Hi all,
I left on vacation for 10 days and came back yesterday evening.
My system worked absolutely fine before.
As I booted my system and started working the system blacked out and rebooted very quickly while doing office work.
In a meeting of 20m this happened 3 times.
Hardware list:
So I did the following to start pinpointing what was wrong:

I left on vacation for 10 days and came back yesterday evening.
My system worked absolutely fine before.
As I booted my system and started working the system blacked out and rebooted very quickly while doing office work.
In a meeting of 20m this happened 3 times.
Hardware list:
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
- SPARE GPU: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 AMP Extreme
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
- Mobo: ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING Wifi
- RAM: Kingston Fury Beast KF560C36BBEK2-64
- 2x 32GB
- PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 12 850W
So I did the following to start pinpointing what was wrong:
- Windows Memory Diagnostics --> SUCCES, no errors
- CPU OCCT Normal Variable test for 1 hour -> SUCCES, no errors
- Power OCCT Power Test both GPU's for 1 hour
- Attempt 1: FAIL after: 36s into test
- Attempt 2: FAIL after: 1m 17s
- Connected DP to MB instead of RX 7900 XTX
- Power OCCT Power Test Integrated GPU for 1 hour -> SUCCES, no errors
- Power OCCT Power Test RX 7900 XTX 1 hour --> FAIL, after 1m 32s
- GPU 3D Adaptive Test BOTH GPU's. Variable, All GPU's, 10-60%, 4%inc 30s. For 1 hour --> FAIL after 5m 6s
- GPU 3D Adaptive Test Integrated GPU. Variable, All GPU's, 10-60%, 4%inc 30s. For 1 hour (stopped after 40m)
- SUCCES, no errors
- Becaused failed on both GPU simul I didn't test RX 7900 sep again and assumed it would fail
- Swapped out AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (370W) for old GPU ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 AMP Extreme (250W)
- Installed latest drivers
- All of a sudden graphical repsonse started becoming VERY sluggish/laggy
- Weirdest BSOD of my life (see BOSD Screenshot)
- After this system would not boot.
- Mobo Q-led showing RED for either DRAM or CPU. (I thought i was DRAM, but apparently only CPU can be red)
- Removed 1070 again
- System boots again.
- Did OCCT Memory stress test (80%) for 15m --> SUCCESS
- HELP... Not sure where to go from here
- Temeprature is most likely not the culprit. See temperatures at crashtime from OCCT CRASH-TMP
- Memory is most likely not the issue because:
- Windows Memory diagnostics test -> succesful
- OCCT Memory Stability test -> Succesful
- The issue can specifically be triggered by stability testing PCIe GPU but not Integrated GPU
Thoughts I have
- Could be GPU - but then why did the 1070 cause this weird error?
- Maybe because I didn't DDU?
- Assumed it could be something with PSU, failing to deliver full power
- Could be mobo PCIe connectivity?
