Seasonic should be good for 10 years. My X900 lasted that long with no faults and I only changed it as it's 10 years old. It should also still be covered by the 10 year warranty if you do have a problem with it. Not sure how you go about testing the PSU at home though TBH. Maybe contact Seasonic and see what they say.
Compatibility issue with X570 and 32GB(2x16) RAM(Solved, PSU was faulty)

Seasonic should be good for 10 years. My X900 lasted that long with no faults and I only changed it as it's 10 years old. It should also still be covered by the 10 year warranty if you do have a problem with it. Not sure how you go about testing the PSU at home though TBH. Maybe contact Seasonic and see what they say.
Anyway I would need to buy new one to test with if I send it to them. Any recommendations to PSU?
Not sure if you're aware but not all Seasonics are the same, I've recently read about people having issues with their cheaper PSUs on higher end systems getting issues. Going by reviews a quarter to a third of buyers were getting issues with this model.
I've had Seasonics in there form of Corsair AX750 x2 both 9 years no issues and my current one is fine too. They are/were however some of their best models.
Ordered Seasonic Prime GX 850W 80+ Gold and will be with me on Wednesday. Ram sticks arriving tomorrow.
Fingers crossed that resolves your issues. Must very frustrating, I hate trying to troubleshoot PC issues. Easy to fix but sometimes so hard to find!
Problem is mobo, ram and cpu are new and can be any of them or just ram not friendly for my mobo. If ram arrive tomorrow and will work stable means ram was bad. If issues carry on will change psu on Wednesday. If still have issues will RMA Mobo and get new one. If with new mobo will be the issue then CPU as I can't see the other options.
Hopefully they all have the same 10 year warranty. It's worth knowing that there are good and not so good Seasonic PSUs though. How do you pick out the good ones from a list on PC Part picker or similar?
I'd pick a model your interested in then search for reviews. Johnny Guru was a good site not sure what's happening now he's working for Corsair. Generally though the higher price ones will have better quality components. Also look out for deals, picked up my 750W Titanium for £135 from OCUK. It is a white one but hidden away in my case so makes no difference.
As far as I know above gold not needed if I dont plan overclock. I just want sytem to be stable.
Btw I did some gaming tests and league of legends I can play for 2-3h with obs streaming with no shutdown but if play wow or gears tactic I got random shutdown. Will try some Minecraft dungeons later on but new ram arriving today then this will be different story I hope.

I see you mention Kernel Power 41 errors.
As a long shot, try disabling 'Fast Boot' in the BIOS, and raising LLC (loadline calibration) a notch. Worth a go...
Also, in Windows, System: Power & Sleep: Additional Power Settings: Change what the Power Buttons do: Change settings that are currently unavailable - disable Fast Startup.
This has been known to cause issues for some folk. Cured an episode of crashiitis for me a few months ago...

Did try that before and no luck. Read 41 just saying your aystem was shutdown wrong way meaning windows don't have log and don't know why. Did try balanced ryzen and performance ryzen power settings.
You're correct, above Gold you won't get your money back in power savings. Mine was at a £75 discount so made sense and they do build their high end PSUs better. Might be overkill but touch wood I've hardly ever had and stability issues outside of silly RAM settings
I did try most of the settings possible and on all intel setups never had issue with ram. Made move for amd as doing more rendering now and wanted to try amd platform after more than 5 years running intel and this is just nightmare! Can't get stable even on default where on all my intel platform was no problem. Usually boost aor xmp did work like apple phoneYou're correct, above Gold you won't get your money back in power savings.

Did you disable the Fast startup option too? Both Windows and BIOS?
Yes, all software related settings ware tasted before I went to hardware testing/tuning.
I got in to the problem when 1st time i did run gears tactic and my pc was crushing and I fought its the game and did carry on. Did my benchmarks and all did pass then I played lol casually and other 2d games like oxygen not included and all was fine. Then I did run wow to see how it looks like on my new rig and bam after 2h game shutdown same as in gears tactic. Then I went for software related settings/tuning and no luck then I went for ram testing as xmp never worked on my rig as it should. Did run out of options then came here. Past week was testing ram ralated settings and no luck.
System is 3-4 weeks old. Cpu, mobo, ram new. Gpu 1080ti old and psu(5years) old. Cant be gpu as I would get more like blue errors or windows would log it or leds on gpu would show me the issue and they don't.
All temps are fine. None of the components going above 60'C.
Ram was never stable from begining. When set xmp bios can't read it and in windows shows as 2133. Setting manually ram at 3200 without fclk and still running at 2133. When setting flck on 1600 see it as 3200 but then no stable in games. Funny part is no matter settings i do all benchmarks passes as its make no sense to me and then I run the game like wow or gears tactic and random shutdown.
2h for new ram to arrive fingers crossed!

The thing with games making the PC shutdown could be that the GPU is drawing too much current from one rail of the PSU during high FPS. It used to be that you had to have your GPU connected to a different rail than the CPU and if you had two high power GPUs they each needed to run off a different rail depending on PSU design. Some high power GPUS needed two rails on their own so you had to be careful which cable you used from the PSU to the GPU. That said, all PSUs might be single rail these days for all I know.
Anyway, if your GPU draws too much power from one part of the PSU it would make the PC shut down suddenly as a safety feature so that could be what's happening.

Update with new ram:
8 Pack Team Group 16gb kit (2x8gb) DDR4 3600 CL 14-15-15-35 1.45v
All 4 are in slots A2, B2 and A1, B1. XMP on,
So far test:
In cinebenchr20 passed no issues
In intelburn 4 runs on high no issues
In howsomething(forgot the name) rendering in 4k no issues
In Frumark after 10 mins no issues gpu temp 40'C which is super low imo.
In aida had issue and cant find what did fail. All I can see is what on pics in the link:
Test 1 aida https://imgur.com/gallery/aslGEKP

Looks encouraging! Aside from the Aida bit. .
Fallow up on this thread as its new ram kit https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...stability-on-gigabyte-x570-gaming-x.18888328/
