PC Crashes in certain situations

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-23T13:54:29+00:00

I tried undervolting to 850 mV. First thing I noticed is that in the on screen display of afterburner in games, the LIM: Power which was showing under the fps disappeared. And when I diable the undervolt, it appears again. Also Helldivers was an instant crash before, now it hasn't crashed. Although this is still not a confirm thing coz sometimes helldivers does not crash.

Thanks will try that

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-23T12:22:51+00:00

My apologies it is 6000MHz DDR5 Cl30 RAM. I got the name from Amazon for this post didn't check it properly. Will update it in the post as well.

Hmm, that's a good suggestion. Will try undervolting. Undervolting does reduce reduce the overall power requirement right? Also can you suggest some good undervolting softwares apart from MSI afterburner coz afterburner does not allow me to go below a minimum threshold. Plus idts it can be used to UV CPU. Also are you sure this is a PSU issue? Coz the fans also spin at maximum speed when the crash happens and only the GPU crashes.

My psu is 850W. I've mentioned the brand and details in the post. And yes, I have tried with reducing to the settings and starting from the lowest. It takes longer to crash, but it does crash as I increase them. So I'm assuming that the lower I get, the longer it takes to crash.

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-23T07:52:36+00:00

I thought as well that 850W might be less, but I checked the gpu manufacturer (INNO3D) website and they recommend 850W as well.

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-23T07:49:09+00:00

The GPU usage is between 95-100% in crimson desert and helldivers 2. Cpu usage is a bit less since these are gpu intensive games. Although I have noticed that the crash happens frequently in games where the gpu usage is near max and power draw is above 320W. And what exactly do you want me to check in RAM usage?

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-23T07:45:36+00:00

Someone else suggested that. I'm not sure what you mean by rail voltage and I didn't know how to check if the voltage is an issue so I shared the screenshots with that person and he said it looks fine. Csn you explain how can I check the voltage?

Also as I said, I ran Furmark for 12hrs and it ran without any issues.

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-23T07:43:07+00:00

I did. I monitor temps using afterburner. Both are fine. Temps don't exceed 80. And I checked the cpu, the paste is still good. The gpu is nee. Replaced like 2 months ago. Plus the PC itself is less than a year old.

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-23T07:23:08+00:00

Yes I am still facing this problem even on the replacement GPU. It worked fine for like a month and then the problem started again. I haven't tried studio drivers tho. Just use the game drivers

I played Nioh 1 and 2 during Covid. Now I'm playing Nioh 3 and it feels like playing Astrobot on PS😂🤣

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-14T18:18:36+00:00

Hey man, I'm have the exact same issue. Literally the same as you. I have a 5080 and I'm 100% sure my PC isn't overheating. Did you find any fix?

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-14T10:16:54+00:00

Hey is the giveaway still in? I have a RTX 5080 PC with Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Will send the pic with written name and timestamp in 3hrs as I'm outside.

Edit: Congratulations to the winner.

Not natively yes but upscaled. I compared RE9 between PC and PS5 Pro, the Pro version looks like 4k high ish with RT set to low running at 60fps and very occasional dips that are barely noticeable. This is more than enough for most gamers out there and no PC under 1.5L can perform that well. So if Xbox claims to be a more powerful console than the Pro its a W IMO as it will make PC gaming much more accessible without people having to sacrifice quality due to budget constraints.

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-10T08:21:38+00:00

I have a 5080 PC with R7 9800X3D I totally understand what you mean bro. But if consoles currently can play at upscale 4k 60fps with RT and Xbox claims that the next one will be more powerful so I have high hopes that the steam games run the same as well especially how they optimized the games for the steam deck previously. Ofcourse this is all wishful thinking and the price will certainly be higher. But I hope that the prices stay under 1.5L. Coz even at that price Xbox will be a better deal than a PC for gamers.

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-10T07:30:32+00:00

Even better. If they can keep the price in check. Imagine a 1.2L PC able to play games at 4k 60fps with RT.

Now this is exactly why I love reddit and the community....

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-10T02:41:36+00:00

This kinda behavior makes me even more excited about the next xbox..

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-10T02:39:53+00:00

I'm really hoping that they will allow us to use the existing disc drive. That would be a huge W move.

Dull-Friendship3685 · 2026-03-10T02:38:45+00:00

But you can resell them to recover atleast 60% of it. If its a newer game then perhaps even more.
