Hi,
About a year ago I built a PC with a Ryzen 3600xt and an RTX 3060. After 6 months I upgraded to an RTX 3070 and after 2 more to a Ryzen 5900x.
When I installed the Ryzen 5900x I also installed a NZXT x62, for which the CAM just doesn’t work and is always on 100% fan speed. I’ve been meaning to send it back but never got around to it.
When I installed the Ryzen 5900x the PC didn’t turn on until I updated the BIOS.
Since installing the 5900x the PC simply shuts down when performing specific tasks. So far there are only two tasks which trigger the shutdown - installing Vectorworks 2022, or patching Skyrim to downgrade it to Special Edition. The PC shuts down at exactly the same points in the process, and always shuts down when I try to perform the task again
The Event Viewer doesn’t show anything at all except an unexpected shutdown only after the PC turns back on.
What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
CPU: Ryzen 5900x
GPU: RTX 3070
MB: MSI Gaming Plus Max X470
PSU: Corsair CX650M
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB
NB It might not be relevant but since installing the 5900x, I haven’t noticed much difference in performance to be honest. I went on Microsoft Flight Simulator and it seemed to be basically the same FPS at the same settings, which is unusual. Similarly in performing daily tasks things seem to be generally the same. The CPU also seems to be running at pretty high temps given the cooling (the NXZT AIO with two fans exhaust, then 3 intake fans, the 2 in the 3070, and one out the back). Generally it idles at 40-50. I thought it might be a temperature issue and did stress tests on the CPU for extended periods of time but no shutdown. It’s only when I perform those specific tasks that everything shuts off at the exact same point.
