It hasn't worked out to get a refund—it's been a year since I upgraded this PC. I'm considering going back to the store where I bought all the components. I'm still confused about whether the problem is with the PSU; it seems like restarting when stressing the GPU and CPU might help.
Or is it the PSU itself? I believe the PC should restart during the stress test.
I continue trying, seems the restart isn't happening consistently. Sometimes I save again with 8k textures, but it doesn't trigger the restart. Only when I export those 8k textures and run Blender Eevee with a large scene, volume tile size 4x, but 2x is high, it works only with that setting. Everything else seems normal. I'm still puzzled by the problem.
Have you tried memtest86? Running it one stick at a time and confirming consistent results can help identify a bad solder, which you could then fix easily. It helped me a few years ago.
Thanks, but I don't feel the need to repeat this. I believe both RAMs are fine too. Check the picture below; I also had a couple more sticks from my old machine, which ran at 1333MHz. Still, I'm experiencing restart issues when exporting 8K and using a scene in Blender. It seems RAM might not be the issue. Could the PSU or motherboard be the culprit, or is there a driver problem? @WikiForce @GenericFanboy @manikyath Help me understand. This situation is really confusing—even under stress tests, CPU and GPU temperatures stay normal, and RAM temps are stable.
First of all, no you cannot fix bad ram, need to throw it away and replace it. Sounds like it could be the PSU, GPU (more likely if you are using the GPU to render Blender on, less likely if you are using CPU), motherboard or RAM at this point. - Test your PC with a different PSU and see if the problem persists. If that fixes it: PSU issue - Test your RAM with Memtest 86 and check for errors. If errors are found, RAM is faulty and needs to be replaced. No way to fix bad RAM. Test with both sticks separately to rule out one or the other or both. - Test PC with different GPU or test GPU in a different PC to rule out the GPU. - if all the above are working fine; it could be the motherboard. Harder to test other than replacing the motherboard and seeing if it fixes it. - CPUs are not likely to fail. And when they do fail, the PC will no longer boot. It is 95% certain this kind of issue is being caused by something other than the CPU. - Could also be a software issue, although less likely. Try reinstalling windows. Good luck!
