Hi all, this thread is more of a confirming of my suspicions before I go looking to spend any money for the sake of it.
I recently purchased a 5600 XT Red Dragon and it performs flawlessly with its updated BIOS however now that I have some shiny new hardware I have jumped on the Folding bandwagon.
I am finding that if I have the GPU folding at the same time as the CPU then I will experience either a system reboot due to an apparent graphics driver crash as described in Event Viewer or a hard lock requiring a cold boot.
If I just have the GPU folding by itself then it will be happily loaded at 100% with the core speed sitting at 1750Mhz according the Radeon Software. Likewise the same can be said of the CPU, I've put the max clock to 4000Mhz in Ryzen Master @ 1.3v and it will sit at 100% load fine.
My PSU is a Corsair HX620 Modular unit and owned it about 8-10 years old from new. I would like to think it would be man enough to power the system however due to its age I wonder whether that is now the weak link.
Any thoughts would be welcomed and if it is indeed the PSU, a suitable replacement that won't break the bank; PSU prices seem a bit ludicrous £/Watt compared to when I bought my existing one however I understand times change.
Thanks
