Upgraded - now get issues when pc has been idle

MeatLoaf · 28 Jun 2022 at 23:58

Upgraded my rig today from a ryzen 3600 to a 5700X and from a 1070ti to a 3080. Also changed from a 650W corsair to a 850w corsair psu. Nothing else has changed, mobo ram etc.

Memory has passed memtest no issue, mobo bios on latest version ( to support the cpu )

I havent done a windows reinstall but i could do - but if ive got to reinstall anyway ill probably get a new B550 or X570 mobo.

The rig runs no issues when gaming and in general use. But if i leave the pc for half an hour its not responsive. Mouse moves but buttons click and stay depressed and i have to hard rest.

Whats causing this? Ive updated all the drivers.

During this time is your pc going into standby, and by any chance do you have a second monitor/tv attached not powered on, mine had this issue with the last set of drivers once its gone into stand by out wouldn't resume and needed a hard restart.
It's listed in the current drivers as an open issue, possibility ?

No just the one monitor. Only done it once so far today

I've seen a similar issue when some of the old GPU driver is left behind and you essentially have two versions running simultaneously. If I recall you shouldn't have to as the driver is unified for NVidia cards, but a clean GPU driver installation never hurts. Windows may also have helpfully tried to change it for you upon detecting new hardware.

Edit: From another angle, is something overheating or not applying a fan profile correctly? I used to suffer from lockups due to GPU overheat, the fan curve had reset in the driver and never span up above minimal (around 20%).

Are you using the old psu cables from the 650W psu?

Well new board installed friday evening and touch wood the issue seems to have gone away.

I didnt need to reinstall windows which was a suprise but i did need to reactivate it.

Will probably do a reinstall at some point tho.

Glad it's sorted the issues, I wouldn't bother reinstalling as long as it's performing as it should, although I've not reinstalled in over 6 years now and upgraded to 11, although posting this somethings bound to die now lol.

Glad the issue has gone away. Would be good to do a reinstall but only really needed if you have some issues with windows itself.
