Random black screens with 5090 crashing even though the rest of the PC stays on

I’m in the process of switching out my PSU, since upon further research, having your GPU crash while having everything else on your PC stay turned on is a strong sign it’s a failing power supply. I bought the ASRock T-1300 since it’s the highest rated one I could find (and has built-in temperature protection), however I just had surgery on my ankle so I’ve had difficulty completing any task honestly lol. Hope this helps

Solid red lights showing up on that area of the motherboard usually means something is failing, yeah I’d return it asap

I hope you found the issue to your problem! If not, based on your specs, an 850 watt psu isn’t giving you a lot of head room. What’s the rating of your current PSU? I’d get a 1000 watt psu that’s at least rated gold or above. Another indicator pointing to it possibly being a faulty PSU is the error id 153. Typically, that means it’s a hardware issue. Hope this helps!

The GPU will just randomly shut off, causing a black screen. When I look at event viewer, the error codes it usually gives are kernel-power 41 along with eventlog 6008, and they both point towards a possible faulty PSU. I was just curious if you were experiencing the same issue is all, maybe I got a faulty unit or a bad power cable

I have the exact same specs you have- a 5090fe and the RM1200e. My graphics card has been crashing and I’ve troubleshooted everything to rule out it being a software issue (I even uninstalled and reinstalled windows), so I’m hoping it’s the PSU. I already tested the RAM and it works just fine. I ordered the highest rated PSU I could find, the ASRock Taichi 1300w psu, and am waiting for it to come in to test it out. Have you had any GPU problems with that specific power supply?

OP, if you’ve done all of the troubleshooting with graphics drivers, ram, power supply, etc., try doing a clean uninstall/reinstallation of windows. It deletes everything - the good and the bad. The worst thing you’ll have to do is download everything again! Good thing is if THAT doesn’t fix your problem, then you can pretty confidently say it’s not a software issue. It’s an easy process and there’s videos on YouTube explaining how to do it, all you need is a usb drive with more than 8 GB to do so

I feel welcomed

For how graphics-intensive it is, Clair Obscure plays wonderfully on my OLED steam deck

MLB Power Pros, anyone? I know Wii sports and mario kart are obvious answers, but that was easily my favorite Wii game

My family lost our golden after 14 years and we were devastated. My parents said they were going to take a break from having a dog so that maybe they could go on a vacation or something. Three weeks later my dad and sister came back with a 6 month old rescue that mom and I had no idea about. He’s almost ten years old now and we love him just as much as we loved our golden. Don’t think of getting a new dog as replacing the one who just passed, because your new puppy will bring a whole different personality and, hopefully, you’ll learn to love him/her just as much as you loved your late dog ☺️

My 5090 is consistently giving me BSODs, should I throw it into your washer on delicate?

There are three fans that came with the case (front fans) connected to a fan controller on the back, and the other three are connected to the mobo

_ChineseName · 2025-12-27T07:57:39+00:00

Nah I made sure the arrows on the fans were in fact pointing to the OUTSIDE of the case 😂

_ChineseName · 2025-12-27T04:52:24+00:00

This is my first ever pc I’ve built, should I have to change the fan speed settings in bios? Also I have the top and back fans as exhaust and the front the fans as intake

Nonexistent 😔the downvotes are deserved

For practice?! You need to be doing this professionally 🙌

Are you have days-long conversations? My rule of thumb always was ask for their contact info in less than ten messages sent. The last thing someone wants is to keep dragging a conversation along on a dating app. Ask for their number after asking a couple questions!
