That makes sense. Thanks again for all of your input, its been completely invaluable to me!

Sorry, I don't think I was clear in the last post. I just bought a seasonic focus 850W for the new PC, I will buy a second identical PSU dedicated to the GPU's (as you say, power draw is going way up these days). My question was only if I should replace the faulty sf600 with another sf600, or...

It looks like you were right, I'm not 100% certain yet but it very much looks like it was the PSU at fault. As I'll soon be building another PC, I decided to just buy the PSU for that build now, as I could determine if I need to replace the sf600 in my dancase pc. I will RMA the faulty PSU as...

Thanks, I really appreciate you taking a look. I will give that a go. I will be building a new PC next year so decided to buy the PSU now, which means I will be able to test the PSU also. The most irritating thing about the crash is that it comes and goes. It may take weeks to know it's gone for...

Whoa, that's a strange issue! hope it continues to run stable. Thanks!

Thanks, that would be very helpful.

Just got another crash to black screen followed by an automatic restart. This time in the reliability history it was reported as 'shut down unexpectedly', technical details say 'blue screen 133'

That would be very helpful, thank you. You can download from here: https://we.tl/t-vliwaJmNO2

I'm facing exactly the same issue right now, using 3dsmax. Did you find a solution for this? I'm pulling my hair out trying to get it resolved.

Black screens have returned just as I'm starting work again. Bios suggests voltages are well within the tolerances. I'm going to borrow a multi meter tonight and try to check the voltages. Odd thing is, the black screens came after another bunch of windows updates. Anyway I accept that it's...

Interesting, I will look into that and try to find a repair shop to check things. It's an AIO build in a dancase a4, so has to be taken apart in a very specific order (remove cooler to access ram etc) so I've been reluctant to take it to a repair shop in case they are not comfortable with the...

Yeah, I'm not liking the way this is going, I REALLY don't want to find the A5000 has issues :( One of the critical events was GameInput Host Service, which occurred just after 'windows was not properly shut down', but it was just on one occasion and it seemed to occur after the crash. Does this...

Wow, I didn't know reliability history existed. There were two occasions stating hardware errors, here is what came up: The rest of the errors say computer was not shut down correctly (presumably that's me holding down the off switch to restart). I guess that would suggest a gpu issue? I'm...

Yes, I've been really hoping it's not a bad PSU, because I have no good way to test it as I don't currently have another PSU here. If it continues I guess I will have to test that, but it would be a last resort for me. The last black screen was on Friday so I will have to see it it comes back...

Nothing out of the ordinary. It varies but my CPU gets to max 80c while stress testing. GPU is an A series so runs very cool, I haven't seen it about 60c. I haven't had the black screen in a few days now. It's very frustrating because one day I can't even get past the login screen, then only...
