my current rig will auto restart itself while gaming (genshin impact/cyberpunk 2077), monitor will suddenly blackout & shows no signal then will restart itself (happened for like about 4x on different occasions). if not lets say i leave my com on overnight, the next day when i was bout to click my progs on my desktop the com will hang and i can't click anything but have to force restart the com. any idea what are the causes for these issues?

This one abit hard to troubleshoot if you don't have extra parts especially the PSU and motherboard.

1) Stress test your cpu (cinebench/prime95) Don't forget to check WHEA errors during it
2) run memtest86 for rams
3) furmark for gpu

I'm guessing it's the ram.

May I know if you have been OC your system?

If yes please try to disable all OC features and see if system stabilized?

Did you turn on XMP/DOCP and then downclock or just set the clockspeed to 3200?

my ram is set at 3200 in bios instead of 3600, cpu n gpu not OC at all.
how about your power plan in control panel? using balance mode?

you mean your RAM capable at 3600 but you are running at 3200?

given the stability issue, please also considered update all your firmware for CPU, motherboard & GPU

and check all your psu cable is fixing tightly to the components.

Reinstall drivers, check ram.

Got chance is PSU if you can get one to test best test that after the ram

Maybe you can check :

mobo BIOS = 3201

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x570-f-gaming-model/helpdesk_download/

GPU BIOS = Version V1

https://rog.asus.com/graphics-cards...x-rtx3070-o8g-gaming-model/helpdesk_download/

CPU Driver = Download latest Ryzen Master

https://www.amd.com/en/support/cpu/...-ryzen-7-desktop-processors/amd-ryzen-7-5800x

Nvidia Graphic Driver : try using latest studio driver instead of game driver to see if the system have better stability.

ok, will update the required things u mentioned. thanks Yongkit
