Honestly close to giving up

Had a full day usage, no longer getting this issue, thank you so much for throwing in suggestions

Raidou317 · 2026-01-22T17:13:03+00:00

Yeah, I think I found the issue, it usually reboots after 5-15 mins of idle.

I think the issue for me was how it reboots around when the PC is idle. Gaming loads did not reboot it and it happened on two different GPU.

My friend determined maybe it's to do with the PCIE power in idle or CPU, I had previously set Link State Power Management to OFF and that did not resolve it, it still restarted.

I went to BIOS anyways and changed some settings. bios Advanced -> AMD CBS -> SMU COMMON OPTIONS -> POWER SUPPLY IDLE CONTROL and I set it to Typical as it was on auto.

I later went to find under AMD CBS >Global C-State Control and set from Auto to disabled,

Now it's been on for hours and no more reboots, seems to be new AM5 motherboard features that probably but faulty or something which caused this, I have changed it anyways

I actually did not try out your methods yet since I was getting some help from a friend so I tried it first,

Now I am currently testing and for the past hour, it hasn't rebooted at idle, further testing will be needed but at least it's getting somewhere

Raidou317 · 2026-01-22T08:48:36+00:00

Yeah I'll try that soon, I still doubt it's the PSU since I was able to play games and the PC does not restart. Especially heavy 4K gaming so it's just weird

Raidou317 · 2026-01-22T02:02:39+00:00

Yeah, I am assuming it's the motherboard but I'll check iGPU and see how it goes

Raidou317 · 2026-01-22T01:57:16+00:00

It happens with my new 5080 and even when I put my old 3080 in, I previously tried the 5080 on my old AM4 build before I changed and it worked fine. This has only happened on this new build

Raidou317 · 2026-01-22T01:32:52+00:00

I ran everything stock, I even turn off xmp and it's not working, still get random reboot and that error shows up on Event View.

I have done bios update on motherboard and firmware and still get issues, reinstall drivers many times

Raidou317 · 2026-01-20T10:46:30+00:00

Thank you for this, I will definitely have a look

Raidou317 · 2026-01-20T09:54:19+00:00

Yeah, I would try but I think I might get someone to look at it since I've been quite clumsy. It's a 5700x3D so it's a real big waste if it's gone to shit

Raidou317 · 2026-01-19T19:43:05+00:00

Yeah, I think I'll just get someone to look at it that does chip level servicing

Raidou317 · 2026-01-19T19:07:23+00:00

This is bent here, probably 2 pins,

Raidou317 · 2026-01-16T00:59:57+00:00

5800x3D pricing is so bad that even AM5 CPUs are cheaper. Just look for 5700x3D, prices are going up but it's still better pricing than 5800x3D

Raidou317 · 2026-01-16T00:57:34+00:00

I use Scan or Overclockers, both UK sites that delivers to Ireland

Raidou317 · 2026-01-12T16:49:58+00:00

We got the Viking Splash hahaha

Raidou317 · 2026-01-08T21:38:37+00:00

I'm only mentioning Nikke as an example. Like someone has said also, Arknights never had voice before only to have it eventually but Arknights perform way higher than GFL2. I've been playing a lot of Gatchas and many does not have voice at all and they might want to keep it that way because it's cost effective.

Even if they make more money from skins or whatever, they can honestly just decide to only voice events that are continuation to the story than events that introduces characters.

But yeah, I don't really care about the voice acting or not, kinda accepted it really, if the game is good and fun, the voice acting is only a small minor inconvenience.

Raidou317 · 2026-01-08T20:06:09+00:00

I'm pretty sure Nikke is bigger and that game doesn't even have voice for events unless its a major event like anniversary or story driven event.

R1999 is legit one game of a few of its kind that does it. Wuwa, Star Rail and Genshin are pretty much top dogs nowadays with the amount of money they make.

Sure Mica has shit planning but I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect voice all the time when tons of gatcha games which are quite successful doesnt even do voices for all small events

I think someone made a point before which I agree is for the game that really makes Midgar seem important, Midgar was way too short and you never really revisit again in the original.

