Good day folks, I've got a problem with my GPU and System that keep crashing there and there... here... Lemme first lay out the hardware first :

(Disclaimer : My old parts before I upgraded the GPU n PSU were : Seasonic G550w and MSI RX6600XT Mech 2x)

Proc : Ryzen 5 5600
mobo : MSI B350m Gaming pro
RAM : Klevv CrasX 3200MHZ 16 GB
Storage : Samsung NVME 980
GPU : Gigabyte RX 6900 XT 16GB OC
PSU : Corsair RM 1000X
Case : DA N30S v2
Cooling system : 6 Fan + Deepcool Mystique 240mm
OS : Windows 10

(another disclaimer : the PSU is used one, with warranty, and The GPU too, it had just got RMA'ed to the Gigabyte service center by the previous owner)

 My main Problem :

After I put the new RX 6900 XT and Corsair PSU, everything went smooth.... Until I tried Ray Tracing on Witcher 3... not long after I turn it on, the heat got to 78° and the hotspot got to 95°... I thought it was fine, but then the system all crashed, Black screen, my GPU went OVERDRIVE, SPINNING ITS FAN LIKE CRAZY, and after that overdrive the AMD Adrenaline wont open at all, cant install a new one and can't repair the driver, in the end I could just reinstalled the windows (sad) ... I tried this and that, asking my local AMD community, tried many things like undoing the daisy chain, removing old drivers with DDU, reinstalling drivers, etc etc. After that Reinstall everything went smooth... But after 3 weeks (I rarely use my PC during those weeks) I noticed that parts of my keyboard zapped me with statics electricity, and IT GOT WORSER now, Even tho I only used my PC for light games like Wuthering Waves, IT CRASHED 😭 EVEN THO THE TEMP IS JUST 50 TO 60! (After playing the game for like, 30 minutes to 2 hours, crash time varied)

I'm planning to get my PSU into the service centre, but does anyone has the same problem or has any Idea what I should do? I can't spot the main problem, is it the GPU? PSU? Or my OLD timer MOBO?

Thank you in advance!

Sorry but I don't have the tools like volt meter or know how to do the checking 😭
EDIT :

OHH YEAH ONE MORE! I have a Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2 headphone, It was fine and rocking, UNTIL RECENTLY (2 Days ago), It has a weird buzzing, statics, noise sometimes on the right side... if i moved my head sometimes the buzzing is gone, but If i move, it'll come back

How old is the PSU and what did the PSU power prior to the RX 6900 XT?

mobo : MSI B350m Gaming pro
What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

Until I tried Ray Tracing on Witcher 3... not long after I turn it on, the heat got to 78° and the hotspot got to 95°...
Breadboard your system's innards and see what your temps are.

in the end I could just reinstalled the windows (sad)
Where did you source the installer for the OS? Did you install said OS in offline mode, to later install all drivers in an elevated command?

I noticed that parts of my keyboard zapped me with statics electricity, and IT GOT WORSER now,
You might want to call in a certified electrician and ask them to see what your wiring in your abode looks like, and if you're lacking any grounding in the room where you're using the PC.

This, I'm not sure what it power before, but I think the PSU were used for almost 2 years, only one and some months.

I'm unsure, I'll check it right away after this

I'm not sure what or how, but I'll check it later too...

Well, in offline mode and I just do the "Reset PC" thing, I know it's not clean but that actually works for some time....

Sure, but that might be a lil but hard to do ASAP.
 
Your electricity delivery is fudged. If you are getting shocked through keyboard, your PC is not properly grounded, there is a current leak somewhere. That can cause all kinds of issues.

Start by changing power outlet.
I tried, but almost all the room are the same :disrelieved: still got zapped, and hey, I'm sure there's a grounding cable on my electric meters

I'm being more and more suspicious toward my PSU because I didn't have the static noise until just recently...
