See title. This particular issue stems from GTA5, with every other game I've played save RDR2/RDO not having issues. Whenever the map zooms in and out in loading screens too quickly, or on cayo perico after a few minutes, the monitors instantly cut and the CPU error light on my mobo comes on, along with my GPU's LEDs/lights turning off, I can only turn my computer back on once I turn off and then turn the power supply back on.
I've already swapped my ram (which I believe went bad) with different sticks, and also swapped out my PSU from an EVGA 750w G+ with an EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G6 and this issue still persists. Thermals on both my GPU, CPU and even my VR MOS also never get to a point that would cause concern, and benchmarking my CPU and GPU, with thermals reaching lower 70s doesn't cause this issue either, neither does any other game I play.
As far as I recall I had to turn my settings down in GTA5 to prevent this problem, which has now come back up seeing as I recently upgraded from a 2070 super to a 3090 and figured that the issue was resolved, bare in mind I've had this issue as far back as early 2020 when I first put the computer together.
At this point I'm mostly stumped, as most people say its either overheating or power supply and as far as I can tell its neither. I want to guess its either the motherboard, or the CPU, which was originally at 1.480 volts on auto in the bios, and now 1.3 manually set, but fluctuates between 1.0 and 1.4 at boot and then eventually stays at 1.4 volts on all cores according to OCCT. The behavior of these sudden hard crashes react like a safety measure in response to too much power draw, overheating, or something with power fluctuations.
Also to clarify the previous mention of RDR2/RDO; The issues I have in that game come from USB devices randomly disconnecting and reconnecting while it runs. May be related, at this point I'm very tempted to just put money down on a new mobo and cross my fingers.
Specs:
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
32.0GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4
B450 TOMAHAWK MAX
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090
4TB Hitachi HDD, 2 TB Cruical SSD, 512 GB Silicon Power NVMe
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G6, 80 Plus Gold
EDIT: I should also add that the power supply is not in eco mode & have my USB ports all plugged in w/ a non externally powered USB-C hub with provides more usb connections also filled.
