So CPU, ram and monitor are new rest of the system as been solid for a long time but the new CPU and higher res screen as let the other handwear stretch its legs so i dont know what to blame

CPU - 5700x3d
Ram - 32gb Trident Z 3600mhz cl18
mobo - MPG edge x570
GPU - 4070s Aorus
PSU - RM 750x

im running Testmem5 now. its a strange one, my oldest son was playing for hours then just black and reboot

temps are all fine from what i can see and thats normally the reason for just black in my experience

I'd turn off XMP and/or downclock the graphics card and see if it runs stable.
Yer I’ll give that a go.

I would probably guess it's the CPU imc not able to run 3600c18. Get pumping with the voltages :)
I really can’t see this been the problem. Back in the day yes. But now we the newer cpus.

I have 2 3600’s one dose 3600mhz and the other max’s at 2800mhz. But surely that should be a history now.
I was hoping for some OC room

I’ll test with out xmp and I’ll test the ram in a different system if that’s the problem I’ll RMA the cpu, I don’t feel running under 3600 is acceptable
 
Yes bios was done before the chip end it.

nothing is Over clocked apart from the xmp.
When I get home I’ll test without xmp. I can’t get the system to black screen. It just at random.
I was thinking psu. But 750w should be fine.
in games the GPU would sit at about 50% usage and the new cpu I now see 100% load and about 70% on the cpu, I thought maybe the new load could be doing the psu
 
So system as passed testmem5 or extreme and passed one pass so far of memtest86 at xmp. Would this be good or could it still be a controller problem
 
If it helps you at all, I couldn’t replicate that PSU ‘power spiking’ issue at all via tests / benchmarking. It was only in game. It’s for such a short period of time that it’s undetectable by monitoring software… which is why it’s such a nightmare to spot.

Also, when it did reboot there was sort of a ‘click’ sound - which is apparently common when a PSU is doing a safety reset but the absence of this noise doesn’t confirm it either way.

If you’ve done extensive benchmarking / tests and nothing is coming up, I think the ‘black screen / reboot’ is likely a PSU / power issue.

What does the windows error log say btw? It should record a fatal error.

i will be gaming tonight for a few hours so im installing squads on this system to play with. see if i can get it to do the same
 
just humour me and play with the 5700x3d's voltages...stick these in:
Vsoc = 1.1V
Vddp = 1.0V
vddg = 1.0V

(they're safe voltages, no harm will come to the cpu)

so soc is at 1.13, vddp i can set but vddg as strage options i can just set a voltage
so VDDG is auto or global. the 2 options you ser under VDDG are what pops up after setting Global and no auto
