Hello, i bought last week rtx 5090 astral oc and had already ryzen 7 9800x3d with rm1000x psu bought in 2023-07 when running occt stress test and both the cpu and the gpu and utilized at a 100% my pc would freeze so i thought 1000w isn’t enough or maybe my psu is just too old so i got a new psu hx1500i atx 3.1 and the same problem persisted.

However, when i ran stress test on cpu and gpu separately i don’t have any issues whatsoever. Gpu is oc to 3000hz at 1v running at 65C and cpu is 5.2ghz 80C when running in occt in extreme. I haven’t experienced issues while playing just while stress testing both the CPU and GPU at the same time at 100% load. Also i want to apologise for my late responses as when im posting this it’s 6am and im going to bed so I’ll reply asap. Thanks in advance,
 
Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

List of all connected peripherals.

Wired or wireless network?

= = = =

Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer.

Either one or both tools may be capturing some error code, warning, or even an informational event just before or at the times when the PC freezes.

As for stress testing, to be brief, I would expect that at some point in the "testing process" that the system would reach some threshold condition where there is "too much stress". And thus freeze.

To me, real stress testing breaks things.

That would not be acceptable for most end users so once some system resource reaches 100% - the test is ended.

I would not be concerned about doing any stress testing per se if there are no system problems.

If games and apps are working well apply the "If it ain't broke then don't fix it." rule.
