    hi all
    For the pass couple of days my computer has been restarting randomly.
    I haven't noticed it restarting when it is idle or Web browsing.
    All drivers are up to date but still happens and usually when gaming.
    It's a fresh build with some new and old parts
    Ryzen 5600x
    Gigabtye b450
    Vega 56
    16gb ram
    500gb nvme
    1tb ssd
    3tb hdd
    Cpu temp is never over 55c and gpu is max 70c so I am pretty sure it's not a over heating problem.
    The psu is a evga super nova g2 750w brought in Jan 2015. Its been brilliant but getting long in the tooth.
    Do you think it is the psu ?

    Yeh could well be. Sounds like that finicky problem that you get from a PSU on its way out.

    Or the RAM. It's worth running a few rounds of Memtest86 if only to rule it out.

    Weird thing is.. I have just ran a whole bunch on bench marks to stress the cpu and gpu separately and games benchmarks over and over.. and not 1 restart/shut down..
    Will try mem test tonight.

    Played games last night for 3 hours. No restart.
    I did uninstall ryzen master. But as far as I remember I didn't do any pbo or optimisations.. Will have another session tonight.
    Weird.

    Turned off xmp. Seems to have work. How much performance will I lose ?
