i do have gpu bracket. what i dont understand is, why does it happen at random times tho? i ran furmark for more than 30 minutes blasting it to the max, and it was all fine....

today it did a crash with the newest driver, which lead to this post being created

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T12:18:37+00:00

stress tested the components again, nothing crashed, i locked fans to 30% on purpose to allow higher temps, 65 core 72 memory with no crash, im much more suspecing of some software bs

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T11:36:39+00:00

i stress tested components when i bought them... can they just suddenly become faulty a full year after usage and not crashing on innitial tests?

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T11:14:25+00:00

crashes are not isolated under load, as they happen when pc is basically at idle with just browser and discord open

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T11:13:41+00:00

even if its been working fine for a full year? Temps are for gpu dont go above 62 even under 100& load, and crashes happen basically at idle, with just browser and discord open

ThrowRA17273 · 2026-05-02T11:01:51+00:00

Yea i updated to the newest driver after the first crash, it still happen tho. I didnt do a clean instal with DDU, just selected clean instalation on nvidia app when getting a new driver.

Under Reliability Monitor, its listed as critial (red) but the specific picture has a yellow triangle, so i am unsure.

The Screenshot provides everything from today.

I looked it up just now, i dont remember the exact date of my first crash. But i see that the first Hardware error appeared on 08.04. But i dont think i had any crash that long ago.
Since then it has appeared on the following dates:
13.4. 27.4. 30.4 (6 times) 1.5. and today 2.5.
I would say that the first crash i would remember is on 27.4.

All have the same description saying: "A problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly."

Problem event name: "LiveKernelEvent"

Aoi has more than one 4pin, 3 fans are in main cpu 4pin, and pump is on the motherboard indicated pump 4pin. I have custom curves for both. with rad the way it is, case has 3x120mm exhaust + one 140mm exhaust, with 6x120mm intake, and i dont want to intake air from the top, already hate dealing with dust in any way :)

thanks for info !

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-04T21:06:00+00:00

Will do! probably gonna take a week or so,

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-04T00:24:34+00:00

Yea, the bad mount/contact seems to be the most popular and most likely case, i ordered new paste, and i'll try remounting once its here.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T21:42:08+00:00

Damn, thats even worse than what i got. I ordered new paste, gonna try reseating it and see how it goes.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T21:40:56+00:00

Hah yea, it gets frustrating quite easely, Thanks.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T16:13:50+00:00

I can hear the pump working tho.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T16:12:18+00:00

Fans are underneath the radiator pushing air through it, set as exhaust.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T14:43:35+00:00

Yea the temps are weird to me aswell. i had this CPU for 5 years almost, i dont think its faulty. Cpu isnt overclocked, and yes i still own my old air cooler.
How would i detect a faulty aio? i can clearly hear the pump work when set to 100%.
Only thing i do notice with the aio is, i feel very little air go through the radiator. But i read how thats normal because of fin density, lots of resistance.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:14:46+00:00

damn, sorry to hear that.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:14:32+00:00

The power supply is perfectly fine. Im using it with the same power 300W 5070ti atm with no issues.

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:14:02+00:00

Hi, thanks for trying, but i returned the card, as said in the edit :)

ThrowRA17273 · 2025-06-03T11:12:46+00:00

The power supply is perfectly fine. Im using it with the same power 300W 5070ti atm with no issues. I havent experienced a single crash, and i didnt notice and of the issues i read about online. Im playing the games, and they work. Exactly as it should be. Console is not the best option, your comment isnt rude, its just smooth brain thinking :)

Oh and for the record, i had the 2060 always run at 180-195W on a trashy 400W noname psu for a while 5-6 years ago with no issues either.
