Question Dying AIO or CPU 😧

[VictoryAudio]

My machine has been randomly turning off while under load. (Gaming or using video editing & audio softwares) I put it down to thermals and my aio needing refilled, (pure loop 360mm) which I did. But since then the computer will crash far more frequently.

The system is so unstable I can't even get logged in to have the chance to monitor the thermals or troubleshoot before it turns off, which it will also do in BIOS

It's only a 3 year old aio, I wonder if anybody has had a similar experience and was able to revive theirs without major surgery, cos at that stage I'd just replace it!

All of the fans are turning, the pump led is on too and the radiator hasn't leaked so I'm confused as to why the performance is so bad now☹

Thanks!

Get yourself a cheap air cooler so you can at least test your theory. Always handy to have around:

If you think your AIO's having an issue cooling your processor, might want to revert to an air cooler and see if that alleviates the issue. If you think it's the CPU, source(borrow, not buy) another processor that your motherboard will accept and then see if the issue is averted.

What BIOS version are you on? You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age. What were you working prior to the RTX3060Ti?

make sure the cooler is still installed properly.
if it isn't still making a firm contact then it could just need to be reattached.

there's still a chance you are suffering from a completely different issue though.
include your complete system specs with make & model of ALL components.

Hey folks thanks for your replies!

As advised I borrowed a cooler from a pal after testing with my dodgey cooler some more, and now the machine isn't turning off anywhere bear as much anymore, before it was within seconds or a few mins now it will stay on for a few hours of use and has only turned off twice

I fear my mobo is maybe to blame as one of my m.2s are now randomly unmounting.. I tried swapping the nvme drives around and the unmounting persists.

Also my left monitor (audio playback)
Is making a low volume, dial up like beeping tone while im using the system. Weird shit 🤔

Thought it was maybe an audio interface driver issue but these are all up to date.
The beeping happens while the machine is even powered off.

When it rains it snows eh, fookin fix one thing and another issue presents 😂

Update got a pal's old am4 mobo coming this weekend to test with, so will be able to rule this out as a potential culprit

My CPU seems to be in good health so fingers crossed its not that.
