PC is shutting down only while gaming (usually about an hour or less into Warzone). Hard shutdown, no error message, everything goes black and I have to flip the PSU switch to reboot. Event logs show nothing.
Current specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x
- Cooler: Lian Ali Galahad 240mm AIO
- GPU: RTX 3070
- Motherboard: b550 aorus pro AC
- Memory: Corsair vengeance 3600 32gb
- PSU: Corsair cxm650 Watt
I built my pc about a year and a half ago, and decided to upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 7 5800x (going from Ryzen 7 3800x). I also purchased a Lian Li AIO liquid cooler (previously used Stock wraith cooler). I flashed the bios to newest version (F14) before the CPU swap. Ever since my upgrade, my computer will shut off completely, with no error or bsod, but only while gaming. This has never happened on my previous build.
I have monitored temps of CPU and GPU and nothing is too hot, CPU is not getting above 70 while gaming. I also ran an OCCT stress test on the CPU for an hour, and nothing crashed.
I’ve tried so many different things. Clearing CMOS, trying different BIOS versions, swapping to different ram, turning of PBO and any other boost settings, as well as leaving XMP off. I am not overclocking anything.
I even tried remounting my AIO to make sure it was seated properly on the CPU.
At this point I’m about to return the 5800x and cooler, because at least my old CPU was stable. I don’t know if it’s motherboard, PSU, GPU, CPU, or RAM causing this.
anyone have any thoughts or experiencing something similar?
It just seems like a weird coincidence that my PSU or MOBO would go out the same time I swap in a new CPU.
