Computer issue - rebooting

If it's software releated problem (that includes windows itself) sometimes it's hard to pinpoint the conflict so wiping the computer clean gives you a fresh starting point.

Certainly something that I could try but hard to think this is the issue.

It can sometimes take up to 45 minutes for the computer to trip and reboot.

We've all mentioned thermals but a computer that has thermal issues usually turns itself and stays off for a while to protect itself.

This has to be hardware but I'm willing to try anything to resolve it.

Ref the Overclockers lack of contact, would it be worth going straight to Asus?

Its a process of elimination what's left after that is usually the answer , but I know what your saying.

No go threw Overclockers first , call them I find is better.

During gaming sessions my computer is randomly rebooting. Just completely cuts power and then instantly starts up again loading to the desktop. No down time

does the pc switch off and then power back on? sounds like the cpu could be hitting thermal limits, i'd check the cooler mounting, how are cpu temps at idle and what does it reach under load?

It acts as if you've just pushed the reset switch. The CPU only throttles during a stress test and at 95c. During the game it gets to 67c. Not even close to it's limits. At idle it just fluctuates up and down

was this am5 build to replace a older pc you had and if so was your old build a intel machine? if so when you built the new pc did you clean install or take windows install from the old pc and use on the new pc?

Yes and no. Heat, voltage irregularities and so on can cause the system to protect itself but you can be below that threshold and still get logic issues from the cpu creeping in. Here is something I pulled from the net

"If a CPU is over clocked and overheats, some of the transistors will be unable to change to the input value when the next clock strobe comes. So errors come the slowest transistors on the chip."

That aside for the moment, I agree It could many other things could be setting it off.

Can you post more information?

Has this system ever worked ok? You mentioned the 6900xt, any other changes?

Is it just gaming that triggers it? Any game? What stress testing have you done?

I recently revamped my old 8700k system, wanted to play starfield and cyberpunk amongst others. I bought a case, an aio and a second hand 6900xt (it might be your old one lol). It crashed/froze often, the big culprit was amd's low lag/display anti lag option.
It didn't play nice with my av unit but I didn't know that at the time, it started up fine. Looking back it made sense because I was running a 10m hdmi into an av unit which was passing the signal to the display. Try anti lagging that!

Maybe try switching off any additional nvidia gpu options?
 
I think i've figured it out, I read not long ago here on the forums, owners of fe 30 series cards with ddr5 are having problems with ddr5 overheating from the flow through design of the fe cards when they are under load, DDR5 is very funny if it gets hot and can cause all kinds of problems

If you can point a spare fan at your ram and start a game up and see what happens, if your memory supports temp readouts download hwinfo64 and there should be a memory temp readout within, if so you want to keep below 70c ideally for ddr5.

As I've mentioned already, the issue was present when I had a Radeon 6900xt also
