Last Christmas I bought and built my first gaming PC - Specs below.
- AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU - 12 cores 3.7 GHz
- Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 GAMING OC - 10GB GDDR6 RAM
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
- NZXT C-Series Gold C1000 Strømforsyning - 1000 Wat
- Crucial P5 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
- NZXT N7 B550
- NZXT Kraken X63 98.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- NZXT H510 Flow ATX Mid Tower Case
- Microsoft Windows 11 Home OEM - DVD 64-bit
After a while the computer started to reboot when idling or high performing in example games like ESO, Fortnite and Cyperpunk mainly. I tried everything for troubleshooting and searched the internet likecrazy for a solution but no reel answers or solutions were found.
First I thing I was thinking was an overheat or underperforming power supply. Tried both optimizing cooling and switching to a larger power supply to cope the pressure but little would it help and the same reboot would keep happening.
Then I tried to switch out to another set of RAM sticks to see whether they were to blame but nothing changed and the PC kept rebooting.
Whenever the reboot happened the below screen were shown just before. Never being able to activate a link through the QR code.
Finally I tried to switch out the CPU ... AND the issue seems to be solved have been running a fair two weeks of intense gaming on ultra settings in ESO and not one single reboot.. YEAH!!
I switched to the following CPU:
- AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor 3.90 GHz
Now I will await the verdict of the claim I have made against the hopefully "broken CPU" I had before.
Hope I can assist others with the same issue or engage in a talk about what could be the reason that the Ryzen 9 fails??
