Question PSU Antec HCG Extreme 1000Watt, Kernel 41 event crash cause?

[iTRiP]

Could this PSU be the cause of my pc crashing?

I have another 1000Watt PSU in my other pc I could test with, anybody that can second this to be a good test and might reveal my pc issue?

 

[--SID--]

With Vega 64, isn't it?

What's the brand and model?

Right so the other unit is an (2020) Coolermaster V 1000.
It's a lot of work , but I'm willing to do the six swaps if you do the math just to pinpoint my pc's crash issue.
What do you recon?

 

[iTRiP]

I have done everything else to determine the issue I could have thought up till now...seems like.

 

[iTRiP]

OK I've done that PSU swap... let's see what happens now.
Running the Coolermaster V 1000 now!

Update: Pc crash still occurring, even with a swapped PSU.

What else could the cause be?

Defective GPU

Would have started with the GPU in the first place.

I did that, I tested the gpu in the other pc,,, there where no problems when I did that.

I'm testing my CPU again now... funny up to now it's a crash that only happens when a game is played.

If not the GPU not the PSU it can be ram or motherboard.
Please post more detailed description and steps taken to figure it out.

I sure will, If I can think or come up with anything I can still try to solve this.
Just now I also thought I might have received bent or damaged cpu pins in my 1200 lga socket.. but the pc passes prime 95... and performance mark... downloading cinebench now to see if that could trigger the crash.
Besides that, only games do cause a crash if start to play anything. ( I hope I'm still allowed to play, A kid such as me can never stop playing or am I right or what ) Oh and another thing I wanted to add is that I'm doing all these forum posts on the pc in question.. and all the time it's running fine.

So I Figure there might have been driver issue, I ran a game (only a low resource one) for a couple of hours and there was no crash after the latest incident of the driver reinstallation rectification today.

Now I'm reinstalling all the games that had crashed so far...maybe they got corrupted by crashing causing crashes.

I'll see if I can run some of those games again, and if there is no crash I'm putting back the original PSU for this pc for further testing.

I know now that the crashes have occurred with both power supply's, and that that can rule out the power supply's as a cause because the original PSU remained power up even after a crash, and the other power supply is new, like never had any load on it besides office pc stuff.

Anybody that likes to share some thoughts or comment please feel free to do so, You know I read your input.

Now I got around to the idea that the AMD GPU driver overlay By pressing Shift+Ctrl+O witch I usually leave open when gaming or benching might cause these crashes... no avail still crashing even with that disabled.

I did the PSU swap back again... of both pc's, So I have completed the PSU tests= Results: both PSU's are working according to my findings.

Then I thought maybe the games that are crashing are not working right because of playing in a specific location or part of a map... So, I went into those games and loaded a different part of each game ( or other save, mission)... then there was no crash.

Now I got An idea if the next crash occurs, I'm going to look if the GPU is also being turned off while the power of my pc still stays on like noticed on every crash but I have not looked specifically at this fact that might be occurring after said crash, that could point to a protection mechanism because of heat right?, simply to protect the hardware at this point in time... let's see what happens!

This stands out to me.

Yes thanks for noting that I appreciate it, this is quite funny everything gaming related runs ever since I had this 24GB mixed set, but I've never noticed that this won't pass Windows's memtest, but like I said each stick of ram individually passes.

I can relate to your frustration; went through a very similar problem with my primary, but old, PC last month.
My suggestion is to run diagnostic test on your primary drive; short test first (it will probably pass) then a long test (may or may not pass). If it passes both, then run chkdisc and let it correct any problems it finds. I take it your primary drive is one of your Samsung's and they should have a program/app in their Magic to do that. Seagate test may have to be downloaded.
My issue was my 2TB Crucial SATA SSD and the warnings it threw for the month of November started with the Kernal warning. I should have paid attention to it then.

I've done disk checks as well, all my disks seem to in good running conditions. thank for running that by be again... double checking what I have all done now reading through all my post and people's reply's.

Any way I can tell you I wasn't frustrated at all during this whole thing, nice change of pace getting hands on with all my hardware. ( from the usual gaming and thinking ever bit of my pc was @ 100% all of the time, when the fact was that it was not until I did something about it )

At this point I figure it's just the heat, working on improving this now!

I just re-read your posts and didn't see any mention of checking hardware fans, and completely forgot about a friends PC that would shut down suddenly because his video card fans weren't working: Make certain you video card fans are working and are spinning up under load. With another friend's PC we had to load up MSI Afterburner and set up a fan profile that ran at 30% at idle and went up as the load increased: That solve the problem as there was some part of his video card not cooling when the vid.card was on low speed or off - and it wasn't some part that could be monitored. Worth a look see.
Another test is open your case and set a desk fan to blow into it while you game: That solved the problem for one of my grandsons.

Funny this is the last thing, I'm testing now and as you mention this, doing this, editing fan curves has eliminated my pc crash issue ( fingers crossed )

After everything, I had tested all my hardware, and it turns out it's a simple fan curve that did not respond to the temp changes, seems like.
