Question MSI RX 580 V1 8GB Restarts PC after playing a bit of shadows of mordor

[leontn]

Greetings,

I've been having a problem playing Shadows of Mordor the PC restarts after like 30 minutes of playing. It only happens with that game and also shadows of war. I saw some videos in which they low the slider of the frequency of the gpu in the gpu tuning section also low the Vram slider to the base 1750Mhz but I noticed something weird. When I enable the advanced control in the gpu tuning option it shows me a metric bar option but the red bar surpasses the white line in the graphics, In the videos I've seen the red bar does not surpass the white line.

I dont think is this a good think but i prefer to ask. I checked the CPU and it's not over heating niether the PSU is geting hot. and it's only giving problems with this games. I already updated the drivers to the latest ones. And i didn't move the sliders for gpu tuning or vram tuning yet but it got the bar graphic thing.

The specs are:
OS: Windows 10
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G
RAM: 32GB 3200Mhz
Motherboard: Asrock B450-HDV R 4.0
video card: MSI 580 V1 8GB
PSU: Seasonic G12 GC-750 750 Watts

This are the links of the images of the gpu tuning bar graphic:

A PC that reboots usually happens for two reasons;
1| there's an overheating issue
2| your PSU is being overwhelmed

Looking through your specs, I doubt it'll be your PSU but how old is the unit? The thing that sticks out is the motherboard. It lacks a proper VRM design, let alone a heatsink, so that leads me to think that's your root issue.

Try and aim a fan at the VRM area and see if that helps. Aside from that, I wouldn't have paired a Ryzen 5000 series processor on a board like that.

Speaking of motherboard's, what BIOS version are you on for said motherboard? Have you tried undervotling your GPU?

All the components are a year old except the PSU which i buyed in november 2024 and is the newest piece of hardware. I changed the previous PSU Because it rampted hard when playing games with the 750 watts PSU I don't have that problem. The oldest one is the GPU which was a gift. The system worked fine with Resident Evil 2 Remake and also Resident Evil 3 Remake. These 2 games from Lord of the Rings are the ones that are giving problems. The Motherboard BIOS is the P4.70 i did not updated the BIOS for the message of warning in the Asrock website i didnt wanted to srcrew up something.
