Question PC freezing and restarting on its own

Significant? I mean, it's called a 12v rail for a reason... It shouldn't be below it at all as far as I know.

What is it that you were doing when it happened. ...and if you can run and post a userbenchmark test that might give me something to go off.

+ or - 5% is the tolerance for a PSU so 11.400 VDC, 12.600 on the 12 volt rail.

can i post the hwinfo log file?

was running a game
while on load it was at 11.52v
i think it might be the psu even tho its within the tolerance

 

[shreyas31]

before my windows reset it used to happen even when without load that is when i was just browsing on chrome or when i kept it idle but after the fresh install it didnt happen during browsing/when idle even once yet , only while gaming. idk if this changes anything

another thing is cpu temps are going as high as 92-94C maybe thats a reason?

Christ dude... get some airflow in that thing.

Even though it's a bit overkill, if my cpu goes over 70 I'll add more cooling til it doesn't.

You have to account for power spikes as well from changing demands rapidly, like a firefight in an FPS game verse running around and empty world. It definitely sounds like the PSU could be at fault but to be honest, this is guess work. It's hard to determine what is wrong without being there at the machine, kinda like how greasemonkeys can tell what's wrong with a car by driving it around, but you try to explain it to them and it'll sound like gibberish.

Also, the last thing I'd do, is keep using it if it is crashing constantly. Everytime that happens you have a chance of it never turning on again, a higher chance that is than the already present chances.

...for example, for all we know, when you built the pc or whoever did, may have dropped a screw in there, wedge inbetween something, causing it to short under certain peak loads. ..but there is no way to tell. Only you can find the answer, people here can only point or suggest until you find the buttons to push.

so quick follow up, pc didnt crash for 2 and a half days after i rolled back my gpu driver to 516.94 which is what windows automatically installed when i did a fresh install . psu still drops to around 11.5v but only on heavy loads .

tbh my ambient temps are very high most of the time but yea i need to improve cooling def

Have you tried running all these games on their lowest settings?
I'd say that if you have crashes after reducing all graphical tasks to their minimum then it's likely the PSU due to high demand spikes.
I mean, If you can play Cyberpunk at 1440p on Ultra it's definitely going to be pulling more power verse running it at 1080p Low. If you don't crash on the lower end then it's likely the PSU, I'd say that'd be about as good as it gets for proof...but at this point if you haven't already ordered another PSU, at least a temporary one then you're just asking for trouble.

Gpu cooler

^^^^^^^^
Some people say that these things are pointless but personally I buy it just because I can and logically it seems like a good idea. Especially if you never use the other slots on a mobo.

Paste replacement

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Another thing I've come to prefer over traditional methods is these pads, instead of using paste. I haven't used paste on anything in...a couple years now, if not longer. It's been a game changer in building, rebuilding PC's for me.
I simply can't recommend them enough but I always tell people, if they're going to build using this, at least lookup a quick video about it and or call me to show them because it has it's flaws like paste, but when it comes down to it, I'd still pick these pads over paste anytime. Yeah, sure if you're some nutjob that likes to buy parts simply to burn them up or see at which temperature they explode, then yeah, maybe paste would be better but I don't know and don't intend to find out.
Same as using paste though, if done right can yield the same results, if not better in a day to day use case. There is no cleanup or "how much do I use" blah blah.

PC Case Fans - No RGB

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For the fans, if I was on a budget I'd go with these fans by Artic, but if you have the money and wanna make a big hoopla about brand name there is all kinds of expensive fans that do that same thing just with a logo on them.
For RGB I prefer the Sickleflows, they're fairly decently priced comparatively. Whenever they're not sold out. I haven't checked recently but they're still my go to fan.

so apparently it was probably caused by fTPM so i turned it off and i turned on performance mode on 3d settings nvidia and so far the pc will not lose display but sometimes once in a while a game crashes and before it crashes i look at latencymon which shows high dpc count from my dxgkernel and nvlddmkm sys files

 

[shreyas31]

I've tried underclocking gpu before using afterburner but it used to reset to default settings.

 

[shreyas31]

so it happens very rarely now and the system will start stuttering and sound will crack and pop and whatever application is running will crash but browser and all will continue to work with the stutter and display will stay but i have to wait for it to go because at that moment i cant restart or shutdown as the moment i do it it will just black screen. Ive disabled hardware acceleration wherever possible.
