PC Has started randomly shutting off?

[FreedomEclipse]

I've never seen an instance of this.

So just because you havent personally seen or experienced it means that those who have are automatically in the wrong for sharing their experience and opinion of it and shouldnt be taken seriously?

Ive never had a power supply just 'explode' albeit some people like to exaggerate about stuff exploding but its just a small hiss, bang or a pop then things stops working.

To quote your own words "I've never seen an instance of this nor any verified facts or articles etc. "

OVP being pretty sensitive has been documented for years now. While the problem isnt super wide spread and effects every single motherboard that rolls off the production line, the possibility of it causing a problem still exists however small the likelyhood is.

sometimes its the simplest or smallest of things that stop things running properly.

If you have a good quality power supply which the OP does have then there is nothing to worry about.

But of course feel free to discredit the shared opinions of others that dont fall in line with your own.

Yeah the GP is the updated version, that adds the extra 6 pin + better thermal pads, so maybe MSI will help me with that part (though with the virus going about sending/receiving stuff is quite a pain). Not sure if maybe because this is the OG 5700 that it could be getting too hot and shutting off? My temps on high load read like this

GPU TEMP 75C
Memory Junction? 82C
VR VDDC 65C
Hot Spot 95C

Not sure what the middle 2 are but are any of them concerning?

This is running Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord.

GPU-Z is your friend, use it to log the temps, or even use HWinfo64 + RivaTuner to log keep a eye on the in game.

What's 95c ?, although it sounds way to hot what ever it is.

You could try takiing the side of the case off and use a one of those 20-24 inch fans at full speed pointing in side and see if the problem goes away or not.

Seems to be a standard temp for the hotspot (AMD seems to say it can go up to 110 and be fine). So far been 3 days without it rebooting again, so I guess it is a cooling issue as my PC does run kinda hot. Will have to see with longer testing. I've been logging tempts with HWinfo.

Okay so uh, it seems my PC hasn't shut down in the last half of the week, and I'm kind of confused. It really seems like it is a heating issue then, and I will probably have to do a RMA with MSI to get the new revised GPU that has improved thermal pads and an additional 6 pin connection (which seems like a big deal tbh). Though the estimated time is around 1 month so that kind of sucks.

You could always run some graphics torture tests like Furmarks to ensure the overheating issue has been resolved.
