Drivers & Software

[jkehler]

I recently built my first PC. It was working fine for the first few days until I began to have random PC crashes with no BSOD. These crashes would happen once every few days. They would happen during games, but also at random times when I am just browsing the internet or even while configuring iCue settings. A few days ago I got my first crash with a BSOD. The error was Status_Device_Power_Failure. When I check my drivers list I now see that my AMD PSP 11.0 device has a yellow triangle beside it and has that same error message in its device status. I have tried using both version 5.24.0.0 and version 5.25.0.0 but neither have worked. I tried re-installing windows 11 and now my crashes are back to occurring without a BSOD. Any suggestions on other steps to try?

Operating System: Windows 11 

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32GB 6000MHz CL30

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7700        

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 aorus pro ax

Video Card: Gigabyte RTX 4070

I've had similar random crashes over the months with a brand new Asus TUF B450 board, only to recently realize that my Corsair Vengeance was not capable of sustaining its max advertised clocks.

If you have configured your RAM as XMP, make sure your frequencies/timings are not too aggressive. In my case it was definitely the culprit. The hardware was fine, the RAM settings were wrong.

I also thought this could have been the problem. I turned my EXPO profile off a couple days ago and I still have been getting crashes.

Bios up to date?

Bios is up to date.

Might be a faulty PSU. Try OCCT power load test for a few minutes to see if you can pass that.

Just tried a OCCT power load test for 10 minutes. No errors detected there.
