll update the original post accordingly.
Run the stock for a short time. If issues disappear, we attribute it to the OC. If they continue, we realize it isn’t caused by the OC—this includes testing RAM at standard XMP speed. Doing this helps us identify the problem and decide whether further investigation is needed.
