So i got the new 9070XT GPU a few days after launch, but i'm having a problem.

I get random reboots now while i play games, and sometimes it can take 5-6 days between crashes and sometimes it can crash like 3 times in an hour.

I never had any issues with my old RTX2080 which i had for 5 years (have only changed the gpu and CPU since then).
CPU was changed like 1,5years ago with no problems so far.

I have tried:
Updated drivers (with DDU)
Updated Chipset and bios to latest.
Set PCIe to gen4 in bios from auto.
Set voltage offset to -70mvh, Power -30% in Adranaline driver. (this helped for like a week).

PC Spec:
CPU: 5800X3D
MB: MSI X570 Carbon WiFi
Ram: 32gb Corsair Vengence 3200mhz
SSD: PNY 1TB
PSU: Riotoro Enigma 850watt

it happens in every game i tried.

I have a small suspicion it could be the PSU, but i don't get why i can run games like Fortnite for like 3-4 hours 5-6 days in a row with no problems, and suddently i can't run Fortnite for 20min without it crashing.

Is there anything else wrong with my system, or is it like 90% for sure the PSU?

Thanks.
 
The strange thing is that every benchmark i run, works just fine.


I have ordered a NZXT 1000w psu i can try if that helps. if not i can always send it back within 30 days
