The PC is now stable on its side, miraculously. There are no reboots at all. There is a new bios update for compatibility with Win 11, and I haven't installed it yet. The sticks are held as securely as possible, I think. Honestly, I'm pretty scared to return the PC to its conventional vertical...

Maybe I have found a solution - put the PC horizontally. :/ It is just an assumption as not enough time has passed but it's been almost half a day with no constant reboots. Are my memory sticks really holding to the motherboard so badly?.. I do feel like the motherboard curves back when I...

The system didn't reboot under stress though. Doesn't it mean that the temperatures are not the case? 20 mins later though when I was just browsing the web it tried to reboot but after showing me the ASUS logo the USBs, fan RGB and monitor turned off with the CPU fan still running. It took me...

Ran some quick 10 mins furmark tests for CPU and GPU. CPU goes up to 54 °C . GPU goes up to 74 °C with the clock speed dropping to ~1755 Mhz from 1822 Mhz at the beginning of the test (didn't do any overclocking). No PC reboots

How can I make sure the PSU is/is not the case? Run more some system stable tests?

It just rebooted itself again. I'm just browsing the web. But I did play games some hours ago for a couple of hours and everything was fine. About how stable the RAM sticks are placed - I've put them out and in so many times that I'm sure I can't be placing them half-stable. Also if I get them...

The PSU might be bad? But it's 650w and has bronze certificate? The system also doesn't consistently turn off during the gaming sessions or rendering. How can I check it further?

Well, I did try turning off the overclock but the thing is that these reboots are very inconsistent. Yesterday they happened throughout all the evening every 2-3 minutes but today everything's fine. I haven't changed a thing except taking the memory chips out and putting them in. I didn't try...

Of course, sorry. Edited them in

Yesterday my PC rebooted every 2-3 minutes. I blame the memory chips. Because if I don't get them off the slots and put them in again, the PC doesn't boot up (CPU fan running, no display signal, no usb inputs) unless I try to put the chips out and in and blow on them for about 10 times. The...

Take, for instance, Lightshot. When I press the PrtSc button an overlay appears in which I can select area, add text, etc. How does the app do it? I mean, it stores the screen image somewhere before letting me customize it, right? And how does an overlay work and how does it take over? I mean...

I have to take my word back, they do not differ significantly in R6: Siege. Wow. In this game nothing causes any trouble at all anymore. I guess, they optimized it? The GPU is at 80% though. But BF1, COD: Warzone, even Fortnite and TF2... There the GPU's load drops down to around 50-80% on low...

Yeah, running at 3000 MHz. I'm gonna double check everything with RivaTurner when running the benchmark

Uh... I don't doubt Hardware Unboxed's results but according to them I'm good to go with my r5 1600 as r5 5600 will be almost the same which is baffling because I'm very frequently seeing my GPU underperforming. I'm on my way to downloading R6: Siege where I'm almost certain the benchmark's...

Hm, in this case I guess the most reasonable thing for me to do is to upgrade to 3600 without switching over to the B550 motherboard as the chipset is at its end anyway, right? 5600x is more powerful but we are talking 200$ vs 430$ for upgrading to 3600/5600 respectively with about 20%...
