GPU/ peripherals problem

[sus1u]

Hi,

I’ve had this problem for a while now. When playing certain games my peripherals lose power , GPU also loses power i think because the monitors lose signal and the fans of the GPU stop spinning.

First i thought it would be a PSU problem and changed it recently with a new and bigger PSU and i thought my problem was solved but last night it happened again. I am now thinking this could be a motherboard problem since the GPU loses power and so do the peripherals.

Any other things that could cause this problem ?

PC Specs :

-Temperatures sit at about 80-90 °C ( depending on the game) on my CPU and maybe 65-70 °C on my GPU. Also the CPU has a liquid-cooling kit

• Specs:

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 3.4GHz 16-Core Processor

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB GDDR6 256-bit

Vengeance 32 GB RAM DDRR4 3600 MHz CL18 dual channel

Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC Motherboard

Corsair RMe Series 2025 RM1000e. 80+gold , 1000 W

Thanks!

The RAM is not appropriate for your CPU, AMD state here up to 3200MHz/MT/s and if you have DOCP/EXPO/XMP enabled the RAM will get auto OCd past what the CPU can handle and the PC will become unstable.

As a starting point and while we troubleshoot, disable XMP.

You should also make sure that the Windows Power Plan is set to Balanced and not High Performance or Ryzen Balanced.

Hi phill,

Thanks for your response.

XMP is disabled, never have enabled it. I’ll set the power plan to balanced.

One thing i forgot to mention: when the problem occurs as i said the gpu stops, the peripherals lose power as well but the fans inside the case and the AIO cooler keep running (so does the rgb lighting).

Hello sus1u,

Vengeance 32 GB RAM DDRR4 [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]3600 MHz CL18 dual channel

That is not what you post in your OP is telling us and the information that you provide is what we have to go off.

The latest info that you provided suggests that this is a power issue and being that you have replaced the PSU it could be the MB, the CPU and cooling arrangement are on a seperate power supply from the PSU and commonly a four or eight pin 12V ATX connector which effectively isolates it from the other hardware, the RGB lighting we cannot really comment on as we know nothing about it but if it is powered via RGB headers on the MB the only explanation would be a power draw problem as in the RGB lighting requiring a lower voltage than the other hardware, example, analog RGB lighting is 5V while digital and addressable RGB require 12V.

Couple of things for you to do;

Download MiniToolBox and save the file to the Desktop.

Close the browser and run the tool, check the following options;

List last 10 Event Viewer Errors
List Installed Programs
List Devices (Only Problems)
List Users, Partitions and Memory size

Click on Go.

Post the resulting log in your next reply for us if you will.

Download then run Speccy ( free ) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

You are welcome btw [/color]

Thanks for the clear up.
I have attached the MTB file exported by minitoolbox.

Also have attached the speecy url

I would also try to add a video of the problem when it happens if it helps

Question for you while I go over your MTB log;

Why do you have ASUS armoury crate on a Gigabyte platform MB, It is a problematic software when used with ASUS products and no way should it be installed on another brand of system.

[COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Edit to add: No surprises really but the first issue list in the MTB log is AcPowerNotification.exe which just so happens to be the armoury crate crap.[/COLOR]
