i was getting random system shutdowns in the past with the Red Devil 7900 XT and now with swapping to the Red Devil 7900 XTX i get a frozen Windows 10 with clean installation, high idle power still with clean files updated b650 aorus elite atx i am also using ddr5 5200mhz.

I am lost, is my PSU faulty or does the gpu shut down?

What does this mean?
 
It should, do you have one now?

I am using a Corsair RMx 1000 Gold.

I only have a Red devil 7900 XT though.

Bequiet PSU calc estimates I use 670 total with current set up.
Corsair PSU calc suggests only a 750 for it.

the AMD ANR function would appear to be GPU drivers. I do find other people with the 7900 xtx reporting that event

red devil 7900xtx freezing

i was getting random system shutdowns in the past with the red devil 7900xt and now with swapping to the red devil 7900xtx i get a frozen windows 10 with clean installation
PSU wouldn't cause freezing, it would cause power loss. Freezing is more likely drivers.

are you using separate power cables for each pcie connection on GPU?
error can be caused by some games too - https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/7900xtx-driver-timeout/td-p/595582

Where did you get adrenalin from? Are you on 23.9.1

yes i am on lastest driver directly from amd site not auto detect the tricky thing is to know if windows is replacing my drivers or its overloading my system and causing hard crashes but is it possible a hard crash with a driver? and yes separate cables 3 8 pin connectors
 
surge protectors are alright, but yours might have a misconfigured threshold, resulting in any small variance tripping it.
mine is built into my cyperpower ups, and what voltage it engages at is configured via software.
surge protector without ups is a silly idea anyway, it'll shut down the pc, instead of switching to battery.
 
the surge protector may not be working properly (might be too sensitive, or works fine and power is just too dirty) and shuts down the pc very often. does it happen in gaming load only or desktop too ?
