[SOLVED] Streaming while gaming causing restart. New build

[Kraynos]

I just finished building my computer yesterday and its running great except for this very odd problem. I can game and I can watch Netflix/Hulu but when I try to do both, my system restarts itself almost immediately. I've checked my psu and it seems to be working properly. The only other issue I've had is that when I tried to overclock my RAM it didn't work and I had to reset the BIOS to get it working again. Could my RAM be faulty? I don't know what else can be causing this. For reference my build is:

Corsair 750W Gold+ PSU
Ryzen 5 5600xt CPU
ASUS ROG STRIX B550F Motherboard
MSI RTX 3070 GPU
Corsair Vengeance 32BG RAM 3200Hz
M.2 NVME SSD
SATA SSD

Are you using 4x8GB or 2x16GB and if you're using 2x8GB in which RAM slots are they?

What temperatures are you seeing on the CPU and GPU at idle and load?

What Corsair model?

What BIOS version are you running?

 

[Kraynos]

The RAM is 2x16GB and they are in A2 and B2
GPU temp Idle is 38 C CPU Ild is 30-32
Corsair PSU is an RM

This is a new Windows 10 install?

BIOS version?

 

[Kraynos]

Yes new Windows 10 Pro install, BIOS version 1004

Updating the BIOS seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you

I'm happy updating your BIOS did the job! Can I ask which version did you flash? Did you take the non Beta version or did you flash to the latest beta one directly?

Enjoy that 5600X! Such an amazing CPU really. 5600X is the new 3600X and it's so worth it.

I eneded up flashing to 1202 the non Beta version with the thought that if it didnt work I'd still have something to try.

Nice that you did not have to use the Beta version. Not that they are not working but you know BETA version

My thoughts exactly!
