So I have a pretty complex setup but ultimately I have a fully custom water cooled pc. I have an i9-10900k overclocked to 5.1 all core but slightly undervolted usually around 1.38V and my 3080 FTW3 ultra overclocked +65 core, +1000 mem, 64gb ram overclocked beyond XMP to 3800MHz, aorus z490 ultra, and the EVGA 1000W G+. This never used to be a problem but lately when playing new world or far cry 6 after a few hours of gaming the computer will lock up and the screens will go black with some artifacts on hud elements. No blue screen and no error message. At this point the computer restarts itself. I haven’t changed CPU or GPU clocks or voltages in a while so I’m not sure why suddenly This is happening. It’s the exact same
Type of crash each time but I can’t pinpoint what’s causing it and no blue screen or error message. Without these I would think it’s GPU related but sometimes the computer recovers from that and you’ll see the screens flash back on but in this case it locks up and restarts. It’s super hard to recreate because it seems To take hours until it happens like something is heating up. But with full custom cooling and checking every temp from mobo VRMs to GPU memory, etc. nothing is ever even close to considered hot. These overclocks have been stable for months and months so it makes me wonder if the PSU is going bad even though it’s a year old? Not good with the windows event viewer so it’s hard for me to figure out what’s causing the crash but that would be a huge help. It’s a very difficult process to remove every overclock or voltage change and then test for hours and then slowly introduce them and see what causes it. It would take a week given that it take an hour or more until a crash. PCould I have mounted things too tight and somehow the heat is causing it to bend too
Much or something? Any help would be appreciated thanks.
