Just to confirm, while you're running stress tests, it would help to execute Furmark. If the GPU struggles, it should stop quickly during Furmark because it places the GPU under extreme load that doesn't occur in normal use. Keep in mind Furmark is being labeled a "power virus" for a reason—30 minutes should be enough. Even if other tests pass without problems, it might be tough to pinpoint the issue. In such a scenario, I’d still suspect RAM, but more complex stability checks using different tools beyond Memtest86 would be needed.
I tested memtest86 overnight and got clean results. Ran furmark for a bit and everything stayed stable. The GPU stress test file will be checked for power stress testing soon. This problem has been puzzling me—could it be related to the GPU? I changed my PSU after a few incidents, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
Consider testing Vulcan VRAM performance. The crashes you experienced were likely due to insufficient VRAM.
I completed the OCCT and VRAM tests for an hour without any issues. It’s possible the outlet power quality or a MOBO chip overheating due to heat from the GPU is the cause. Other concerns include HDD/SSD overheating or a similar issue. Identifying the problem seems like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I don't have a specific model of PSU, as I don't store that information. Could you provide more details about your PSU or let me know what you need help with?
I understand you're trying to figure out what's causing the problems. You've already tested with a different GPU and still face issues, which suggests the hardware might be the main culprit. It could be related to overheating components, faulty RAM, or even CPU performance. The fact that it worked fine on your older system hints at other factors at play. Consider checking temperatures, testing with different drives, and maybe upgrading cooling solutions.
