I noticed some artifacting while playing a game earlier and the same problem seems to be causing some of my programs to randomly close. I removed the GPU and ram to blow everything out with air and after putting everything back in it no longer boots. Initially the debug light stuck on the VGA...

CPU Z is showing it as MS-7C02. Should be the most up to date version.

Hey there sorry for the late reply. The BT dongle is a "Kinivo BTD-400 Bluetooth 4.0" (I think). My MOBO is an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max running on bios version 3.E0. I also have a 1000 watt EVGA PSU. Not sure of the exact model but it is less than a year old.

Hi, I have had this issue for about a week now. Every day at a random time my computer will completely restart instantly with no warning or BSOD. I got a minidump from the first time that it happened but windows has not given me another since the first time. This is what I get when I analyze...

Thank you both so much for all that information. Everything is running generally better now that I've left the OC to PBO and just upped my CPU fan speeds. Which seems to be a decent fix for now. I have tried using the DRAM Calculator before and I wasn't able to get it to work well. I have 4...

This seems like the move. I have gotten my 3080 back and fixed now so I think I will keep this CPU OC'd at about 4.1Ghz as it's getting better frames than with the 1060 obviously (CPU seems to be stable with decent temps ~70c give or take while gaming). Sorry to keep the questions coming but you...

So if I were to get some sort of AIO water cooler than PBO would do a much better job of OCing itself? Do you have any idea what the OC would look like under ideal temps?

That's all really good info thank you for that. I had been using the undervolt at about -.05 and that seemed to help some. I have an evo 212 sitting around somewhere but I think I initially stuck with the stock wraith prism just because the evo would either not fit or barely fit in this NZXT...

Been watching them. They never go above about 55c from what I've seen. HWiNFO also says there is no thermal throttling going on. I just ran Userbenchmark after a restart of my PC. Core clocks are at 4,248.8Mhz and core temps peaked at 70.8C. From what I just read this processor should not...

Hi all, I've been trying to OC my Ryzen 7 2700x for the last day or so. I've read lots of different things and followed different guides but none of them seem to be working right. PC specs listed below. I have tried multiple combinations of PBO and Core Boost. When I use those my CPU normally...

I guess that's the plan then. I'm still going to try and fix it since it's the weekend but I will reach out to MSI on Monday.

From what I've seen, that is within the right to repair but I could be wrong. Again, I know for sure that the card is not dead since it showed up exactly like normal in GPUZ with the correct live stats. As far as resetting BIOS are you referring to the mobo bios or the gpu bios? I have done a...

My RTX 3080 had been running incredibly hot (sometimes up to 116c for the VRAM) and I had seen lots of posts about this issue. Everyone obviously recommended changing thermal pads on the VRAM and reapplying thermal paste to drop temperatures. I had also seen posts by these people who had shown...

I am trying to wait until that's my final option. I feel like that process is going to end up taking a couple of weeks to a month most likely. Can you think of any other possible things I could try before I proceed with that process?
