New 7900 XTX Sapphire Nitro+ System crash

Good evening!
Seeing i cant find any recent post after the last driver update (23.1.1)
 i am curious if anyone else is still struggling with system crash?

I got my sapphire nitro+ yesterday, and after much excitement with installing the card it was just a huge letdown..

after about 5-10mins of gaming my system crashes, repeatingly and wont turn on before 3-4 mins later.


Spec:
Ryzen 9 5900x
7900 XTX Sapphire Nitro+
3200mhz 16gb ram
Win10 (Latest build)
Be Quiet Straight power 11 850w.

So after beein in touch with be quiet support and redone all my cables etc i still have the crashes happening.
Be quiet team insist my 850w should be enough, which i do agree too ofc.
While playing War thunder (only game ive bothered with yet) i see no spikes in wattage, it stays firm at 400.
and my temps are steady in the 70s.

What else is there to do? just sit back and wait for a fix? or am i overlooking something?

Thanks in advance.

you surely have some kind of instability related to ram or psu or mb

usual thing to check :

you have 2 separate cables from psu to gpu (no 1 cable dividing in two connectors ) ?

is your motherboard bios up to date ?

then, can you try with ram setting to default (no xmp/docp/...)

1 cable for each of the PCIe slots on my psu. so 1to1 from psu - gpu..
did a bios update on my mobo 1 hour ago, still crashing within same timeslots..
xmp on/off made no difference.

Reseated gpu now, gonna give it a couple of goe

Hello folks

So I also have problems with my 7900xtx Nitro.

I use: 5600x / x570 i Gaming/ 32 gb Trident z Neo 3600 mhz/ Windows 11. 850w Sfx Cooler Master & Be quiet 1200w Dark Power Pro. 2 PCI cables 1x daisy chain.

Windows keeps freezing on me. Even in the bios or during the windows installation.

With my Gtx 1080ti my system ran and still runs without any problems. However, as soon as I install the Sapphire, Windows hangs after a few minutes.

If I'm lucky and install Adrenaline, after restarting or freezing Windows, "Microsoft Basic Display" comes back and then another crash. Actually, I can't do anything without Windows hanging.
Strange things I've noticed: On desktop, the Sapphire jumps from 5% to 99% GPU usage and back again. The clock goes to 3100 MHZ in the desktop and back again. The temperature stays at just over 40 degrees. Graphics card information is not displayed in the bios. Bios shows

AMD graphics card only. The only thing I haven't tried is connecting the graphics card directly to the motherboard. I use a PCI 4 riser cable. This works fine with the 1080ti.

I also had a constant black image with image errors during the Adrenalin installation, which is why I think the GPU is not OK, what do you think?

I also have tried different Ports and DP/Hdmi Cables. Latest Bios (not Beta) and Windows Updates (new installation on a new M.2)

In terms of one cable per 8 pin connector, I can only shake my head. It can't be that I need 3 cables for a be quiet Platinum PSU with 1200 watt (all daisy chains) and then there are 3 more 8-pin connections hanging around( 6x 8-Pins total) ...

Greeting
