After booting up into windows USB devices+ethernet starting to disconnect one by one over time (10-15mins)

[Radokin]

Hello dear community,

since I’ve installed a new component (DARK ROCK PRO 4 and I’ve changed my computer case, be quiet pure base 500) my pc won’t boot up properly which is strange and still not solved even after having flashed my bios to the newest version.

Whenever I try to start my pc up into windows 10, it either won’t and give me a black screen or it will and slowly die by disconnecting every connected device including mouse, keyboard and ethernet. Even my monitor was disconnecting after a while but I managed to fix that somehow? lol.

I’m not sure what’s the issue, I had a no-name PSU before. I bought a new one, a much more expensive one. Still no difference. I might’ve needed to buy a PSU with more wattage than the old one but I thought I’d still be fine with 650 watts.

So yea, so far following solutions didn’t help:

• flashing bios
• buying new psu (but with same wattage then before)
• disabling “allow device to turn off when power is needed” thing
• decreasing DDR4-DIMM-Speed to 2933 from 3200

Everything with no success.
…
Once my computer seems stable enough, I always run warzone to “stress-test” it. With no success. I see my system freezing and rebooting. But not instantly. It freezes after 10-15 mins of game time.

I read somewhere that this issue is known amongst Ryzen rigs. But I can’t imagine having no actual solution for a problem, since there are so many Ryzen users.

My father suggested me to clean install drivers. But can you name me a tool which wipes off old drivers and installs new, clean ones..?

Sorry when there isn’t enough detail, feel free to ask questions. I appreciate every answer/possible solution to this.

to clarify, before the new case and CPU cooler, everything was fine?

I’d be dismantling the whole thing and assembling it on a kitchen table or on a piece of cardboard on the floor.

Yes. Everything was fine before. Now with my new components (cpu cooler, case and psu) it won’t work properly anymore..

Even the bootup takes longer than usual.. I start to think that I have insufficient wattage.. but heck. 650 watts is a lot isn’t it?

Yes that’s an idea I could try maybe taking the whole rig out of the case.

give make/model of new PSU?

that GPU has a 500w min power requirement.

Oh really..? Is it really that much for a GPU? Good to know, thanks for the research

[Bruce]

it’s 80+ Gold - so that’s a good start.
what’s the warranty - 1 year?

with PSU’s, the really good ones have a minimum of 5 year warranty, some even 10 years.

changing the case and cooler would not cause what you are describing.
and with that monster cooler, do you have that case lying down or standing vertically, cause that sucker looks heavy!

I would have gone at least 750watts on the PSU.

[Radokin]

Warranty should be around 1 year here in Germany.

My tower is standing vertically ;D I mounted that thing pretty tight so it shouldn’t be loosely mounted on the CPU.

If you say so.. I would send it back ASAP and buy a 750 W one.

But surely other solutions are always welcome.

other solutions are definitely welcome
by no means do I think I have the sole, correct solution!
I’m purely going on a logical theory - PC is OK, replaced power supply, things stop working the longer the PC is on - screams to me power related, but hey, during all the hardware modifying something else could have happened, or it could all just be coincidence and some other hardware is failing.
welcome to computers!!!

with the weight of the CPU heatsink, I’ve used similar ones before, and while they sit tight and cause no issues, I dismantled it after about two years later (can’t remember why) and the motherboard was warped from the sheer weight pulling down over that time.
was really surprising.

with your current GPU requirements, and to give yourself some wiggle room down the track, and budget permitting, get yourself something way higher than you think you need. I’d reconsidered my previous recommendation and go at least 850w.

Alright. Ordered a new PSU..
Gigabyte P850GM 850W is on its way

nice unit, solid warranty - good choice. (y)

Please note that you may have suggested a simple solution but helped me a lot. Thanks.. will report how it goes once it’s installed.

[Bruce]

please do.

[Radokin]

please do.

Unfortunately, it didn’t help. I’m facing the same problems as before.. so I’m just gonna assume it is my main board.

Thanks anyway even it’s really frustrating right now.
