Hard crash, CPU light on Mobo comes on

try running poeuncrasher (its on github). Its open source but run at your own risk, 100% fixed hard crashes for me

Sorry, but since you just built the machine 3 months ago, this is highly likely bad CPU cooler contact.

Please run the standard system stress tests like Cinebench, Heaven Benchmark, etc.

I reread your thread and you make only casual mention of stress testing without specifically listing any stress tests which makes me think you didn't actually stress test to any generally accepted convention.

Twice now during gameplay, my computer has turned off, just like the power has been cut.

Specs:
Windows 10 Pro - all updates applied
ASRock B650M PRO RS Motherboard (Bios and AMD chipset drivers are most current. Previously 3 months old at start of thread. No changes after updating.)
AMD Ryzen 5 9600x CPU
AMD Radeon 7600 GPU
32gb ram.
2tb nvme.

Edit: All GPU/CPU/mobo drivers are up to date. I even switched to beta 25.1.1 drivers and issue persists

Apologies if I missed it, what is the brand, model and watts of your power supply please.

It can be very hard to tell in person, Moreso via internet, however, one possibility, which I have seen happen to myself and others, is the PSU is either failing (which would unusual being 3 months old but not unheard of) or possible doesn't have enough watts.

Aside from the GPU, your CPU is the biggest power draw in your system.

Another curiosity, is your ram 4*8? Or (more likely) 2*16? I'm sure you got it all perfect, just to be careful are your dimms in slots a2 & b2? It should work with any but could get glitchy if not those two for 2 dimms of the same size.

Crashing sucks and hopefully you find a solution sooner than later.

You say you've investigated the CPU temperature, but I will still post what I posted in another thread, because your issues are extremely similar to what I had:

I had these issues for about 2 months of PoE 2 and in no other game. I think I've finally found the issue.

My CPU got overheated (Ryzen 5 7600). I have even stress tested all my hardware, but benchmark softwares do not manage to get it as hot as PoE 2, thus showing no faults.

I started by playing with the computer chassi open and then I didn't get any crashes. Later, I upgraded my CPU cooler (ran with stock cooler previously) and now the game runs flawlessly.

Thanks for the suggestions. Sadly it's not any of the above solutions. I've got a thermaltake GF1, rated Tier A - High End on the PSU Tier List. 850w. I'm only running about 350w system draw (I calculated when building). So I beat the rule of thumb of 20% overhead, and even the under 50% where PSU's are most efficient. I can probably upgrade to a 5070 or 9070 when they come out just fine. (Though I'll check for sure) I've also stress tested everything at max load combined (And separately) for an hour or more. Thermals and power draw are all normal. I've got 2x16 sticks, in the manufacture specified slots of 2 & 4. I've been building PC's for over 30 years, so I wish it were an easy to diagnose problem. But I'm 100% sure it's the game. And I play a lot of other games with no issues.

And as for the other use who helpfully suggested it's my CPU thermals, it also isn't. I was monitoring it on my last crash, to see if for some reason something had happened to my cooling, but I am maintaining a very steady and cool 55C on my CPU. Probably cooler than most people's rigs.

There were no crashes until I started getting in higher tier maps, and was able to spec out my monk better. All that screen clearing of mobs is somehow causing issues in the code or some sort of CPU overflow. Looking at the over 440+ pages of hard crash reports on the forum thread I didn't know existed at the time of this post, I can see that it doesn't seem to matter if it's Intel or AMD CPU. Both Nvidia and AMD GPU's are affected as well.

Not mentioned, but I have never experienced any crashes on my lvl 70 end game witch. Only my lvl 80 monk, probably starting at around lvl 76. The higher he gets, and the more I wreck maps, the more the crashing occurs.

Cool.

I just get very Leary about anything being 100% for sure certain. :)

It is for sure possible just the same something is going on with the code.

Could also be that the Monk, due to coding, or whatever reason, is causing a jump to protected memory or some such, or it could be triggering an overheat too fast to show on a monitor. You go over the max temp for the cpu and your power gets cut instantly to prevent the cpu from melting.

From what you communicated, probably not that but how to tell for sure?

What cooler are you using? Just curious. :)

I've got a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE. Air cooler, but that's why I picked the 65w CPU. (Ryzen 9600x) I more about efficiency than max power. I want the best bang for buck and the quietest and coolest running system.

And before you ask, I have a Lian Li 207 case. Plenty of fans for amazing airflow. The CPU never goes above 60c if I recall, even when stress tested.
