Boot Error. M.2 ? Windows ?

[JamFtw]

Hey guys so only really seems to happen if I’m playing call of duty but my pc will crash and the “boot” light on my motherboard flashes. Computer immediately turns back on and is fine every time.
I am using a pretty new Kingston m.2. I have updated the firmware for the m.2 (wasn’t actually aware there was firmware for hard drives)
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
MSI X570 WIFI EDGE
I really don’t think the m.2 is faulty as I ran a few test and also Kingston’s program says the health is 100%
I thought I likely had a corrupt windows file. I did a sfc /scannow and it actually told me that there was a corrupted file and it was fixed. I was sure that was the problem but here we are again pc crashed while playing and the same “boot” light on the mobo flashed.
Here are pics the MEMTEST i ran lastnight. passed with 0 problems.

Sort of stumped as i am fairly sure the m.2 is not faulty.

I will look it over.

1. Have you overclocked your ram in the bios
2. Can you change your power setting off high performance
3. Make and model + wattage of your power supply
   Please

1. I do have xmp mode on just because the timings and everything matched perfect. is rather high. 4000 mhz. Has been stable in the past though. Even without xmp I think when first put in was at 4000 mhz.
2. Yes sir! will do that right away.
3. EVGA 850 b3

Your Bios also allows for cpu adjustments - have you played with them?

For testing can you reset bios to default

Your cpu supports - 4000MHz seems high
2x1R
DDR4-3200
2x2R
DDR4-3200
4x1R
DDR4-2933
4x2R
DDR4-2667

I had gameboost on which boost my cpu.
everything is now at default. ram is at 2133.
can i set to atleast 3200 for testing purposes ? definetly wont be playing at 2133. lol

just wondering could my extra ssd’s or hardrive interfere with anything ? have 2x ssd’s and a HD

Yes try for 3200 (2133 should work as it is not metioned about speed only how much 12gb you have 32)
Also can you download a program to test the heat whilst playing
This should be ok Core Temp

With Call Of Duty Warzone running, open Task Manager and select the Processes tab. Sometimes, overheating is preceded by too much CPU and/or GPU load. If both these columns are showing 100% most of the time, it’s possible that your PC may be reaching a breaking point at certain points causing it to reboot by itself.
If needed, close unnecessary applications so that only the game use your system’s

they all take extra power - I would leave plugged in
Your power supply is moderate from what I can find - BUT I anm not an expert on power supplies.
Your Video card alone nedds a 750W power supply
Add to that cpu cooler fan/ waterpump plus all the fancy lights (if you use them)
Plus how many fans in the tower all add up.

Try the bits above and see what happens - if no difference I will ask our PSU expert to have a look
I also notice you have some updates pending

okay. i will update. but yeah please have a psu dude look into if you can! i mean its a 16 core cpu. ive got the noctua cpu cooler. maybe do need to upgrade the psu. but at one point my system was stable. not sure exactly what changed. (have wiped out my system since)

[PeterOz]

Old age- how old is psu
Did you run task manager and temp reader
can we have a screen shot of temps

[PeterOz]

(have wiped out my system since)

Did you reinstall the chipset drivers

its not that old not sure exactly. but i bought it brand new like 3 years ago max maybe.
are some temps not in that memtest run ? just like you want temps on cod or ?
i reinstalled my chipset driver. seems like maybe i couldve missed them as i wiped out a few times.

i appreaciate all the help. im going to test it out and will report back

Hey so turns out msi afterburner was applying an overclock to my gpu. it was actually quite modest. but it seems that was the problem. have not tested in intensively yet. but so far so good!
thanks for all the help everyone!

[Bruce]

no worries.
thanks for the update and if you ever need future help, pop back.
