    Question Pc keeps crashing - black screen, red cpu light on

    Yeah, Event 41 and 172 - Kernel Power Event 55 - Kernel-Processor-Power Event 6008 - Eventlog Event 7000 - Service Control Manager, which says AmdRyzenMasterDriverV29 failed to start because it cannot find the file specified. Not sure if that’s because of the crash or something to look into...

    Question Pc keeps crashing - black screen, red cpu light on

    Apologies. I just tried putting a house fan beside the open case, blowing air directly on the cpu. Although the pc still did crash, i feel like it persevered a little longer than usual. Would you argue that maybe the VRM just isn’t cutting it for this cpu?

    Question Pc keeps crashing - black screen, red cpu light on

    I’m unable to see temps for individual threads in iCUE, but the cpu was sitting at 62 degrees when it crashed just now as I booted up a demanding program. As for the 5900x and AIO, they are both brand new. I bought them together as I needed something better than my old stock wraith stealth...

    Question Pc keeps crashing - black screen, red cpu light on

    Interesting. My case is pretty much open at the moment anyway (all panels off) as I try to figure out the issue but I am using a Corsair 4000x. In terms of fans, there are three included SP120 Elites at the front, an AF120 Elite at the back, and the aio radiator fitted with two QX120. I did...

    Question Pc keeps crashing - black screen, red cpu light on

    Hey everyone. So I recently upgraded my cpu from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 9 5900x, as I use my pc predominantly for music production, and big projects were becoming very cpu intensive. The 5900x has been fine for basic tasks, but when working on specific demanding projects, the computer crashes...

    Question PC Build Help

    Hey guys, a few years back I was here on the forums planning my first pc build, but after covid and the whole frenzy of expensive parts and stock shortages that ensued, I sort of put the project on hold for a bit with the intention of returning to it later. A few years have passed and I am...

    [SOLVED] Best graphics card for my build - $600-700 AUD budget

    I'm putting together my first build and am struggling to find a suitable graphics card. My budget is around $600-700 AUD. I've been leaning more towards the Geforce RTX 2060 Super Gaming as i've heard it is great for mid-range builds. Though the AMD Radeon RX 5700, which is in a similar price...
