joecool169 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Just recently started after being stable for a long long time. Happened while I was sitting at the desk once, everything in the tower just goes dark. Corsair led ram stays lit, which is odd. Won’t power back on unless I toggle the psu switch first. joeserver-diagnostics-20210824-0939.zip Edited August 26, 2021 by joecool169 Solved Quote Link to comment
joecool169 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 I think you're right. Just curious what made you say that so quickly? 1000W EVGA not even a year old - doesn't mean it is good though I know. Quote Link to comment
Michael_P Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Jason had problems with his EVGA 1KW PSU too - warranty it if you can Quote Link to comment

joecool169 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the replies, Bought a new psu yesterday. 1300W EVGA. So far no shut downs. Gave it a little stress test last night. Found that with 100% gpu load and around 30% cpu load my system will pull over 800 watts. Perhaps the previous 1000 watt psu was not quite enough. I'll mark this as solved. Just did it again 😡 Edited August 26, 2021 by joecool169 not fixed Quote Link to comment
joecool169 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'm thinking motherboard at this point. Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Since you are using a Ryzen CPU, did you check this FAQ section : You seem to be over the CPU specs for RAM settings for your configuration. Also check your Power Supply / C-State status. Quote Link to comment
joecool169 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 I could see that setting causing a lockup as the post suggests. But I've been stable for months. Now suddenly the system shuts down. This is not a freeze or lockup, this is the system goes completely dark with no warning. Temps are all good. The only thing I have changed lately was moving governor off performance mode so the a/c in that room doesn't work quite as hard. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I'm thinking motherboard at this point. If it's not the PSU the board is the next logical culprit, but also make sure CPU is not overheating. Quote Link to comment
BVD Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Before replacing more components, I'd start trying to narrow it down further - do you have any stats tracking set up that you could share (grafana etc)? Are you tracking your power usage at all so you might see potential for over current protection to trip? As far as narrowing it down, pull out everything but the ram and run memtest for a bit, if that all clears, pull down to the minimum ram (single channel / one dimm) and stress test the GPU, and so on.

BVD Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Also, I don't suppose you're using one of the new fractal torrent cases are you? Even if not, if you're using a fan hub, it'd be one of the things in the chain I'd remove during testing to narrow things down 👍 Quote Link to comment
joecool169 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 It's so random. Going to be hard to find. It's been running since Thursday at 7 with no issues. It might run 4 days and not do it. Quote Link to comment