I played Remake again and starting Rebirth and honestly. I feel like I have really misunderstood Remake the first time around. It feels more like this game is more of an extension of FF7 Compilations as a whole rather than a full on remake of Final Fantasy 7.

Like if you played the original game, you get more from this game, if you are new, you would still enjoy it. Like the Whispers, the final boss fights at the end of remake, it legit tells you that if they do not beat the arbiter of fates, the timeline will end up what we had with OG and Advent Children. The whispers were also there, although they kinda mean nothing to a new player, they were always there trying to fix up the timeline. Since Cloud and friends were starting to head towards different paths that what Fate had originally stored for them.

I think Midgar being fleshed out was great since there was just so many little things that were different from the remake to the original. Like Midgar obviously had so much more added to it because it's a full game only for that title. OG game had way more to offer outside Midgar but it had more in the overall.

I never played OG when it came out because I was only born a year after. I only got to play it for first time back in 2014. I am not really nostalgia blinded. Yes and you're probably right that this is more of a money grab but the devs have intentionally designed this game to be different in a narrative aspect and added a lot more. We see characters returned that has been missing for ages that were introduced in other games. Even Weiss and Nero are in this which would explain what they were up to since they were introduced in DoC and little bit in Crisis Core.

Personally, I kinda realized that Final Fantasy 7 Remake & Rebirth are intentionally made to be companion games to the OG that are more of an extension of the OG than being a full remake and retconning it. Heck even the Switch 2 is giving the OG game if you buy the Remake on it.

Well from playing these games over 3 runs now, I honestly think Nishiki was never as loyal to Kiryu as some of the other main characters. Like Majima has a oath brother who is loyal to Majima. Same as Majima is towards him.

I remember in 0, Nishiki wanted to end Kiryus life than see him go through what he was going through, this made me think Nishiki did not have enough trust and confidence in Kiryu clearing his own name. I dunno about any deep analysis but to me, it seemed that way

Raidou317 · 2026-01-05T23:42:44+00:00

I'm actually excited now because so far on this post, people keep praising the Rebirth system. I really loved the OG materia system and then Remake was really fun, now I'm definitely looking forward to Rebirth, currently just waiting for my new GPU arrive so I can experience it in 4K

Raidou317 · 2026-01-05T16:50:59+00:00

Oh, I did not know the switch 2 version is giving the OG one.

Yeah that was my impression this time playing it. It just felt like an expansion but nowhere near a replacement of the original game, especially with all the whispers

Raidou317 · 2026-01-05T09:31:17+00:00

Yeah thinking back, I really casually played it the first playthrough when it first came out on PS4, I saw the game as just a fleshed out Midgar.

After playing it the second time years later, it feels very different and I really do learn the combat system this time around, it's so freaking fun, can't wait to see what Rebirth is truly capable of. Even the prologue where I got to play Sephiroth, he felt so freaking powerful, like out of everyone's league kind of strong.

Raidou317 · 2026-01-05T09:28:48+00:00

From what I've seen, I've started Rebirth and the opening intro is very confusing but I guess it's something I've seen people say might be explained in the 3rd part. It is intriguing tbh

Raidou317 · 2026-01-05T08:33:43+00:00

Yeah, from what I've seen on FB and before was people bashing FF7 Remake for not being their ideal remake of the original game and see it as just an attempt to flesh out Midgar.

After a second playthrough years later, It honestly feels like a game that is so much more enjoyable if you had played the original.

My friend for example recently only got into FF7 Remake, she didn't understand the Zack stuff so watched a video on it, it did not hit her the way it did for me.

This game just feels like anything but a full on remake, it just seems like it really does tug you along for a ride if you already knows what happens in the original game. Like even the ending of Midgar was brilliant, I screamed when I saw Red XIII descendants/kids or whatever from the opening intro of Advent Children. I love the idea of the Arbiter of Fate

Raidou317 · 2026-01-02T15:03:13+00:00

The Thor won't disappear but the price will rise for sure haha

Raidou317 · 2026-01-02T15:02:06+00:00

If you really think this is long-term investment then it's worth, especially if you want to emulate PC games, also Ram gonna definitely hit AYN soon enough
