February 25, 20242 yr I swapped my RX 7800 XT for a GTX 4070 S several weeks ago due to the VM issues I was having. Now that all that is fixed with the Nvidia card I am now having issues with my system crashing whenever the GPU is under load. I first thought it was the GPU so I sent the PNY card back and got an Asus and low and behold I have the same issue. If I'm running Unmanic docker (Tdarr alternative) or gaming in the VM (never at the same time) the system will last for a few minutes then just suddenly crash and reboot. If I play low end graphic games or run very few transcodes in Unmanic then the system runs fine. It's once I put a heavy load on the system that it crashes. My head instantly goes to the PSU since the new 4070 S has a PCIe 5.0 power connector I'm thinking power spikes are killing my system. Anyway to confirm this? It's not high temps as I've validated that. I attached my hardware components in the pdf. TheMonster.pdf Edited February 25, 20242 yr by BigDaddyDingDong

March 10, 20242 yr Shouldn’t be the psu then my machine just started crashing a well I can’t get it to boot maybe there was a recent Nvidia driver update

I think the 4070 S using the new PCIe 5.0 socket needs higher wattage than what my EVGA 1000W can support. Has anyone on here had issues with using PCIe 4.0 power plugs on a PCIe 5.0 splitter?
